SeaMonkey 2.53.22 compiled in woofQ2

November 05, 2025 — BarryK

woofQ2 is intended to be a "one stop shop" for building EasyOS. Apart from packages available in the Devuan repository, all others will be compiled within woofQ2.

I have now added SeaMonkey browser suite. It is quite complicated to compile, so good that it is now formalized in woofQ2. The 'source' folder now has 'seamonkey':

Looking inside 'seamonkey' are scripts that need to be run in sequence:

...I will probably create a single script later, that runs all of them.

The end result is 'seamonkey-2.53.22-excalibur.pet', and the intention is that the compile will work for later versions also; but, it can be tricky, and reference may need to be made to the LFS guys who sort it out:

The woofQ2 project is online here (see the readme file for instructions):

Thinking toward the next release, might compile the latest 6.12.x Linux kernel tonight.
