Install icecat 3.0.5-g1

[obl]

Hey guys. Downloaded the tar.bz2 but have no idea how to install it. Any ideas?

[Partyboi2]

Open a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and install build-essential package

sudo apt-get install build-essential Then use the cd command to change to the location where you have downloaded the icecat-3.0.5-g1.tar.bz2 file. So for example if its on your Desktop

cd ~/DesktopThen extract it

tar xvjf icecat-3.0.5-g1.tar.bz2 Once extracted enter the newly created directory

cd icecat-3.0.5-g1 Then type

./configure If that finishes with no errors on does not complain about missing packages you can then build it by typing

make If make finishes without error then you can proceed to install

sudo make installEdit: If you don't mind a older version of icecat (2.0) you can add

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main to your sources.list in Software Sources (System>Admin>Software Sources>3rd Party) then install with

sudo apt-get install iceweaselIf you install 2.0 I would suggest removing or disabling the deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian repo afterwards.


Edit: The debian repo now has version 3.06

What do you do if ./configure shows missing packages? Where do you get them and how can I continue?

[Partyboi2]

You can search through Synaptic (System>Admin>Synaptic Package Manager) for the packages required and install them. What ever package is listed as needed to compile the program you will need to install the development package (dev)
If you are not sure what package you need to install then post a list of the missing packages.

Hey there. I'm having trouble with this as well. I've been trying to figure out how to acquire the dependencies, but I'm not having any luck. Here's what I'm missing:

Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Package gtk+-unix-print-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Package gdk-x11-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Package gobject-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.10.0 gtk+-unix-print-2.0 gdk-x11-2.0 glib-2.0 gobject-2.0)

[agonx]

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
this may work
If you still get errors
you may need


sudo apt-get install libdbus-glib-1-dev
sudo apt-get install libidl-dev

[nico_forgot]

i've gotten everything done up to configuring. that all went well. i entered the make command and it ended with a lot of error notices:

ErrorUtils.cpp:273: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘*’ token

make[5]: *** [ErrorUtils.o] Error 1

how do i fix these errors before proceeding to make install (or checkinstall)? cheers - nico

configure: error: Could not compile basic X program.

what is wrong? how can i fix it and create the make?
i already install libgtk2.0-dev, libdbus-glib-1-dev and libidl-dev.
TNX for any help.

[Partyboi2]

Have you tried adding the 3rd party repo that I posted and tried installing 3.0.6 instead of 3.0.5?

[nico_forgot]

i thought that the repo you posted was for iceweasel (i know it's icecat's predecessor) 2.0. i tried it with the hopes that my update manager would bring up to speed but when i i attempted an install in the terminal i was told the package is obsolete.
i'm still trying to deal with the error messages that i got in the make process. missing packages i can fix. error messages like the ones i got are beyond me. thanks. cheers - nico

[aztecaribe]

as nico said partyboi2, the support on synaptic is for iceweasel not for ice cat.

in my case was a type mistake im installing icecat 3.0.6.

what this error mean?

configure: error: Could not compile basic X program.

how do i fix this? wich library is missing? there are no .dev of icecat. only the .tar.bz2 here the link (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/)

again tnx 4 any help

My mistake, I thought icecat was just a name change for iceweasel. When I ran into that error, I looked at the config log and found that I needed to install libxt-dev

[aztecaribe]

ok, finally the configure end without error, just with a warning

configure: warning: Recreating autoconf.mk with updated nspr-config output

then i run the make, it take a lot of time (aprox 20 min) and i got this errors

Whats the difference between Icecat and Firefox?

[aztecaribe]

Whats the difference between Icecat and Firefox?

IceCat is the GNU version of the Firefox browser. Its main advantage is an ethical one: it is entirely free software. While the source code from the Mozilla project is free software, the binaries that they release include additional non-free software. Also, they distribute and recommend non-free software as plug-ins.

In addition, GNU IceCat includes some privacy protection features, included in a separate addon:

1. Some sites refer to zero-size images on other hosts to keep track of cookies. When IceCat detects this mechanism it blocks cookies from the site hosting the zero-length image file. (It is possible to re-enable such a site by removing it from the blocked hosts list.)
2. Other sites rewrite the host name in links redirecting the user to another site, mainly to "spy" on clicks. When this behavior is detected, IceCat shows a message alerting the user.

Please, anyone can helpme with my Icecat errors?
