This SlackBuild may conflict with the alternative +SlackBuild known, here at SBo, as "palemoon"; which repackages binaries +offically released by the Pale Moon devs. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +To package this version of Pale Moon for installation along side any other +version of Pale Moon, (such as the before mentioned version known here as +"palemoon") pass the script the parameter: + + APPEND_VERSION_SUFFIX=yes + +See http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:software:palemoon for additional tips and +help resources. + +Using the Oxygen theme is known to cause Pale Moon to crash; if you are +experiencing crashes, and segfaults, make sure you are not using this theme; +or use Alienbob's patched oxygen-gtk2; which will fix this issue. +http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/oxygen-gtk2/build/ +See the help doc link above for other creative tips and workarounds. + +It is recommended that Pale Moon be compiled with gcc 4.9.4. Compiling Pale +Moon with any other compiler may result in an unstable build. Look for +gcclegacy494 here on SBo. + +A native fork of FireFox's developer tools exists as an external add-on or +internally. Pale Moon by default ships with the developer tools internally; +if this is undesirable, dev tools can be disabled by passing the script the +parameter: + + DEVTOOLS=no ./palemoon.SlackBuild + +Pale Moon's default is to build, ship, and use its own internal dictionary; +if desired, however, do USE_SYSTEM_HUNSPELL=yes ./palemoon.SlackBuild, to +use the Slackware system Hunspell instead. This assumes you have dictionaries +such as hunspell-en or hunspell-es installed in /usr/share/hunspell -- the +location that a few SlackBuilds at SBo install them. + +To remove the "AdNauseam" extension from the Pale Moon blocklist, do + + ADNAUSEAM=unblock ./palemoon.SlackBuild + +To remove the "NoScript" extension from the Pale Moon blocklist, do + + NOSCRIPT=unblock ./palemoon.SlackBuild + +Note: The most up-to-date version of the NoScript campatible with Pale Moon can +be found here: https://noscript.net/getit#classic + +If your processor doesn't support sse2 instructions or you get segfaults, +try looking in the SlackBuild for the OPTIMIZE build option (eventually +refer to the Pale Moon developers for help). + +To enable debug information, pass the script the parameter + + ENABLE_DEBUG=yes |
