[SOLVED]Quesion about building Palemoon browser from source
Posted: 2017-08-08 17:07
One for stevepusser although anyone else is welcome to comment!
I'm posting this in offtopic because Palemoon's not in Debian's main repository though it'd be nice if it were.
I wish to get rid of Pulseaudio in stretch because I use OSS4 for sound but I've had to configure pulseaudio to use OSS4 otherwise there's no sound in Firefox as I mentioned here, which is a bit of a show-stopper. Firefox, it seems is now pulseaudio-only but I see in the releasenotes-archived for Palemoon version 25.4.0 (2015-05-08):
By the way, I've installed your palemoon package but it needs pulseaudio too. Thank for reading.

I wonder if this holds good for recent versions? If Pulseaudio's the default in palemoon then, after debianizing the source, I suppose debian/rules could be edited to:• Linux: Added OSS support (mutually exclusive with ALSA): configure with --enable-oss
Code: Select all
override_dh_auto_configure:
dh_auto_configure -- --disable-pulseaudio --enable-oss
