palemoon (Web browser -- BUILD FROM SOURCE)
This SlackBuild builds Pale Moon from source.
For a binary repackage, see 'palemoon-bin' at SlackBuilds.org.
Pale Moon is an Open Source, Goanna-based web browser available for
Microsoft Windows and Linux (with other operating systems in
development), focusing on efficiency and ease of use.
This SlackBuild attempts to compile, build and package Pale Moon,
Slackware style, in a manner that conforms to official Pale Moon Linux
releases; while, at the same time, providing useful and easy ways to
deviate if desired. This SlackBuild may conflict with the alternative
SlackBuild known, here at SBo, as "palemoon-bin"; which repackages
binaries offically released by the Pale Moon devs.

See http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:software:palemoon for additional
tips and help resources.
Using the Oxygen theme is known to cause Pale Moon to crash; if you
are experiencing crashes, and segfaults, make sure you are not using
this theme; or use Alienbob's patched oxygen-gtk2; which will fix this
issue. http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/oxygen-gtk2/build/
See the help doc link above for other creative tips and workarounds.
A native fork of FireFox's developer tools exists as an external
add-on or internally. Pale Moon by default ships with the developer
tools internally; if this is undesirable, dev tools can be disabled by
passing the script the parameter:
DEVTOOLS=no ./palemoon.SlackBuild
Pale Moon's default is to build, ship, and use its own internal
dictionary; if desired, however, do USE_SYSTEM_HUNSPELL=yes
./palemoon.SlackBuild, to use the Slackware system Hunspell
instead. This assumes you have dictionaries such as hunspell-en or
hunspell-es installed in /usr/share/hunspell -- the location that a
few SlackBuilds at SBo install them.
To remove the "AdNauseam" extension from the Pale Moon blocklist, do
ADNAUSEAM=unblock ./palemoon.SlackBuild
If your processor doesn't support sse2 instructions or you get
segfaults, try looking in the SlackBuild for the OPTIMIZE build option
(eventually refer to the Pale Moon developers for help).
jack-audio-connection-kit is an optional dependency and, if detected,
automatically built. If this is undesirable you can blacklist jack, by
passing the variable:
BLACKLIST_JACK=yes ./palemoon.SlackBuild
To enable debug information, pass the script the parameter
ENABLE_DEBUG=yes
