Firefox won't compile on hardened profile
Firefox won't compile on my system due to the issue described here:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/hardened/245060 They seem to be able to make it compile by enabling softmode. That doesn't work for me, I have the same issue in softmode. I think this is because of my hardened profile. Is there any way to fix this or should I look for a different browser? - Grant |

I don't get it then. Does anyone know why I can't compile Firefox as described in the link above? This sums it up: "firefox-9.0 ebuild stalls at the install phase while xpcshell command tops CPU usage for hours." Although xpcshell doesn't use any CPU for me. It just sits there and the install phase doesn't proceed. - Grant |

Basically it disables jit. > You can't compile it on a grsec kernel because of this bug: :) https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396275 It's odd that it hangs at xpcshell for you as it's already paxmarked in the ebuild... Anyway, I'd suggest: 1) keyword firefox so you can get the latest one, which currently is the 10.0.1. I'm not sure if the security patches between 9.0.1 and 10.0.1 have been backported. AFAIK, Firefox-10.0.1 from the ebuild in portage tree will compile just fine on hardened. 2) As suggested, disabling JIT will do the trick and it seems like recent versions of Firefox can actually have it disabled properly. So the ebuild for icecat/firefox will work for you, you just need this in src_configure() : if use pax_kernel; then mozconfig_annotate ' --disable-methodjit mozconfig_annotate ' --disable-tracejit fi 3) the other benefit of disabling jit completely is that you can now disable the paxmarking turning MPROTECT off and benefit from properfly enforced W^X pages :) Unless you want to use FF for flash or java that is... ;) Cheers, Radek |
