Wow. Didn't know Seamonkey project was resurected. Haven't compiled Seamonkey in years, Try commenting out the entire tgkill function starting at line line number 109 in

/home/job/Software/seamonkey/seamonkey-2.53.3/mozilla/toolkit/crashreporter/breakpad-client/linux/handler/exception_handler.cc

and re-compile.

In other words, comment out every line starting at line 109 until you find a } and comment out that line as well.

Seamonkey 2.53.3 fails to compile

So I was trying to compile ALSA support for Seamonkey, and after like 4 hours of compiling I was greeted with this error:

I'm sure I had installed all the required dependencies (otherwise I wouldn't have been able to use the configure script in the first place), so I have no idea what causes this error. I disabled PulseAudio and enabled ALSA at the first build, which resulted in this error. Then I removed the --disable-pulseaudio from my mozconfig and only left --enable-alsa, and the same error happens. 8 hours of compiling wasted...
