Install Firefox

[Basanta Shrestha]

Hi there,
I use fedora ARM to build OS for XO1.75. I have recently successfully built
OS12.1.0 using olpc-os-12.1.0-xo1.75.ini. Now I am in need of preparing a
build with firefox and flashplugin. Is it possible? If yes, what addition
do I need to make on which files? Please suggest.

Thanks
Basanta

You can use the olpc-os-builder custom_pkgs module to add firefox, and
the adobe_flash module to add the flash player plugin for ARM which
you presumably already have stored separately.

Adding firefox did install firefox but gave following error while trying to
execute on XO:
--------------------
$ firefox
Error: Platform version '13.0' is not compatible with
minVersion >= 12.0
maxVersion <= 12.0
---------------------

Here is my entry of configuration file

-------------------------
[root@fedora-arm examples]# tail -10 olpc-os-12.1.0-xo1.75.ini
[custom_packages]
add_packages=firefox

[adobe_flash]
plugin_path=/root/libflashplayer.so

[sugar_welcome_activity]

[buildnr_from_file]
path=latestbuild

Looks like an incompatibility with xulrunner, which hasn't been
successfully built on F17 in a while:
http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=10131
Maybe Peter has some comments.

You could try an older version of firefox to match the latest (old)
version of xulrunner available.
