| 359 | With the introduction of <application>gcc-12</application>, many
|
|---|
| 360 | more warnings are generated when compiling mozilla applications
|
|---|
| 361 | and that results in a much slower, and larger, build. Furthermore,
|
|---|
| 362 | building with GCC on i?86 is currently broken.
|
|---|
| 363 | Although upstream mozilla code defaults to using
|
|---|
| 364 | <application>llvm</application> unless overridden, the older configure
|
|---|
| 365 | code in <application>Seamonkey</application> defaults to gcc.

|
|---|
| 372 | The building system always checks for an old version (2.13) of
|
|---|
| 373 | autoconf, but it's not really needed because the necessary

|---|
| 374 | <command>configure</command> scripts are already shipped in the
|
|---|
| 375 | tarball and we've not modified the <filename>configure.in</filename>
|
|---|
| 376 | files. So we pass <envar>AUTOCONF=true</envar> so the building system
|
|---|
| 377 | will skip the checking for autoconf-2.13 and allow building this
|

| 378 | package without autoconf-2.13 installed.

| 408 | <application>Seamonkey</application>'s options and preferences to suit
|
|---|
| 409 | individual tastes, finer grain control of many options is only available
|
|---|
| 410 | using a tool not available from the general menu system. To access this
|
|---|
| 411 | tool, you'll need to open a browser window and enter
|
|---|
| 412 | <systemitem role="url">about:config</systemitem> in the address bar. This
|
|---|
| 413 | will display a list of the configuration preferences and information
|
|---|
| 414 | related to each one. You can use the <quote>Search:</quote> bar to enter
|
|---|
| 415 | search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a preference
|
|---|
| 416 | can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value
|
|---|
| 417 | (True/False), simply double-click on the preference to toggle the value
|
|---|
| 418 | and two, for other preferences simply right-click on the desired line,
|
|---|
| 419 | choose <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value. Creating
|
|---|
| 420 | new preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose
|
|---|
| 421 | <quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into the
|
|---|
| 422 | fields when prompted.
