I'm trying to build Pale Moon 28 from source, however, during the configuration phase it fails saying that it can't find gconf 2.0.
I don't have gconf installed, and other GTK2 programs still work fine (including Pale Moon 27).
Does Pale Moon require gconf to be run, or can I disable it?
Is gconf required? Topic is solved

Re: Is gconf required?
Yes you will need the gconf2-devel package installed to compile Pale Moon.
I'm not sure if there is a way to disable it or not. You might poke through the source code and see if there's a disable option.

Re: Is gconf required?
I looked at the configure scripts and the only message I saw regarding disabling gconf was about tests not working, but I didn't really trust that message so I asked.
I think I'll just install gconf at this point, I don't really want to mess too much with the source code.
Thank you.

Re: Is gconf required?
Yes you can disable it. I do a "native build" on my desktop machine. It does not have developer tools, gconf, pulseaudio, etc, so I disable a few options at build time. From my mozconfig ( see my sig ). Note, this is non-standard, so do NOT --enable-official-vendor
Code: Select all
# My customizations
ac_add_options --disable-dbus
ac_add_options --disable-gconf
ac_add_options --disable-gio
ac_add_options --disable-pulseaudio
ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2 -march=native -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables"
There's a right way
