I am running Absolute Linux, which does not include a Thunderbird binary in its repo.
I downloaded the source of 45.6.0 from a Slackware repo and set about compiling it.
Configure went OK
Make though went on for many hours, Unfortunately there was a power interruption.
It was unclear the following morning if it had completed.
I ran make install anyway. There were no error messages but I cannot find an executable.
I ran make again. This time it was fairly quick.
I again ran make install with same result.
The build directory was where it was downloaded: /home/myuser/thunderbird-4.6.0.source.
Can you tell me what I have missed?

Re: Compiling Problem. [Linux.]
Is there a mozconfig file in the source folder that contains this line?
If not, it will build Firefox instead.
Code: Select all
ac_add_options --enable-application=mail

I created a new directory from which to decompress the file, did so and then created mozconfig as suggested.
I ran configure, make and make install but could not find an executable file despite a system wide search.
