The configuration of Firefox is very similar to Mozilla-1.7.5 and hence the options are not discussed. Refer to the Mozilla-1.7.5 instructions for explanations and additional configuration information.
Compile and install Firefox by running the following commands:
export MOZILLA_OFFICIAL="1" &&
export BUILD_OFFICIAL="1" &&
export MOZ_PHOENIX="1" &&
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--with-default-mozilla-five-home=/usr/lib/firefox-1.0 \
--with-user-appdir=.firefox \
--with-system-zlib \
--with-system-png \
--enable-application=browser \
--enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 \
--enable-extensions=all,-typeaheadfind \
--enable-crypto \
--enable-xft \
--enable-xinerama \
--enable-optimize \
--enable-reorder \
--enable-strip \
--enable-cpp-rtti \
--enable-single-profile \
--disable-freetype2 \
--disable-accessibility \
--disable-debug \
--disable-tests \
--disable-logging \
--disable-pedantic \
--disable-installer \
--disable-mailnews \
--disable-ldap \
--disable-composer \
--disable-profilesharing &&
make
You should add the --with-system-jpeg switch to the configure script if you have libjpeg installed.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
install -d /usr/include/firefox-1.0/nss &&
cp -Lf dist/private/nss/*.h dist/public/nss/*.h \
/usr/include/firefox-1.0/nss
To enable multi-user operation, execute the following as the root user:
cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.0 &&
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PWD" &&
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="$PWD" &&
./regxpcom &&
./regchrome &&
touch `find . -name *.rdf`
You should run /usr/bin/firefox once as the root user (or any user with write privileges) to create some necessary additional files in the /usr hierarchy.
