myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: GTK+1.2 build of Firefox

Just had a bit of an idea.

It's possible to build Firefox from source without gtk2.0.

Has anyone had any success doing this in DSL? It would make a much lighter .dsl than the current one. And for people who don't use other gtk2.0 apps, it would be even lighter than ke4nt1's factored firefox.

More random thoughts from tthe insanity that is J.P.'s Mind™.

While there was a "586" version of 0.8 firefox that used gtk1.2,
( It is the firefox 0.8 that is downloadable from DSL )

I haven't seen any builds for 0.9.3 or 1.10.1 (1.0PR) that have any
586 capability..

I am currently testing one. Will post once it passes the tests of using flash and java plugins.

ke4nt1, i was talking about compiling it from source. ^_^

roberts, i cant wait to see the result!

Well, I have been using/testing it and seems OK. I have forwarded them to Kent for a second review. I have built both tar.gz and uci versions for firefox and java plugin. Should be RSN.
