I put in mozconfig_annotate '' --disable-pango mozconfig_annotate '' --disable-oji --disable-mathml into the ebuild (a copy in my local overlay) and ebuild-manifested it. Portage said it was building from the overlay, but "about:buildconfig" shows them as being enabled. I have been able to --disable-necko-wifi (WTF is *THAT* in a browser, fercryingoutloud?). Any ideas? A long time ago, in a place far away, I used to build Mozilla 0.9x "the hard way", because the downloadable binary was painfully slow on my machine. And later on Phoenix 0.9x (remember that?). I've forgotten most of what I learned, but I can follow the instructions at https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Simple_Firefox_build I have a couple of questions before proceeding... 1) what do I have to set to force all files to be installed in /opt or in /usr/local ? 2) I've got 8 gigs of ram. How do I force the compiler to use /dev/shm as the scratch directory ? -- Walter Dnes
