[Enigmail] Building Enigmail for TB comm-central: static or shared, libxul or not?

[Michael J Gruber]

Hi there,

I'm trying to build Enigmail for current TB nightlies. (I'm on 64bit
Fedora 10 so I can't run Mozilla's 3.0b1 binaries easily anyways, and
can't used binary Enigmail xpi either).

I can build and run TB from a hg checkout of comm-central. Yeah ;)

For building Enigmail (from cvs), I've been following the instructions
on the Enigmail website and ended up with the attached error which seems
to be related to a conflict in build options (shared/static).

I've built TB with "ac_add_options --enable-static --disable-libxul"
because d.m.o. says TB can't be built shared with libxul (and also
because I wanted to "make package"). Is this still true? How
(static/shared/libxul) do you build TB when you build Enigmail for TB 3
nightlies?

Thanks for any hints,
Michael
