Yes. I set /usr/local/portage as the overlay directory in make.conf. I then made a directory called net-www under /usr/local/portage, and put the mozilla ebuild in there. |

2) Did you put it in /usr/local/portage/net-www/ or /usr/local/portage/net-www/mozilla-firebird ? It needs to be in the latter to work properly. |
That did it. I didn't know portage had sub-directories under the main ones like that. Thanks. |

Found an extension that allows mailto links to work in firebird.
http://mozex.mozdev.org/
So far I've got firebird opening mailto links with thunderbird but it looks theres no way to get links to open in thunderbird. |

| Ok, another problem. I just emerged firebird and everything seems to have gone just fine. emerge -p mozilla-firebird shows that 0.7 is installed. Problem is that it seems to have not installed anything. I can't find any trace of firebird anywhere onmy HD. Nothing in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. Nothing in /usr/share, nothing anywhere. It took an hour to compile, and I didn't get any error messages during the process. I just did an updatedb, and a locate firebird, and only found the stuff in the portage directories. More help? |

| Okay I finally got Mozilla 1.5 down, but the damn thing just won't compile for me. I'm guessing I'll leave the ebuilding to the maintainer of the ebuild, at least I have the file down now. |

That did it. Again, thanks. I figured the install script would do the symlink automagically. |

Can somebody make a binary ebuild? I have a 500 MHz laptop (if you can call it that) with 128 MB RAM, and Mozilla Firebird took forever for me to install (and then I found out about mozilla-firebird-bin ^_^). So.... For anybody who's going to use Skypanther's Firebird ebuild, could you do an emerge --buildpkg mozilla-firebird?

There is a page full of torrents at:
http://www.metashops.co.uk/mozilla/
There are currently nine seeds just chilling waiting for people to download thunderbird. I'm assuming it's the same for the other torrents.
If anyone has the source and wants to torrent it, you can use the following announce to add it to this page: (I would be very grateful)

wow, it seems faster
btw, I'm going to build a binary package for those with slow cpu:
CFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -O2"
USE="+java -gtk2 -ipv6 -gnome -moznoxft"
I can not host it. So if somebody can, please let me know where I can upload it. |

The basics: Firebird is the Mozilla web browser. Thunderbird is the Mozilla mail client. Mozilla itself is much like Netscape: A mail client, web browser, etc all in one package.
For more information, see http://www.mozilla.org |

Firebird is much faster than the man Mozilla browser, however.

i had problems compiling thunderbird at first, something about enigmail, so i peeked at the ebuild, and removed the crypt use flag, and then it compiled, but when i would go to run it, i would get link failure messages. So i guess ill spend another 45 mins compiling

just learned by reading the ebuild that thunderbird doesnt like when you have -fomit-frame-pointer in make.conf for your cflags. heads up to anyone with that.
