Unfortunately, the Unix build instructions are a bit linux centric. The reason that we moved off of gcc onto egcs (i.e. the bugs the build instructors were refering to) was that we had problems with g++ and threaded applications on Linux. Now if those problems apply to FreeBSD as well, I dunno. For now I would suggest going with gcc, if you can get a port that works. No reason to stay blocked on an internal compiler error. /t Christopher Masto wrote: > On Fri, Jan 22, 1999 at 01:37:01AM +0000, Terry Lambert wrote: > > > nsDocLoader.cpp: In method `nsDocLoaderServiceFactory::~nsDocLoaderServiceFactory()': > > > nsDocLoader.cpp:1869: Internal compiler error. > > > nsDocLoader.cpp:1869: Please submit a full bug report to `bug-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu'. > > > gmake: *** [nsDocLoader.o] Error 1 > > > gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/data/cvs/mozilla/mozilla/webshell/src' > > > > > > This doesn't seem to be a good sign.
