Recent Seamonkey update breaking Liferea
barnabyh
Liferea is a feed reader with a few features which aggregating them in
Thunderbird or other non-specialized readers does not give you. However
the recent update to Seamonkey 2 broke it due to Liferea 1.4.20 as on
SlackBuilds.org using libgtkmozembed which is not any longer present in
SM2 (announced here:
http://www.slackware.com/changelog/current.php?cpu=i386 )
The last version of Liferea that still works with gtk 2.14 as in
Slackware 13 but does not require Seamonkey or rather libgtkmozembed to
build is 1.5.14 (unstable). In 1.5.x the developers made the switch to
webkit, build script available from SlackBuilds. You then need to edit
the build script for Liferea to remove the line where it says "without
webkit" in section
CFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \
./configure
...
Newer versions will require you to upgrade to gtk 2.16.
Posting this may save somebody a few minutes.
Thanks,
