Installation of NSPR
Install NSPR by running the following commands:
cd nspr &&
sed -ri '/^RELEASE/s/^/#/' pr/src/misc/Makefile.in &&
sed -i 's#$(LIBRARY) ##' config/rules.mk &&
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--with-mozilla \
--with-pthreads \
$([ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] && echo --enable-64bit) &&
make
The test suite is designed for testing changes to nss or nspr and is
not particularly useful for checking a released version (e.g. it needs
to be run on a non-optimized build with both nss and nspr directories
existing alongside each other). For further details, see the Editor Notes
for nss at https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/nss
Now, as the root user:
make install
Command Explanations
sed -ri '/^RELEASE/s/^/#/' pr/src/misc/Makefile.in:
This sed disables installing two unneeded scripts.
sed -i 's#$(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.
$([ $(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.
