SeaMonkey is a browser suite, the Open Source sibling of Netscape. It includes the browser, composer, mail and news clients, and an IRC client. It is the follow-on to the Mozilla browser suite.
The Mozilla project also hosts two subprojects that aim to satisfy the needs of users who don't need the complete browser suite or prefer to have separate applications for browsing and e-mail. These subprojects are Firefox-61.0.2 and Thunderbird-60.0. Both are based on the Mozilla source code.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-8.3 platform.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/seamonkey
The configuration of SeaMonkey is
accomplished by creating a mozconfig
file containing the desired configuration options. A default
mozconfig
file is created below. To
see the entire list of available configuration options (and an
abbreviated description of each one), issue ./configure --help. You may also
wish to review the entire file and uncomment any other desired
options. Create the file by issuing the following command:
cat > mozconfig << "EOF"
# If you have a multicore machine, all cores will be used by default.
# If desired, you can reduce the number of cores used, e.g. to 1, by
# uncommenting the next line and setting a valid number of CPU cores.
#mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j1"
# If you have installed DBus-Glib comment out this line:
ac_add_options --disable-dbus
# If you have installed dbus-glib, and you have installed (or will install)
# wireless-tools, and you wish to use geolocation web services, comment out
# this line
ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi
# Uncomment these lines if you have installed optional dependencies:
#ac_add_options --enable-system-hunspell
#ac_add_options --enable-startup-notification
# Uncomment the following option if you have not installed PulseAudio
#ac_add_options --disable-pulseaudio
# and uncomment this if you installed alsa-lib instead of PulseAudio
#ac_add_options --enable-alsa
# Comment out following option if you have gconf installed
ac_add_options --disable-gconf
# Comment out following options if you have not installed
# recommended dependencies:
ac_add_options --enable-system-sqlite
ac_add_options --with-system-libevent

If you are compiling SeaMonkey
in chroot, make sure you have the SHELL
environment variable set or prepend
SHELL=/bin/sh
to the first make
command below.
Compile SeaMonkey by running the following commands:
CFLAGS_HOLD=$CFLAGS && CXXFLAGS_HOLD=$CXXFLAGS && EXTRA_FLAGS=" -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -fno-lifetime-dse -fno-schedule-insns2" && export CFLAGS+=$EXTRA_FLAGS && export CXXFLAGS+=$EXTRA_FLAGS && unset EXTRA_FLAGS && make -f client.mk
This package does not come with a test suite.
Install SeaMonkey by issuing the
following commands as the root
user:
make -f client.mk install INSTALL_SDK= && chown -R 0:0 /usr/lib/seamonkey-2.49.4 && cp -v $(find -name seamonkey.1 | head -n1) /usr/share/man/man1
Set the compilation flags back to their original values:
export CFLAGS=$CFLAGS_HOLD && export CXXFLAGS=$CXXFLAGS_HOLD && unset CFLAGS_HOLD CXXFLAGS_HOLD
If you want to install the full SeaMonkey development environment, as the
root
user:
make -C obj* install
The build directory is set by the make procedure and is dependent on the system architecture, but the directory name starts with 'obj'.
export CFLAGS= ... export CXXFLAGS= ...: These settings work around code which gcc6 and later would otherwise regard as out-of-specification and allow it to produce a working program.
make -f client.mk:
Mozilla products are packaged to allow the use of a configuration
file which can be used to pass the configuration settings to the
configure command.
make uses the
client.mk
file to get initial
configuration and setup parameters.
For installing various SeaMonkey plugins, refer to Mozdev's PluginDoc Project.
Along with using the “Preferences” menu to configure SeaMonkey's options and preferences to suit
individual tastes, finer grain control of many options is only
available using a tool not available from the general menu system.
To access this tool, you'll need to open a browser window and enter
about:config
in the address bar.
This will display a list of the configuration preferences and
information related to each one. You can use the
“Filter:” bar to enter
search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a
preference can be done using two methods. One, if the preference
has a boolean value (True/False), simply double-click on the
preference to toggle the value and two, for other preferences
simply right-click on the desired line, choose “Modify” from the menu and change the value.
Creating new preference items is accomplished in the same way,
except choose “New” from the
menu and provide the desired data into the fields when prompted.
There is a multitude of configuration parameters you can tweak to customize SeaMonkey. A very extensive list of these parameters can be found at http://preferential.mozdev.org/preferences.html.
If you use a desktop environment like Gnome or KDE
you may wish to create a seamonkey.desktop
file so that SeaMonkey appears in the panel's menus. If you
didn't enable Startup-Notification
in your mozconfig change the StartupNotify line to false. As the
root
user:
mkdir -pv /usr/share/{applications,pixmaps} && cat > /usr/share/applications/seamonkey.desktop << "EOF" [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Application Name=SeaMonkey Comment=The Mozilla Suite Icon=seamonkey Exec=seamonkey Categories=Network;GTK;Application;Email;Browser;WebBrowser;News; StartupNotify=true Terminal=false EOF ln -sfv /usr/lib/seamonkey-2.49.4/chrome/icons/default/seamonkey.png \ /usr/share/pixmaps
/usr/lib/seamonkey-2.49.4
