I tried it, and for good measure, did some spelunking in the |
| 16 |
.configure file in the firefox tarball. I have some questions, before |
| 17 |
possibly tweaking the Firefox ebuild and/or .configure on my machine... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
--enable-application=xulrunner |
| 20 |
will Firefox run without this? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
--enable-pango |
| 23 |
will Firefox run without this? I have the "moznopango" flag set, which |
| 24 |
is supposed to speed things up, but about:buildconfig indicates that |
| 25 |
pango is enabled. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
--disable-strip --disable-strip-libs --disable-install-strip |
| 28 |
Why? I thought most packages stripped code after install. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
--enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2 |
| 31 |
will Firefox run without this? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
--enable-oji |
| 34 |
will Firefox run without this? And what is "oji"? I can't find any |
| 35 |
mention of what it does. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
--enable-mathml |
| 38 |
I don't really need it right now. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
--enable-storage |
| 41 |
will Firefox run without this? The help says... |
| 42 |
"Enable mozStorage module and related components". Can someone please |
| 43 |
give a short explanation in plain English what this does? |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
--disable-ogg |
| 46 |
One thing I might consider enabling. Is there a problem with Firefox's |
| 47 |
ogg support, or any other reason to disable it? |
