Now, as the root user: make install sed -ri 's#^(RELEASE_BINS =).*#\1#' 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. $([ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] && echo --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. Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories nspr-config libnspr4.so, libplc4.so and libplds4.so /usr/include/nspr Short Descriptions nspr-config provides compiler and linker options to other packages that use NSPR. nspr-config libnspr4.so contains functions that provide platform independence for non-GUI operating system facilities such as threads, thread synchronization, normal file and network I/O, interval timing and calendar time, basic memory management and shared library linking. libnspr4.so libplc4.so contains functions that implement many of the features offered by libnspr4 libplc4.so libplds4.so contains functions that provide data structures. libplds4.so
