Installation of NSPR
Install NSPR by running the
following commands:
cd mozilla/nsprpub &&
sed -i 's#^\(RELEASE_BINS =\).*#\1#' pr/src/misc/Makefile.in &&
sed -i 's#$(LIBRARY) ##' config/rules.mk &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-mozilla --with-pthreads \
$([ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] && echo --enable-64bit) &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
cat > /usr/lib/pkgconfig/nspr.pc << "HERE_DOC"
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include/nspr

Command Explanations
--with-mozilla: This
parameter adds Mozilla support to the libraries (required if you
want to build any other Mozilla products and link them to these
libraries).
--with-pthreads: This
parameter forces use of the system pthreads library.
$([ $(uname -m) ...
--enable-64bit: This parameter is required on an x86_64 system to prevent
configure failing
with a claim that this is a system without pthread support. It has
no effect on a 32 bit system.
sed -i 's#^\(RELEASE_BINS
...: This disables installing two unneeded scripts.
sed -i 's#$(LIBRARY) ##'
config/rules.mk: This disables installing the
static libraries.
cat > /usr/lib/pkgconfig/nspr.pc
...Create a pkg-config file to help other programs
finding the nspr libraries.
