#8410 — [FreeBSD 15.0] Successfull build

From	JKB <JKB@hilbert.invalid>
Date	2026-01-15 10:23 +0000
Subject	[FreeBSD 15.0] Successfull build
Message-ID	<slrn10mhg0g.6n3.JKB@hilbert.systella.fr>

	Hello,

	Just a message to say that SM 2.53.23 can be built on FreeBSD 15.0
	with following .mozconfig file:

export CC=clang15
export CXX=clang++15
ac_add_options --enable-application=comm/suite
ac_add_options --enable-calendar
ac_add_options --enable-irc
ac_add_options --enable-dominspector
ac_add_options --enable-optimize
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-rust-simd

	mach has to use system python (mach bootstrap returns python
	errors).

	With same .mozconfig, I was unable to build SM 2.53.22 on FreeBSD
	14.x or 15.0.

	Regards,

	JKB

How about 13.5-RELEASE?

I know it's approaching EOL but I've been without a working Seamonkey
for far too long now and want to get a functional install somehow.

Sorry. Why have you "been without a working SeaMonkey for far too long 
now", Louis??

Don't you check out https://www.seamonkey-project.org/ .... or do those 
Versions not work on your system??

Second one, I guess. This is about building for and running on a BSD
system, in this case FreeBSD.

what source/build-kit did you download, to compile, and run on FreeBSD ?

https://archive.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.53.23/source/seamonkey-2.53.23.source.tar.xz

I'm not aware of additional requirements, I didn't need to get anything
else. The .mozconfig was:

ac_add_options --enable-application=comm/suite
ac_add_options --disable-dbus
ac_add_options --disable-webrtc
ac_add_options --disable-debug-symbols
ac_add_options --disable-rust-simd

I have now moved from FBSD 13.5 to 14.4.

I have had great problems building Rust lately.

What is the exact install process you used once you downloaded?

I used the one from packages. The latest one, which is why I disabled
the rust SIMD.

> What is the exact install process you used once you downloaded?

- untar
- create .mozconfig
- ./mach build install

And that's it.

mach not make?
"mach" is something formed from the untar?
Is there a particular directory to download into?

Just looking at old .mozconfig files on my machine.

I have downloaded the source.tar.xz file into a seamonkey253 directory
but what is the exact tar -x suboption?

Created a sub on my home directory though I'd like the program
to be in available path for all accounts.

tar xf source.tar.xz
But if that's not related to Seamonkey.

Ask root to create one somwhere else and put it in your .mozconfig, for
example:
ac_add_options --prefix=/usr/local/seamonkey-2.53.23

But if that's what's stopping you, you might want to reconsider using
thunderbird + firefox, they come as packages in FreeBSD.

Just trying to get the exact sequence down.

The guy who usually does tech stuff for me was making 
installing Seamonkey sound impossible as a long term
excuse for not doing it.
 
I miss its being a port/package.

I use Firefox as it is but I want my Seamonkey back.

Why make things so complicated?  I don't need no steenkin'
installer - I just download the release, unzip it into
/opt/seamonkey, and the update is complete.  I have an
icon that points to it, but that doesn't change after
an update.  Easy-peasy.

Seamonkey is my default browsesr; unfortunately I have to
fall back to Firefox more and more, as much as I dislike
its user interface.

There is no binary release for BSD systems.

Can FreeBSD run binaries built for GNU/Linux systems, and with decent
enough compatibility and performance?
