Details

A while ago I filed a bug against freetype 2.1.9 that was crashing all mozilla based browsers. On other distros, freetype 2.1.9 worked fine, so I decided to rebuild 2.1.9 without CFLAGS. Simply unsetting CFLAGS before the ./configure did the trick, I'm filing this bug with epiphany and freetype 2.1.9 :P
This task depends upon

Hmmm... mozilla-firefox still crashes on me.

doesn't crash here. Are you sure you unset CFLAGS in the freetype2 PKGBUILD?

Yep, there are no optimization flags showing up in the gcc lines.

eg,


gcc -pedantic -ansi -I/home/jvinet/arch/build/lib/freetype2/src/freetype-2.1.9/objs -I./builds/unix -I/home/jvinet/arch/build/lib/freetype2/src/freetype-2.1.9/include -c -Wall -DFT_CONFIG_OPTION_SYSTEM_ZLIB -DDARWIN_NO_CARBON "-DFT_CONFIG_CONFIG_H=<ftconfig.h>" -I/home/jvinet/arch/build/lib/freetype2/src/freetype-2.1.9/src/cff /home/jvinet/arch/build/lib/freetype2/src/freetype-2.1.9/src/cff/cff.c -fPIC -DPIC -o /home/jvinet/arch/build/lib/freetype2/src/freetype-2.1.9/objs/.libs/cff.o

Jan, would you mind sending me your PKGBUILD and the resulting package?

That's the PKGBUILD and the package I use. I don't use the bytecode patch, since I don't like it (anymore).

i found patches for thunderbird and firefox to enable them to use freetype2-2.1.8 or higher. i am building them now, and will post my results when done. i did compile freetype2-2.1.9 with the following flags:
-march=pentium4 -02 -pipe -Wl,O1

The patches for firefox and mozilla seem to be the solution to this problem. When Freetype 2.1.9 was released in archlinux, mozilla and firefox did not get a rebuild.

Where are the patches?

I'll pass this to Dale for the mozilla-* patches. Dale, can you throw it back at me when you're done, and I can test the freetype 2.1.9 upgrade?

That's the bugzilla report at mozilla with patches. I think it should be able to patch mozilla too.
