I did read here that SM 2.0 will supposedly work on Win 7
as a 32bit application. But I am asking specifically,
about any version built for 64 bits on a cpu like the
Intel core i7 920. Because that's what I'm hoping to
upgrade to.
As a secondary question, How about any 64 bit Linux
distributions?
Revisiting this... regarding the lack of 64bit build on linux.
mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey is added, but follow-ups set to
mozilla.support.seamonkey as I think it's time that the issue be
debated/discussed.
Why is it that the 'nightly' builds of SeaMonkey generally include a
64bit build, but the final releases do not?
Examples:
<http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-central-trunk/>
[seamonkey-2.1a1pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2]
<http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.1/>
[seamonkey-2.0.2pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 04-Jan-2010 02:13 14M]
[seamonkey-2.0.3pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 09-Jan-2010 00:53 14M]
Yet:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/
<http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.0.1/linux-i686/en-US/>
only offers this:
seamonkey-2.0.1.tar.bz2 06-Dec-2009 11:22 13M
In the past the devs (Kairo primarily) have mumbled statements to the
effect that 64bit SeaMonkey releases aren't available and require
contributor builds. Why is this, they are available in the nightlies etc?
Here's a key example of why such builds are necessary; I load up a new
64bit laptop with linux. I load the standard seamonkey-2.0.1.tar.bz2 and
no, *zero*, *none* plugins are available on the system. However, if I
load the seamonkey-2.0.3pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 on the exact same
system without making any changes to the ~/.mozilla folder, most of the
plugins fire right up - including a 32bit flash plugin that works in
Firefox. 64bit flash& java issues are for another post.
So here is the question for the devs& primarily for Kairo: why is it
that the 64bit linux builds are *always* available in the nightlies, but
never on the final releases?
What gives you the idea that 64 bit files are not available as normal
releases:-
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US;
rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091206 SeaMonkey/2.0.1
Note the x86_64.....now don't ask me where I got it from, a quick look
at the SeaMonkey page does not give a specific 64 bit download....Was it
in KaiRo's post announcing the Release of SM 2.0.0 then upgraded to SM
2.0.1??
