What happened to SeaMonkey nightly for Linux?

Post by barbaz »

Does anyone know why the latest SeaMonkey nightly for Linux is over a month old, while the latest Windows and Mac nightlies are only from yesterday? I'd like to help test SeaMonkey nightlies, but the only suitable environment I have runs Ubuntu...

Thanks for the info. Decided to try building my own after applying the patch from bug 987464. :geek:
I had no idea the build process was so long & difficult, but at least I think I got it working in the end.
Now off to find out why some my addons aren't working :?

And now even that doesn't work.

(edit) ^^ Resolved - apparently it's necessary to delete the entire object-directory sometimes and I didn't know that.
