GTK+1.2 build of FirefoxForum: myDSL Extensions (deprecated) Topic: GTK+1.2 build of Firefox started by: SaidinUnleashed Posted by SaidinUnleashed on Oct. 28 2004,03:54
Just had a bit of an idea.It's possible to build Firefox from source without gtk2.0. Has anyone had any success doing this in DSL? It would make a much lighter .dsl than the current one. And for people who don't use other gtk2.0 apps, it would be even lighter than ke4nt1's factored firefox. More random thoughts from tthe insanity that is J.P.'s Mind™. -J.P.

While there was a "586" version of 0.8 firefox that used gtk1.2,( It is the firefox 0.8 that is downloadable from DSL ) I haven't seen any builds for 0.9.3 or 1.10.1 (1.0PR) that have any 586 capability.. 73 ke4nt Posted by roberts on Oct. 28 2004,06:59
I am currently testing one. Will post once it passes the tests of using flash and java plugins.

Well, I have been using/testing it and seems OK. I have forwarded them to Kent for a second review. I have built both tar.gz and uci versions for firefox and java plugin. Should be RSN.

The new versions of Firefox 0.9 and Java 1.5.0 are posted in the repository.Thanks to Robert for sorting thru all my messes , and making 586 versions of firefox 0.9 and java 1.5.0 that work as both .uci' and .tar.gz's Really nice work.... So, Firefox 0.9 and Java1.5.0 for ALL users of DSL .. enjoy.. This does REALLY cut down on the ram requirements , compared to the FAT Firefox 1.0PR .. firefox.tar.gz > in the "net" section firefox.uci > in the "uci" section java1_5_0.tar.gz in the "system" section java1_5_0 .uci in the "uci" section 73 ke4nt |
