Introduction to Sunbird
Mozilla Sunbird is a cross-platform calendar application, built upon Mozilla Toolkit.

Creating a .mozconfig
The .mozconfig file contains the options that will be used to build firefox.
The first line includes the default configuration for compiling and the second line determines where the build objects are going to reside.
Having --with-system-nss and --with-system-nspr does not mean you *HAVE* to have a system installed version of nss and nspr. It makes the build system prefer to use the system installed version of nss and nspr over the internal version.
--enable-canvas enables support for the <canvas></canvas> tag.
--enable-svg enables support for rendering svg files.
--disable-tests prevents test programs from being built which saves a lot of disk space and time.
--disable-installer prevents the installer from being built. --enable-official-branding causes the installed binaries to have the official Firefox name embedded in them. Due to license restrictions, you may not distribute binaries created using this option.

If you would like dual monitor support, append your your .mozconfig with the following:
cat >> .mozconfig << "EOF" ac_add_options --enable-xinerama EOF
If you would like to render fonts with Pango, append your your .mozconfig with the following. This can significantly slow font rendering.
cat >> .mozconfig << "EOF" ac_add_options --enable-pango EOF
If you do not have JDK installed then add the following to your .mozconfig:
cat >> .mozconfig << "EOF" ac_add_options --disable-javaxpcom EOF
Non-Multilib
sed -i "s:@MOZ_GTK2_LIBS@:& -L${XORG_PREFIX}/lib -lX11 -lXrender:g" config/autoconf.mk.in
Compile the package:
make -f client.mk build
Install the package:
make -f client.mk install
50-thunderbird.sh
If you're using the Bash Startup Files create an addition for Thunderbird with the following commands, otherwise make sure the enviornment variables are set in your profile:
cat > /etc/profile.d/50-sunbird.sh << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/profile.d/50-sunbird.sh
export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/sunbird-0.9/bin"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH+:}/opt/sunbird-0.9/lib/pkgconfig"
# End /etc/profile.d/50-sunbird.sh
EOF
Multilib
The order that the builds are displayed on this page isn't neccesarily the order that you install them in. If you would like a 32bit browser but still require the 64bit libraries for other packages build the 32bit version last.
Remember, Use a clean source and build directory for each build, Thunderbird is no exception.
32Bit
Use the following command to append your .mozconfig with 32bit specific flags:
cat >> .mozconfig << EOF
export CC="gcc ${BUILD32}"
export CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}"
export USE_ARCH=32
ac_add_options --host=$CLFS_TARGET32
ac_add_options --build=$CLFS_TARGET32
mk_add_options CONFIG_GUESS=$CLFS_TARGET32
EOF
sed -i "s:@MOZ_GTK2_LIBS@:& -L${XORG_PREFIX}/lib -lX11 -lXrender:g" config/autoconf.mk.in
x86
Compile the package:
make -f client.mk OS_TEST=x86 build
Install the package:
make -f client.mk OS_TEST=x86 install
64Bit
Use the following command to append your .mozconfig with 64bit specific flags:
cat >> .mozconfig << EOF
ac_add_options --libdir=/opt/thunderbird-3.0.4/lib64
export CC="gcc ${BUILD64}"
export CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}"
export USE_ARCH=64
EOF
sed -i "s:@MOZ_GTK2_LIBS@:& -L${XORG_PREFIX}/lib64 -lX11 -lXrender:g" config/autoconf.mk.in
Compile the package:
make -f client.mk build
Install the package:
make -f client.mk install
50-thunderbird.sh
If you're using the Bash Startup Files create an addition for Thunderbird with the following commands, otherwise make sure the enviornment variables are set in your profile:
cat > /etc/profile.d/50-sunbird.sh << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/profile.d/50-sunbird.sh
export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/sunbird-0.9/bin"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH32="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32+:}/opt/sunbird-0.9/lib/pkgconfig"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32+:}/opt/sunbird-0.9/lib32/pkgconfig"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH64="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64+:}/opt/sunbird-0.9/lib64/pkgconfig"
# End /etc/profile.d/50-sunbird.sh
EOF
Creating the Desktop File
Since Thunderbird does not provide a desktop file by default below is an example one:
cat > /usr/share/applications/sunbird.desktop << "EOF" [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Mozilla Sunbird Comment= Exec=thunderbird Icon=thunderbird.png Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Application;Network; EOF
Grab the Thunderbird pixmap from http://cross-lfs.org/~jciccone/thunderbird.png and put it in /usr/share/pixmaps.
