Several years ago, back in the days of Mozilla 0.9x and Phoenix, I |
| 2 |
used to build Mozilla and/or Pheonix from the source tarball. I've been |
| 3 |
using Gentoo for years, and I've forgotten a lot about building manually |
| 4 |
from source. I asked this question on mozillazine.org, but no answers |
| 5 |
yet. Hopefully, I can get some help here. I'm looking at |
| 6 |
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Simple_SeaMonkey_build and I |
| 7 |
have a few questions... |
| 8 |
|

1) What options do I need to set to make Seamonkey (or Firefox) build |
| 10 |
in, and run from, a local dir, e.g. "${HOME}/seamonkey"? Something to |
| 11 |
do with "prefix" and "exec-prefix"? I'd prefer to avoid jumping to root |
| 12 |
for the install. And throwing in files in /usr that portage doesn't |
| 13 |
know about, is begging for trouble. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
2) I read the instructions on how to pass the "O2" flag to the make and |
| 16 |
compile process. What about the rest of the CFLAGS line? My CFLAGS are |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables" |

For those who are wondering, I want to tweak it well beyond what the |
| 21 |
Gentoo ebuild allows. And I'll be doing some experimentation, so I |
| 22 |
couldn't specify what I want right now. |
