%general-entities; ]> NSPR Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) provides a platform-neutral API for system level and libc like functions. Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Install NSPR by running the following commands: cd nspr && sed -i '/^RELEASE/s|^|#|' pr/src/misc/Makefile.in && sed -i 's|$(LIBRARY) ||' config/rules.mk && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --with-mozilla \ --with-pthreads \ $([ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] && echo --enable-64bit) && make The test suite is designed for testing changes to nss or nspr and is not particularly useful for checking a released version (e.g. it needs to be run on a non-optimized build with both nss and nspr directories existing alongside each other). Now, as the root user: make install First clean the directory by running the following command: make distclean Install lib32-NSPR by running the following commands: CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" \ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib32/pkgconfig \ ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --libdir=/usr/lib32 \ --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu \ --with-mozilla \ --with-pthreads \ --disable-64bit && make Now, as the root user: make DESTDIR=$PWD/DESTDIR install cp -vr DESTDIR/usr/lib32/* /usr/lib32 rm -rf DESTDIR ldconfig --disable-option-checking: This parameter ignores incorrect parameters. --enable-x32: This parameter enables x32-bit support, not to be confused with 32-bit. Meant for 64-bit systems. --enable-64bit: This parameter enables 64-bit support, meant for and needed by 64-bit systems. --enable-mdupdate: This parameter enables some compilers' mdupdate feature. --enable-cplus: This parameter enables some of the C++ API routines. --enable-strip: This parameter enables stripping the built libraries and programs of debug symbols. --enable-user-pthreads: This parameter enables the use of pthreads. --enable-nspr-threads: This parameter enables building the classic NSPR threads. --enable-ipv6: This parameter enables building in ipv6 support. --enable-wrap-malloc: This parameter enables wrapping malloc calls (meant to be used when linking via the GNU linker). --with-mozilla: This option enables building with Mozilla support. --with-ccache=<PATH>: This parameter enables compiling with ccache. --with-pthreads: This parameter uses the system pthreads library. sed -ri '/^RELEASE/s/^/#/' pr/src/misc/Makefile.in: This sed disables installing two unneeded scripts. sed -i 's#$(LIBRARY) ##' config/rules.mk: This sed disables installing the static libraries. --with-mozilla: This parameter adds Mozilla support to the libraries (required if you want to build any other Mozilla products and link them to these libraries). --with-pthreads: This parameter forces use of the system pthread library. --enable-64bit: The --enable-64bit parameter is required on an x86_64 system to prevent configure failing with a claim that this is a system without pthread support. The [ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] test ensures it has no effect on a 32 bit system. Keep the line if intending to do multilib, and the lib32 instructions will be down below.
