I've found that libcanberra.so.0 is hardcoded in widget/gtk/nsSound.cpp:

    if (!libcanberra) {
        libcanberra = PR_LoadLibrary("libcanberra.so.0");
        if (libcanberra) {

Could you make a compile or runtime option for disable this? I don't want libcanberra at all.

It will attempt to load it at runtime, but won't use it if not found. So it's a "use it if present" kind of deal. Why do you want to prevent even the attempt at using it?

I don't wanna waste resources, e.g. file descriptors, memory, hdd. I'm building a very low resources machine, every megabyte worth.
I'm using my own compiled version for months, it's just a question if there is a chance to save time for me with not patching before every compiling.
Deleting libcanberra.so.0 is not an option, because i use sw when it has a useful function. (claws-mail)

Um.. the lib is, what.. 10KB, if that? I doubt you're going to save much by not loading it...

If you're compiling Pale Moon for yourself, what's to keep you from commenting out or deleting the offending code and testing the build?

70k + ~200k with vorbis libraries.

Code: Select all

$ lddtree  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcanberra.so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcanberra.so (75,796) (interpreter => none)
    libvorbisfile.so.3 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvorbisfile.so.3 (38,492)
        libvorbis.so.0 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvorbis.so.0 (173,800)

By the way --disable-xinerama option exists, which library is really 10kb. (9,668)
Ok, forget it, i can live with patching.

Speaking of options, you can do 2 levels of searching for them. First are the documented options. On my system "pmsrc" is the source directory. This script cycles through all the "configure" files, and executes each one with the "--help" option. Look for "Optional Features:" sections for the "goodies"...

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
rm -rf pmoptions.txt
for configfile in `find pmsrc -name configure`
do
   echo "=====================================" >> pmoptions.txt
   echo "From file ${configfile}" >> pmoptions.txt
   echo >> pmoptions.txt
   ${configfile} --help >> pmoptions.txt
done

To get a listing of every last possible option (Look Ma, no documentation!) I run...

Code: Select all

grep -rn -- "--enable\|--disable\|--with" pmsrc/ > options.txt

which generates a lot of output. I disable the following items on the personal builds I run at home. Some of these items are probably redundant. I wish there was a master listing somewhere of the defaults

Code: Select all

ac_add_options --disable-accessibility
ac_add_options --disable-b2g
ac_add_options --disable-dbus
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-gamepad
ac_add_options --disable-gconf

ac_add_options --disable-safe-browsing
ac_add_options --disable-telemetry
ac_add_options --disable-updater
ac_add_options --disable-url-classifier
ac_add_options --disable-webspeech

And stuff that I explicitly enable...
