This SlackBuild may conflict with the alternative +SlackBuild known, here at SBo, as "palemoon-bin"; which repackages +binaries offically released by the Pale Moon devs. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +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. + +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 + +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). + +jack-audio-connection-kit is an optional dependency and, if detected, +automatically built. If this is undesirable you can blacklist jack, by +passing the variable: + + BLACKLIST_JACK=yes ./palemoon.SlackBuild + +To enable debug information, pass the script the parameter + + ENABLE_DEBUG=yes |
