phoenix & mozilla coexisting

Post by halfmm »

I'd like to make mozilla & phoenix avaliable on my system. Has anyone else tried to do this? Currently I have a stable mozilla release in one directory and phoenix .5 in another.

Is there away to build phoenix and mozilla side by side?

Thanks,
matthias

i'm not sure what exactly you're asking for, but phoenix uses the mozilla back end, so they are very similiar programs already.

So both are available on your system, I don´t understand your question!

I´m installing both by unzipping the zip-files.
Mozilla creates or overwrites a directory named bin, including files and subdirectories, Phoenix does the same with a directory named Phoenix.
They install profiles in different locations, so there is no collisision if you install both from zip-files.
I´m using both at the same time, even on the same websites.

I heard about a bug that Phoenix used some data from a exe-installed mozilla.

What do you mean with side-by-side ? They are built from the same code.

I guess I should clarify what I mean.

If I have one source tree is there a way for me to build a mozilla & a phoenix with the same mozconfig & one make command?

This isn't really a build question but it is the reason for this post, can phoenix & mozilla use the same MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME? Or share plugin files?

Thanks A Lot,
matthias
