Hi,
For both seamonkey and thunderbird, system cairo is currently
disabled. But it
seems recent versions of firefox can handle system cairo. So I'd like to
enable system cairo also for new seamonkey (based on firefox 52) and
thunderbird. But how can I make sure that it works? Pointer to the
mailing
list maybe, or direct advice. Thanks for your answers.
IIRC, we disabled cairo to be consistent with firefox. I do not recall
the problematic pages, but I think it may have been menu appearance on
all pages.
Looking at my logs, the last time I enabled cairo in SM was
seamonkey-2.35. I didn't build every version, but it was disabled in
seamonkey-2.38.
You might want to look at the optimize setting also. Do we still need -O2?
Also, with only required and recommended dependencies (that is only
alsa and
no pulseaudio) of seamonkey, I can see html5 video (youtube), but I
get no
sound, although "speaker-test" and "aplay
/usr/share/sounds/Front_Left.wav"
both run OK. Maybe the config file is missing --enable-alsa... But
maybe we
should switch to require pulseaudio, as on the firefox page. Thoughts?
I had pulse disabled in seamonkey-2.40, but enabled after that. There
definately is an option --enable-alsa in SM, so you might want to try that.
I added --enable-alsa, and I got sound. I think I'll try pulseaudio now.
Large parts of the seamonkey code are based upon firefox-52.0.4-ESR, and
Firefox upstream recommend pulseaudio.
As of -O2, our firefox config file has it too, and says optimizing for
size is broken in gcc 7, whatever that means... BTW, I have removed the
extra CFLAGS, they seem to not be needed anymore.
I haven't seen any crash yet, so I think system cairo is OK.
