Mozilla Builds for Older Linux Distributions

Sunday October 12th, 2003

By Joerg Rieger

Someone else proposed the idea of building Mozilla releases specially for "older" Linux distributions.

I have installed such a build system and I'm building Mozilla releases for the following distributions (default installation with recommended security updates by vendor):

• Red Hat Linux 7.1
• Red Hat Linux 7.2
• Red Hat Linux 7.3

• SuSE Linux 7.3
• SuSE Linux 8.0

Since my resources are limited I can not make nightly builds for these systems; I doubt that it would make much sense either.

All these builds are made with the following options:

MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1
BUILD_OFFICIAL=1

ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2"
ac_add_options --without-system-nspr
ac_add_options --without-system-zlib
ac_add_options --without-system-jpeg
ac_add_options --without-system-png
ac_add_options --without-system-mng
ac_add_options --enable-crypto

All the above builds and MD5SUMs can be obtained from: http://homepages.fh-giessen.de/lumrix/mozilla/.
