Something isn't working. I put in |
10 |
mozconfig_annotate '' --disable-pango |
11 |
mozconfig_annotate '' --disable-oji --disable-mathml |
12 |
|
13 |
into the ebuild (a copy in my local overlay) and ebuild-manifested it. |
14 |
Portage said it was building from the overlay, but "about:buildconfig" |
15 |
shows them as being enabled. I have been able to |
16 |
--disable-necko-wifi (WTF is *THAT* in a browser, fercryingoutloud?). |
17 |
|
18 |
Any ideas? A long time ago, in a place far away, I used to build |
19 |
Mozilla 0.9x "the hard way", because the downloadable binary was |
20 |
painfully slow on my machine. And later on Phoenix 0.9x (remember |
21 |
that?). I've forgotten most of what I learned, but I can follow the |
22 |
instructions at https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Simple_Firefox_build |
23 |
I have a couple of questions before proceeding... |
24 |
1) what do I have to set to force all files to be installed in /opt or |
25 |
in /usr/local ? |
26 |
2) I've got 8 gigs of ram. How do I force the compiler to use /dev/shm |
27 |
as the scratch directory ? |
