 Posted: Thu Sep 26, 2002 1:34 am Post subject: New Phoenix (0.2) web browser ebuild (updated) |
 |
|
Hey guys, Here is a Phoenix ebuild I made.
Phoenix is a new XML FAST gecko browser based off mozilla.
2002-10-01---NEW UPDATE
Here is a new ebuild and tar.bz2 I made with the latest Phoenix-0.2 cvs!
http://linux.darylstimm.com/phoenix-r1.tar 10k (it downloads the tar.bz2 when emerging)
If link is down read this post https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=95987&highlight=#95987
NOW WORKS WITH GTK2!!!
(add gtk2 to your USE)
Uncludes new theme and proxy preferences! plus much much more.
**update**
Now the Phoenix ebuild enables truetype fonts by default no need to edit your unix.js file!
grab it here:
http://linux.darylstimm.com/phoenix.tar
To install just untar in /usr/portage and emerge phoenix!
Enjoy!
**end update**
Because they didnt release the source this is the lastest CVS snapshot and the reason its not a cvs ebuild is because the mozilla-trunk is currently not buildable.
It currently installs it into /usr/lib/phoenix/bin/phoenix
but since its based on mozilla (and since most people have mozilla installed) you will need to set the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME variable.
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/phoenix/lib/mozilla-1.2b
As you can see its based off Mozilla-1.2b thats why the download and the compile time is about the same as mozilla-1.1.
Since this ebuild was just made, expect bugs. But I currently have it running on 4 machines and its running perfectly.
you might want to make a phoenix script that will help you launch it.
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/phoenix/lib/mozilla-1.2b
/usr/lib/phoenix/bin/phoenix |
Please email me at daryl@darylstimm.com if you have any problems or reply in the forum.
Enjoy!
If you try it please post your results in the forum. thanks!

Have you had any problems with this breaking any other Mozilla or Galeon isntallations?

doesnt break anything. It even has ~/.phoenix so it doesnt get in the way of ~/.mozilla
Check it out it works great! |

To get true type fonts working you need to edit the /usr/lib/phoenix/lib/mozilla-1.2b/defaults/pref/unix.js file
and you need to make sure it looks like this
| Code: | pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true);
pref("font.FreeType2.autohinted", false);
pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", false);
pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/usr/share/fonts/truetype");
pref("font.directory.truetype.2", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF");
pref("font.directory.truetype.3", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype"); |
I am currently working on a patch that will fix this
my unix.js file is here http://linux.darylstimm.com/unix.js in case you need it. |

Good job on the ebuild.
Working, though I'm not sure I'm seeing significant/noticeable speed improvements. I'm wondering if the 'speed improvements' are a Phoenix feature, or if they are in the Moz 1.2 code.

this is a phoenix feature : its less bloated, so its supposed to be faster.
BUT its only the beginning, ie there are still lots of things to remove, and also, the speed difference isnt noticeable on good computers.
I have a PIII 500 + 192mb ram, and mozilla takes less than 5 seconds to launch (mailnews + browser)... |

this is a bit off topic, but how do I import the bookmarks from mozilla ?
What I did was to export the bookmarks with mozilla then tried to import the bookmarks with phoenix but it refuses to import anything - maybe it's not implemented yet ?
Can I change this by hand somewhere ?
So far I have it running here at work under windows because mozilla barfed on my today ... really odd.
But phoenix runs well and fast. Faster then ie 6 or mozilla.
I use different progs for mail, irc and so on, so all I use is the browser function anyways.
Can't wait to give phoenix a spin at home under gentoo. |

It seems the ebuild isn't working for me :(
I use "-march=atlhlon -O3 -pipe"

i had this problem too.
solution:
| Code: |
cd ~
cd .mozilla/default/blah.slt/
this is where your bookmarks live for mozo, where *default* is the profile you use.
cd ~/.phoenix/default/blah.slt/
mv bookmarks.html bookmark.old
cp ~/.mozilla/default/blah.slt/bookmarks.html .

Wanted to check this out, so I downloaded the above referenced ebuild, extracted to /usr/portage, and tried 'emerge phoenix' just now. Got a 'message digests do not match!' error. Deleted and fetched the file again. Still get the same error.

7c4b37bd7b7b215ad6db01937e977f12
Four attempts at this, and I've gotten the 4 md5sums shown above. Don't want to continue eating your bandwidth. Any ideas?

Now that i've got phoenix installed and running. Does anyone have any idea on how to get plugins working? I can't seem to make them work. Good job on the ebuild BTW.

| I just installed Phoenix on using this ebuild. Worked great. Good job on the ebuild. I'm typing this message in Win32 Phoenix so I'll have to see if there is any speed difference between this and the Linux one. |

hi
just put your mozilla (netscape) plugins in /usr/lib/phoenix/plugins directory
perhaps you can symlink them as well, i haven`t tried yet ...
great work dcstimm!
it works really fine

For those that are having compile errors it looks like you have gtk2 in your USE. Gtk2 does not work currently and will die giving you errors. Your GCC optimizations shouldnt affect it.
IF it failes for you please post your USE settings.
Thanks!

To get flash plugins to work I did
| Code: | cp ShockwaveFlash.class libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/phoenix/lib/mozilla-1.2b/plugins/
cd /usr/lib/phoenix/lib/mozilla-1.2b/
chown -R myuser.users plugins/ |
and it worked perfectly
Im sure the same thing applies for java but I currently have that disabled. |

I have noticed that on my slower celeron system (850mhz) Phoenix opens about 20% faster than mozilla. On my dual p3 850mhz and my celeron 1.2ghz they open at about the same speed. Also Phoenix is using less memory.
About the md5sum problem some people are having, I dont know. The correct md5sum is d88f31fd0720e836bfd35158f5049a05.

Ahh I've got shockwave working. Unfortunately Java still wants to act funny despite the fact that I've recompiled it using the javafromscratch hints. I guess i'll give it another go when I get home. Thanks for the advise.

Nice work on the ebuild - it compiled successfully first time (gcc 3.2 with CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer").
It's very promising first release of the browser. It certainly seems to load a lot faster than mozilla, and it doesn't seem as buggy as galeon (though I haven't used it much yet). |

The only bug I experience in Galeon, appears in Phoenix. Not being able to enter text in boxes until you select another window (I usually just click on another tab).

good work dcstimm!
however anyone got java plugin to work with gcc 3.2 ????!??
compiled sun-jdk from source
it auto inserts links under /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (which I then copied to phoenix), but it just won't work in EITHER program.. argh..
I've seen that to get java working with gcc 3.2 you have to compile form source, which I have done, but still no go.
thoughts? |
