I suggest changing --enable-optimize=-O2 to Code:
--enable-optimize="-O2 -march=i686" Code:
--enable-optimize="$SLKFLAGS" Code:
elif [ "$ARCH" = "i686" ]; then |
Good call, thank you for that, I updated the file.
Thanks Again. |
You should enable jemalloc to for better memory mangement etc. It's default in the Mozilla builds. This is new in Firefox 3.

I would like to know of a way to query the source tree to find all the default configuration options of which there are many. Bill |
>If it is default in the mozilla builds, then my understanding is that it should not be necessary to add it to .mozconfig.
Otherwise it doesn't kill you ;-) I don't know whether it's activated by default so I enabled it myself just to be sure. |
When I built Firefox from source, I encountered this bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409192 Did this happen to anyone else? |
i've used slackware since 9.1, and i have to admit it has never looked this good. thanks! Great Post!!!

Just to update everyone, I changed the slackbuild. It seems if you have read the post "firefox 3.0 + thunderbird = no email links" it turns out the Pat's firefox/thunderbird patch doesn't seem to be needed anymore and in some cases (mine and otheres) it was causing problems, I now have removed the patch from the slackbuild and now my email problem is fixed. So on the safe side I changed the build however you can still download the original slackbuild from here http://webpages.charter.net/daedra/1...SlackBuild.old

To the SlackBuild, I recommend fixing the blank applications menu bug.
The Bugzilla entry: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409192 The patch: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=325195 I added the patch to my SlackBuild and now everything works perfectly. (The crashing problem I mentioned earlier seems to have solved itself). |
So this patch is all you need to fix the application problem? I thought I read that you had to compile a whole bunch of gnome stuff to get that working? Also where did you add the patch, before or after compile?

That so called subpixel rendering of colored pixels makes my eyes water... Its that bad. Blowing cigarette smoke in my face isn't nearly as bad.
I like my fonts with AA but no subpixel rendering. http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/148/fontsfv1.png That's how its done. |

NonAA renderings have their purpose... But not in a browser. Matter of taste I guess. It didn't seem like a biggie back in Win 98 days where I had a choice of nonAA and nonAA. |
