update gecko for v1.7
Posted by: jo23
Date: June 06, 2013 09:29AM

the binary i have is using gecko 1.9.2.14pre
however the last release of gecko is 1.9.2.28 of mars2012 meaning better security and stability .
i know we can modify the binary dll but its not the correct way because constant or static lib are sometimes changed . we need recompile the kameleon code and improve the history part

i can make some test (i have VC7pro ) but i don't find source: at source forge
there is code with 1.6.0 in the rc
where is the code for 1.6b2.5 1.7 1.7a2 ?

thanks

A really great help would be if you could produce that newer gecko engine. This link might help: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Build_Documentation

I do not do C++ myself, so I can only hope this is relevant.

As for K-Meleon, maybe this will provide some answers.

The code for KM 1.6.0 should be in SourceForge. Perhaps you can get there from something on this page. http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/KMeleonCVS

Better use the page. http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/BuildKMeleonDistribution

Section: http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/BuildKMeleonDistribution#line73

You need to build the libs that are used to build K-Meleon even if You only want to recompile the history plugin. And the links guides You until where You have the libs.

You will definitely need to use the files here: http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/?binary=internal%3A%2F%2Fb344e232045d36af17c7cf66826ecbde.zip

They IMHO contain Dorian's patches for the Mozilla code for 1.6 and later.

You have to work with the later Mozilla souce that is for K-Meleon 1.7 not the ones mentioned in the link.

p.s. AFAIK there used to be latest 1.7 GRE around by deadlock some time ago and possibly one by me.
