I noticed while trying to build the mozilla module of liferea that /opt/mozilla/lib/pkgconfig is not added to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. /opt/mozilla/bin is also not included in PATH (I think), and the man pages are not in MANPATH. I therefore propose something like this script for /etc/profile.d/ ...

export MOZDIR=/opt/mozilla
export PATH=$PATH:$MOZDIR/bin
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$MOZDIR/man
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$MOZDIR/lib/pkgconfig
This task depends upon

adding this to the todo list for changes when mozilla 1.7 is released in a few weeks... for now, your PKGBUILD can do something like

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$MOZDIR/lib/pkgconfig

like galeon, etc's PKGBUILD does currently.

moz 1.7 package remains without this, so far. I expect this bug has been forgotten, so this is just a reminder.

setting MOZDIR with a system-wide profile path seems to have weird effects on other mozilla-based applications (firefox/thunderbird). Not sure of a way around this one.

I'm going to leave this unchanged for now as we now have gecko-sdk to build mozilla based products from instead.

We're switching to a shared mozilla prefix, this will go into mozilla-common. Note that MOZDIR won't go in there, since it's a variable that only needs to get set by the mozilla launcher. Setting is global causes problems as Dale says.
