seamonkey 1.0 ebuild

Rafal_Glazar · Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2006 2:47 pm Post subject: seamonkey 1.0 ebuild

I've made (using mozilla 1.7.12 ebuild) ebuild for seamonkey 1.0 beta. It has few issues. All of them are described in this bug report. Ebuild is there as well.

Edit:
I've updated my ebuild for seamonkey 1.0. There is also patched mozilla-launcher ebuild for seamonkey usage. All in bug report.

Edit 2:
Here is the link to the tarball with all files needed to emerge seamonkey. This is recommended way of getting the ebuild.

WARNING! For testing purpose only!

It is odd that when i edit my post this forum acts like nothing changed inside this thread. So here is another post to make it think this thread has changes.

I've made a tarball with all files needed for emerging seamonkey. It is here. Just download it, untar to your portage overlay and emerge.

PS. I had to delete my ~/.mozilla directory for all things to work. Good thing that I can restore my Bookmarks and History just by copying bookmarks.html and history.dat

Since I like my browsers to be as full figured as my computers I tried to use this ebuild to install seamonkey on my dual opteron machine setting "~x86" as a keyword but it craps out with:

Try to change my ebuild by editing the line

Could you post USE flag that you used? And your emerge info.

Sure.

This is summary of my work since my last post.

I tried to make ebuild using mozcoreconf and mozconfig-2 and this is the outcome:

1. It looks like some flags from mozcoreconf breaks seamonkey. It does compile but does not start giving error:
seamonkey-bin exit with non-zero status (or soething like that)
those flags are --enable-single-profile --disable-profilesharing --disable-profilelocking.

2. I've made new ebuild using mozconfig and here are the changes (tarball is updated):

- I've renamed mozconfig-3 back to mozconfig and change ebuild accordingly,

- I've added --enable-canvas because someone told that it works partialy and ./configure --help gives me this flag so I think that canvas is disabled by default,

- I did comment out line adding -enable-extensions=gnomevfs because it is compiled just by setting --enable-gnomevfs

- I did the same with mozconfig_use_extension postgres sql because it sets -enable-extensions=-sql when the postgres USE flag is not set and that is no needed and I've added mozconfig_annotate '' --enable-extensions=sql when postgres is set (by the way if enyone know what is this needed for e-mail me about it)

4. Chatzilla might not work in some cases and I still don't know why.

5. I've added ~amd64 keyword and I'm asking for anyone on that arch to try it and email me if it works, USE flag used and emerge info (my email is in the bug).

Thanks
Rafal

There is a workaround for gcc-4.0.* on amd64 here. Using this the 1.0 source compiled correctly.

Thanks EzInKy. Ebuild (or to be precise eclass) updated. Just get the latest tarball from here or get the new mozconfig.eclass from the bug (no need for new digest).

I have moved amd64 hack from eclass to ebuild.

Using all the newest files from the bug report, I cannot get this to compile...
1) I had to add

To chrisashton84:
1) Did you get the tarball or just ebuild. If just ebuild then best option is to get the tarball and unpack it to your PORTAGE_OVERLAY. If you did get tarball, then for some reason ebuild is getting eclass from your portage. To change this the simplest way will be renaming eclass to mozconfig-3.eclass and editing ebuild by changing line

works perfect here with gcc4..i can say it is faster than firefox

First problem was my mistake - I had the eclass named wrong.

Second problem was fixed with the new ebuild - thanks

I installed seamonkey using the ebuild. Damn, just as fucked-up as firefox 1.5 under linux. Scrolling big pages is awfully slow. The same counts for resizing fonts.

Thanks for providing the ebuild, but I'll stay on Firefox 1.0.7.

I have a problem with the downloadmanager:
when it is used, X takes around 50% and seamonkey nearly the other 50% of the CPU-power for around 5 seconds (latest ebuild). Anyone with the same problem?

Rafal_Glazar · Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2006 9:09 am Post subject:

I did update the ebuild. Now it uses newer eclasses. It is compiled against system NSPR and NSS. I also add some patches that I think will solve AMD64 bug more proper way. Enigmail is out of the ebuild so there will be another ebuild for it. All those changes were made to make this ebuild more consistent with the way Gentoo devs are making Firefox-Thunderbird-Enigmail ebuilds.

i tried the ebuild yesterday, must say i like seamonkey except of some minor things, but thats okay....

the problem i've got now is, that seamonkey uninstalled my mozilla, okay, no problem so far, but yelp (gnome help browser) is now broken because it needs mozilla (for rendering?)... devhelp will also not work...

some ideas?

Rafal_Glazar · Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2006 6:43 pm Post subject:

The thing is, that Seamonkey puts files in different place. Seamonkey installs files into /usr/lib/seamonkey and Mozilla Suite into /usr/lib/mozilla. Also they might not be 100% compatible so in order to use packages that depends on Mozilla (or Gecko) you need to rebuild it against seamonkey. The fact is that seamonkey is new so not many packages have right option in configure script. Yelp 2.12.2 does compile against Seamonkey. Devhelp doesn't (It does not have right configure option). Another package I know is Epiphany and although epiphany 1.8.4.1 have --with-mozilla=seamonkey option it does not compile against Seamonkey. On the other hand Epiphany 1.9.6 does compile.

So to sum it up my ebuild is for testing purpose only and if you want to have it the right way wait for the one in portage.

well, thanks for the quick answer and that was exactly the information i needed... i will update yelp, devhelp is not that important to me and i'm not using epiphany anyway...

however, I hope the 'official' ebuild will come out soon...

Problem with Downloadmanager is solved with latest ebuild.
Thank you!
