AUTHOR: Eduardo Batalha (admin at edbatalha dot info) DATE: 2016-7-11 LICENSE: GNU Free Documentation License Version 1.2 SYNOPSIS: Build and Install AdBlock-Plus DESCRIPTION: This is a simple hint that will show how to download, build and install the Adblock-Plus extension (version 2.7.3) for the Fiefox and Seamonkey programs. PREREQUISITES: Firefox or Seamonkey (or any other browser able to use these kind of extensions.) HINT: Required dependency Jinja2 (see below first if not already installed.) Download these 4 files and place them all in the same folder: https://hg.adblockplus.org/adblockplus/archive/94e1164f6fa9.tar.bz2 https://hg.adblockplus.org/buildtools/archive/3816c08c0f98.tar.bz2 https://hg.adblockplus.org/adblockpluscore/archive/5d9618f68a0c.tar.bz2 https://hg.adblockplus.org/adblockplusui/archive/eaf7a04285fa.tar.bz2 If you have wget simply run the below mkdir adblockplus-2.7.3 && cd adblockplus-2.7.3 && wget https://hg.adblockplus.org/adblockplus/archive/94e1164f6fa9.tar.bz2 && wget https://hg.adblockplus.org/buildtools/archive/3816c08c0f98.tar.bz2 && wget https://hg.adblockplus.org/adblockpluscore/archive/5d9618f68a0c.tar.bz2 && wget https://hg.adblockplus.org/adblockplusui/archive/eaf7a04285fa.tar.bz2 Now, extract the files to their proper folders tar xf 94e1164f6fa9.tar.bz2 --strip-components=1 && mkdir buildtools && cd buildtools && tar xf ../3816c08c0f98.tar.bz2 --strip-components=1 && cd .. && mkdir adblockpluscore && cd adblockpluscore && tar xf ../5d9618f68a0c.tar.bz2 --strip-components=1 && cd .. && mkdir adblockplusui && cd adblockplusui && tar xf ../eaf7a04285fa.tar.bz2 --strip-components=1 && cd .. Now build the xpi file with ./build.py build There will be a few "failed dependencies" error messages which can be safely ignored. You will now have a adblockplus-2.7.3.0.xpi file in the same folder. Open either Firefox or Seamonkey, go to addons and you can now do "Install from file". The "first run" page will appear where you can configure a few more options. Lastly, remember to disable adblock on the linuxfromsratch.org domain and to click on the adverts from time to time. Note: (untested) If you have either Mercurial or Git installed, it should be possible for you to just download the first file, extract it, cd into the folder and run ./build.py build ---------- Jinja2 Required dependency setuptools (see below first if not already installed.) Get the latest Jinja2 from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Jinja2#downloads The one I got was version 2.8. Extract and cd into it as usual Now run as the root user python setup.py install --prefix=/usr ------------- setuptools Required dependency Python-2.x.x Get the latest setuptools from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#downloads The one I got was version 24.0.2 Extract and cd into it as usual Now run as the root user python setup.py install --prefix=/usr CHANGELOG: 2016-07-11
