18 The information below is for the Enigmail and IPC downloads. Additionally,
19 a makemake file is download because we cannot build Enigmail using an
20 object directory without it. Informaiton about the Enigmail source to
21 check for updates is located at http://enigmail.mozdev.org/source.html.
22
23 The link to the makemake file is near the end of the page in the section
24 titled "Using OBJDIR when building Enigmail". Ensure you check the rev
25 level of the link and update the "enigmail-makemake-version" entitity
26 if necessary. In case you are wondering why the version has the question
27 mark and "rev=" in it, it is because the complete URL is used in a command
28 and it would extend past the 71 characters that PDF render is limited to.
29 It should make sense after you see it rendered in the wget command.

458 <para>Information about some of the additional options which can be added
459 to the <filename>.mozconfig</filename> configuration file is shown below.
460 Note that this is just a few of the options. You may wish to run
461 <command>./configure --help</command> and review each of the listed options
462 to discover what affect they have on the build. Feel free to add or remove
463 options to tailor the build to your desires. Listed below are some common
464 options not in the default <filename>.mozconfig</filename> file but can be
465 added in order to have the described effect on the Mozilla compile.</para>
466
467 <para><option>ac_add_options --enable-elf-dynstr-gc</option>: Removes
468 un-referenced strings from ELF shared objects generated during the build.
469 Note that this option breaks the build on alpha.</para>
470
471 <para><option>ac_add_options --disable-mailnews</option>: Disables the mail
472 and news clients.</para>
473
474 <para><option>ac_add_options --disable-ldap</option>: Disables LDAP support,

494 <para><parameter>mk_add_options
495 MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/../mozilla-build</parameter>: Creates an object

546 and how the package is built. These two exports specify a distribution is
547 being built.</para>
548
549 <para><command>make -f client.mk ...</command>: Mozilla products are
550 packaged to allow the use of a configuration file which can be used to
551 pass the configuration settings to the <command>configure</command>
552 command. <command>make</command> uses the <filename>client.mk</filename>
553 file to get initial configuration and setup parameters, then depending on
554 the target parameter (<parameter>build</parameter> or
555 <parameter>install</parameter>), either runs the
556 <command>configure</command> script and compiles the package or installs
557 the package.</para>
558
559 <para><command>./makemake -r</command>: This command is used to recursively
560 create <filename>Makefile</filename>s in the current directory.</para>

572 applications may have already installed <application>Mozilla</application>
573 plugins. This set of commands moves any existing plugins to the newly
574 created plugin directory, then removes the existing
575 <filename class='directory'>/usr/lib/mozilla</filename> directory.</para>
576
577 <para><command>ln -nsf mozilla-&mozilla-version; ...</command>:
578 <application>Mozilla</application> installs headers and libraries in
579 version specific directories. These commands makes symbolic links so that
580 applications depending on <application>Mozilla</application> (such as
581 <application>OpenOffice</application>, <application>Galeon</application>,
582 etc.) don't need to know which version of <application>Mozilla</application>

590 <para>No specific configuration is required as long as the
591 <command>mozilla</command> script is in the user's path. If
592 <application>Mozilla</application> is installed in a non-standard location,
593 then make a symlink to the <command>mozilla</command> script in the

596 <para>Many applications look for <command>netscape</command> when they need

602 <para>For installing various <application>Mozilla</application> plugins,
603 refer to <ulink url="http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html">Mozdev's

612 <para>Along with using the <quote>Preferences</quote> menu to configure
613 <application>Mozilla</application>'s options and preferences to suit
614 individual tastes, finer grain control of many options is only available
615 using a tool not available from the general menu system. To access this
616 tool, you'll need to open a Navigator window and enter
617 <systemitem role='url'>about:config</systemitem> in the
618 address bar. This will display a list of the configuration preferences and
619 information related to each one. You can use the <quote>Filter:</quote> bar
620 to enter search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a
621 preference can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a
622 boolean value (True/False), simply double-click on the preference to toggle
623 the value and two, for other preferences simply right-click on the desired
624 line, choose <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value.
625 Creating new preference items is accomplished in the same way, except
626 choose <quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into
627 the fields when prompted.</para>
628
629 <tip>
630 <para>There is a multitude of configuration parameters you can tweak to
631 customize <application>Mozilla</application>. A very extensive and
632 up-to-date list of these parameters can be found at <ulink
