This directory contains Solaris builds of the Thunderbird 1.5.0.8, 
which are contributed by SUN Desktop Beijing Team. If you have 
any problem with these builds, please send email to 
mozorg-builds@sun.com


Installation:
-------------
* Tarball format

Extract the tarball to a proper location[1]
$ bzip2 -dc <tarball basename>.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -

[1]: Make sure there is no thunderbird directory there before you 
extract the tarball, it's not recommended to just overwrite the old 
thunderbird directory.

* Pkgadd format

1, First uncompress the zip file
$ bzip2 -d <zip file basename>.bz2 
You will get a package datastream file named <zip file basename>

2, Install the package as root
# pkgadd -d ./<zip file basename>
The default install location would be /opt/sfw/lib/thunderbird


To Enable Java:
---------------
cd /path/to/<install location>/plugins
ln -s /path/to/<java plugin install location>/libjavaplugin_oji.so 

On Solaris 10, Java plugin is probably located at 
/usr/java/jre/plugin/<sparc|i386>/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
On Solaris 8/9, it's probably located at 
/usr/j2se/jre/plugin/<sparc|i386>/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so


To Enable Flash/Shockwave:
--------------------------
1, Download the Flash/Shockwave plugin from
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Intel&P3_Browser_Version=Netscape4&P5_Language=English

2, Extract the tarball and place the files under
/path/to/<install location>/plugins


To Run The Application:
-----------------------
a, Execute the application by specifying the absolute path 
$ /path/to/<install location>/thunderbird

b, Add <install location> to your PATH and execute "thunderbird"

c, Add the desktop file and start from menu(pkgadd format only)
# cat >/usr/share/applications/thunderbird.desktop<<EOF

Troubleshooting:
----------------

* For Solaris 8 builds, you need to install GTK 1.2 library.
You can get the GTK 1.2 libraries from sun.com or sunfreeware.com

* Also for Solaris 8 builds, you may need to install some required 
patches.

For example, if you encounter the following error,
ld.so.1: ./thunderbird-bin: fatal: relocation error: file ./thunderbird-bin: symbol fmod: referenced symbol not found.

You probably have to install Math Library(libm) patch,
Solaris 5.8 sparc: 111721 
Solaris 5.9 sparc: 111722
Solaris 5.8 i386 : 112757 
Solaris 5.9 i386 : 111728

You might have more than one libm library installed on your system, 
please make sure that you are using the one under /usr/lib.

* If you could not start up the application or encounter some 
unexpected crash, try to do this,

1, Rename the profile directory("$HOME/.mozilla" for Mozilla suite, 
"$HOME/.mozilla/firefox" for Firefox and "$HOME/.thunderbird" for 
Thunderbird)

2, Start up the application without importing anything

      
Build Configuration:
--------------------
* Firefox and Mozilla suite

Start up Mozilla/Firefox that you just installed and type 
"about:buildconfig" in the URL field, and then you would see all the 
build configurations used for this build.

* Thunderbird

Extract "buildconfig.html" from <install location>/chrome/toolkit.jar, 
which records all the build configure information of this build. 
$ jar xf /path/to/<install location>/chrome/toolkit.jar \
    content/global/buildconfig.html
