Slackware 12.2 - and the newest Firefox
Hello.
I would like to upgrade to the newest firefox. It is 3.6.somewhat.
My official Slackware (12.2 - 2.6.27.7-smp) upgrade supported the latest version , which was 3.0.19. Via GUI i could update this, and i did it.
So, now , I installed a new kernel (2.6.35-stable, and modules ).
I saw, that I can download the firefox paket from their page, and I did this already some months ago, whith the experience, that this package is some kind of portable executable, means, just unpack it, and run it. It seems, as i do not need to install it ( what interferes in some kind with plugin directories , flashplayer for example. )
But, I would like to build it again, using their old config as mine ( via make oldconfig) and then converting it all to an tgz.
My question now is : will this work ? because, I updated my kernel, and went to 2.6.35 but not my glibc, my kernelheaders nor my gcc.
Will I still be able to compile this new ff from source and .tgz it ?
THX in advance.
Greetings
