I would really like a sticky where the pm4linux maintainer posts the current .mozconfig and further environment details he/she uses to build the official binaries. (mozconfig, dependencies, build dependencies, versions of kernel/gcc/binutils/python/whateverisimportant, optimisation settings and cflags)
I want to replicate the official binaries from source, for my own machines only.

Re: Palemoon Build Instruction Sticky
also, please note that while it's possible to build Pale Moon with gcc other than 4.7, the resulting builds are much less stable. so if you want a smooth experience without occasional crashes, you have to use gcc 4.7.

Re: Palemoon Build Instruction Sticky
Actually in my experience, GCC 4.9 and higher do produce stable builds, provided you use --enable-optimize="-O2" rather than -O3.ketmar wrote:also, please note that while it's possible to build Pale Moon with gcc other than 4.7, the resulting builds are much less stable. so if you want a smooth experience without occasional crashes, you have to use gcc 4.7.

Re: Palemoon Build Instruction Sticky
i've seen occasional crashes with 4.9, both with "-O2" and with "-O3". yet they were random, and i was unable to reprocude that, and didn't want to run PM with gdb forever. so i switched to 4.7, and haven't seen any crash since. so it's better play safe here, i think. ;-)
