%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ SeaMonkey SeaMonkey is a browser suite, the Open Source sibling of Netscape. It includes the browser, composer, mail and news clients, and an IRC client. It is the follow-on to the Mozilla browser suite. The Mozilla project also hosts two subprojects that aim to satisfy the needs of users who don't need the complete browser suite or prefer to have separate applications for browsing and e-mail. These subprojects are and . Both are based on the Mozilla source code. &lfs72_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &seamonkey-md5sum; Download size: &seamonkey-size; Estimated disk space required: &seamonkey-buildsize; Estimated build time: &seamonkey-time; SeaMonkey Dependencies Required , , and .

A default mozconfig file is created below. To see the entire list of available configuration options (and an abbreviated description of each one), issue ./configure --help. You may also wish to review the entire file and uncomment any other desired options. Create the file by issuing the following command: cat > mozconfig << EOF # If you have a multicore machine you can speed up the build by running # several jobs at once, but if you have a single core, delete this line: mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)" # If you have installed Yasm delete this option: ac_add_options --disable-webm # If you have installed DBus-Glib delete this option: ac_add_options --disable-dbus # If you have installed wireless-tools delete this option: ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi # If you have installed libnotify delete this option: ac_add_options --disable-libnotify # Uncomment these if you have installed them: # ac_add_options --enable-startup-notification # ac_add_options --enable-system-hunspell # ac_add_options --enable-system-sqlite # ac_add_options --with-system-libevent # ac_add_options --with-system-libvpx # ac_add_options --with-system-nspr # ac_add_options --with-system-nss mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/moz-build-dir ac_add_options --disable-crashreporter ac_add_options --disable-debug ac_add_options --disable-debug-symbols ac_add_options --disable-installer ac_add_options --disable-static ac_add_options --disable-tests ac_add_options --disable-updater ac_add_options --enable-application=suite ac_add_options --enable-shared ac_add_options --enable-system-ffi ac_add_options --prefix=/usr ac_add_options --with-pthreads ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg ac_add_options --with-system-png ac_add_options --with-system-zlib EOF Compile SeaMonkey by running the following command: make -f client.mk && make -C moz-build-dir/suite/installer This package does not come with a test suite. However, if X is running it can be launched from the build directory before installing with the command line: moz-build-dir/mozilla/dist/seamonkey/seamonkey Install SeaMonkey by issuing the following commands as the root user: rm -rf /usr/lib/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version; && mkdir -pv /usr/lib/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version; && tar -xf moz-build-dir/mozilla/dist/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version;.en-US.linux-$(uname -m).tar.bz2 \ -C /usr/lib/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version; --strip-components=1 && ln -sfv ../lib/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version;/seamonkey /usr/bin && mkdir -pv /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins && ln -sfv ../mozilla/plugins /usr/lib/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version; && cp -v moz-build-dir/mozilla/dist/man/man1/seamonkey.1 /usr/share/man/man1 NPAPI Headers The above instructions just install the parts you need to run SeaMonkey. If you want to compile , the open source version of Flash, copy some headers that Gnash needs into /usr/include, as the root user: rm -rf /usr/include/npapi && mkdir -v /usr/include/npapi && cp -v mozilla/dom/plugins/base/*.h /usr/include/npapi All the Development Libraries and Headers If you want to install the full SeaMonkey development environment, as the root user: make -C moz-build-dir install make -f client.mk: Mozilla products are packaged to allow the use of a configuration file which can be used to pass the configuration settings to the configure command. make uses the client.mk file to get initial configuration and setup parameters. make -C moz-build-dir/suite/installer: this creates a tarball of the finished SeaMonkey. tar xf moz-build-dir/mozilla/dist/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version;.en-US.linux-$(uname -m).tar.bz2 -C /usr/lib/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version; --strip-components=1: this untars SeaMonkey into /usr/lib/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version;. ln -s ../mozilla/plugins /usr/lib/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version;: this creates a symlink to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for the sake of compatibility, to keep all your plugins in the place mozilla plugins are normally found. If you deleted the --disable-webm option from your mozconfig, your SeaMonkey can play most youtube videos without the need for the flash plugin. To enable this, go to and click on 'Join the HTML5 Trial' (needs cookies enabled). For installing various SeaMonkey plugins, refer to Mozdev's PluginDoc Project. Along with using the Preferences menu to configure SeaMonkey's options and preferences to suit individual tastes, finer grain control of many options is only available using a tool not available from the general menu system. To access this tool, you'll need to open a browser window and enter about:config in the address bar. This will display a list of the configuration preferences and information related to each one. You can use the Filter: bar to enter search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a preference can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value (True/False), simply double-click on the preference to toggle the value and two, for other preferences simply right-click on the desired line, choose Modify from the menu and change the value. Creating new preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose New from the menu and provide the desired data into the fields when prompted. There is a multitude of configuration parameters you can tweak to customize SeaMonkey. A very extensive list of these parameters can be found at . If you use a desktop environment like Gnome or KDE you may wish to create a seamonkey.desktop file so that SeaMonkey appears in the panel's menus. If you didn't enable Startup-Notification in your mozconfig change the StartupNotify line to false.
