Hiya,
A short question about Galeon. I notice that its possible to have mozilla and firefox flagas set when compiling. Are these flags mutually exclusive?
Essnetially I would be grateful if someone could explain whether it is possible to
| Code: |
emerge -C mozilla
emerge galeon
|
if I set the following in /etc/portage/package.use
| Code: |
## Galeon
www-client/galeon firefox
## Firefox
www-client/mozilla-firefox java xprint
|
will galeon then use firefox as its 'engine' or will it still require mozilla?
I would just go ahead and try it, but mozilla takes sometime to compile hence the desire to avoid recompiling if it will be required.
Cheers,
slack |

Yes, you can compile galeon without mozilla by setting USE="firefox".
If you clobber mozilla you might want to set USE="-mozilla" to stop other things trying to use it.

Check the ebuild: /usr/portage/www-client/galeon/galeon-2.0.1.ebuild
| Code: | use firefox && myconf="--with-mozilla=firefox"
use firefox || myconf="--with-mozilla=mozilla" |
So, it would appear that mozilla is required if firefox is not specified. And, galeon does not have a mozilla USE flag (although other packages do). |
