seamonkey-debian-arm64's Introduction

SeaMonkey for Debian/Arm64

Patches and builds for SeaMonkey on Debian (bullseye/unstable) on Arm64.

The license in this repository only applies to my patches! The builds released under the same license(s) Seamonkey uses. Please look at the "LICENSE"-file bundled with the sources of Seamonkey.

Status and versions

Release 2.53.8_2 the same as before but with webrtc enabled
Release 2.53.8 is configured and compiled without webrtc, since the sources doesn't include the Arm64 stuff of modern Firefox (...) that is necessary for a successfull compilation.

Preparations and compiling yourself

To compile Seamonkey yourself with this patches you should carefully read the SeaMonkey Building & Source Code Documentation!
make sure autoconf 2.13 is installed - on Debian: apt install autoconf2.13
Always use the lastest version of rust/cargo, not the version of the official debian repositories!
Create a directory like "~/Development/seamonkey"
In this directory check out https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil or download and untar/unzip a release - i use release-5.8.0
Download and untar the Seamonkey sources, for example 2.53.8
Your directory structure should look like this:

.../seamonkey
.../seamonkey/psutil-release-5.8.0.zip
.../seamonkey/psutil-release-5.8.0/
.../seamonkey/seamonkey-2.53.8.source.tar.xz
.../seamonkey/seamonkey-2.53.8/

Make a link inside the Seamonkey source directory to the psutil sources: ln -s psutil-release-5.8.0 seamonkey-2.53.8/psutil
Create a build directory somewhere inside your build directory like mkdir ~/Development/seamonkey/seamonkey-2.53.8/moz_objdir
Apply the patches from this repository and place the .mozconfig file in your seamonkey source directory targeting the matching Seamonkey release
Edit .mozconfig based on your directory structure; mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR= need to be pointing to the build directory you created above; for me a relative path doesn't work.
Compile the Source with ./mach build
