Thunderbird with Lightning Calendar support

Postby raumzeit » Fri Feb 28, 2014 7:37 am

Hi,

since the last upgrade of thunderbird from version 17 to 24.3 for armv7h my alien lightning package (taken from fedora core 18) is not compatible anymore. However, I successfully managed to compile thunderbird with lightning extension and manually installed the resulting .xpi (lightning 2.6.4 for armv7h) on my ARM chromebook.
To accomplish this, I added
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
ac_add_options --enable-calendar

ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-debug-symbols
')

to the mozconfig of the thunderbird package.
What is the alarm developers opinion of including the lightning.xpi into the alarm thunderbird package by default?
Should I modify the PKGBUILD and issue a merge request?

Best

Doesn't it work to install the add-on from the Mozilla add-on site where you can download the XPI? I thought those things were supposed to be platform agnostic.

Unfortunately not! The only two addons I use (enigmail and lightning) need to be compiled and are therefore platform specific. The Mozilla AddOn page only provides x86 binaries for Linux, Windows, and OS X...
