Re: Installed latest version 3.4, no mouse, firefox 19.0.2 not compiling, any advice or suggestions?

Error is as follows:

Using dragonfly bsd newest one here, updated pkgsrc using directions in


http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/howtos/HowToPkgsrc/

typed
bmake install clean

and I get eror:

/usr/pkgsr/www/firefox/work.
buildlink/lib/xulrunner/include/nsStringAPI.h:1087:3:
error: static assertion failed: size of wchar_t must be 2

*** Error Code 2

Stop.

bmake stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/www.firefox
*Error Code 1

But error is typed out only :( since I don't have mouse in xfce and
just using plain terminal :(

Best Regards,


Antonio
