A couple of things to note, which also apply to building Firefox |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
1) When using the Palemoon overlay, I found that USE="optimize" turns |
| 18 |
off Gentoo's optimization, and replaces it with limited "optimization" |
| 19 |
by the mozconfig. If you're going to build it, I recommend |
| 20 |
USE="-optimize" |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
2) USE="-system-libs" is recommended. Yes, this does make the binary |
| 23 |
slightly larger. But it avoids problems where changing API/ABI in the |
| 24 |
system lib causes subtle problems for the program. It may also reduce |
| 25 |
dependancies pulled in, depending on what your other programs have |
| 26 |
pulled in. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Consider taking the easy way out, and installing it locally from the |
| 29 |
tarball, e.g... |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
* download the tarball from http://linux.palemoon.org/download/mainline/ |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
* mkdir $HOME/pm |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
* tar -C $HOME/pm -xvjf palemoon.*.bz2 |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
*THE ENTIRE PROGRAM* is contained in the directory $HOME/pm/palemoon/ |
| 38 |
Extracting the tarball does *NOT* splatter libraries all over the place. |
| 39 |
"Uninstalling" consists of "rm -rf $HOME/pm/palemoon". The executable |
| 40 |
file will be $HOME/pm/palemoon/palemoon |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
One more hint for graphics acceleration, which also applies to Firefox |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
* set "layers.acceleration.force-enabled" to true in "about:config" |
| 45 |
* export MOZ_USE_OMTC=1 |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
MOZ_USE_OMTC has to be set before launching Pale Moon |
| 48 |
