We'll still have to go a long way to get that mess cleaned up,
but we should start now.
I couldn't agree more.
I'm still trying to figure out the autogen.sh stuff and make it use the
correct paths for libraries; one of the errors I got is really freaking
me out:
checking for mozilla sources... checking for
a169ab152209200a7bad29a275cb0333-seamonkey-1.1.14.source.tar.gz... will be fetched
checking for MOZLIBREQ... no
configure: error: GTK2 is needed to build mozilla.
configure --help output is also a bit funny:
--disable-mozilla LibO usually includes a strangely hacked up mozilla
binary for your platform, to build without this
version, use this option.
Why would LO need to build it own version of Mozilla/Seamonkey !?
And why such an old version; it must be full of security holes by now...
