There is a demand for Linux builds of Minotaur, and it deserves to be fulfilled.
So if you have a working build of Minotaur on your Linux distribution, and can host it somewhere, post it here!
After untar the build I'm unable to start Minotaur :
$: /home/franck/bin/minotaur-bin
error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
What am I missing ?
Don't you want to run minotaur instead of minotaur-bin ? That's a script that sets up all the environment variables for you then kicks off minotaur-bin.
I had the same problem, but when I call minotaur up comes Composer!! Exporting the path makes no difference. Any ideas? I looked inside minotaur and could not see any reference to Composer.
Thanks Michel, that was the problem. I had a look in my ~/.mozilla/default/p9irrhad.sit/prefs.js and found this line:
user_pref("general.startup.editor", true);
I changed it to:
user_pref("general.startup.mail", true);
and 'bingo' up came Minotaur. This may be of interest to anyone wanting a standalone Composer.
Incidentally, one of the main reasons for changing from Galeon to Phoenix was to avoid having to have Mozilla. Can Minotaur be run without it? If I uninstall Mozilla completely (program and ~/.mozilla), putting all my plugins directly into Phoenix, will the Minotaur standalone build work?
