SeaLion - A web browser for 32-bit PowerPC Linux (Void / Debian 11)

[xeno74]

Wicknix has updated the old SpiderWeb with the latest UXP. He changed the name, icons, etc for a fresh look and feel.

Download: sealion-32.1.1.linux-powerpc-gtk2.tar.bz2

FYI: SeaLion needs the libjpeg.so.8. This lib isn't available on new Debian based distributions (MintPPC, Debian Sid, etc). I uploaded it.

Download: libjpeg.so.8

Please copy it to /lib/powerpc-linux-gnu as root. After that run the command ldconfig for adding the new lib to the library cache. Then close the terminal and try to start SeaLion again.

Wicknix has released SeaLion 32.2.0.

Download and further information: github.com

This is a fantastic browser because of a fast and great old user interface with the latest Goanna layout and rendering engine.

If you use Fienix, MintPPC and Debian and you need some old libraries then install them from the following package.

I uploaded libffi and libjpeg from Void to the releases page. Let me know if Debian/Fienix/Mint require any others. Thanks.

You need to configure ViewTube via the 3 dots under the video. I use the embed video with Embed and play it with VLC.

I want to test last SeaLion, but it is 32-bit, and Debian Sid is 64-bit release.
Is possible to add 32-bit architecture to system with dpkg --add-architecture powerpc?
Works this today? Or is some simpler way?
I cannot create a mess in my fresh Debian system installed from scratch

Please try to install the package libc6-powerpc

GNU C Library: 32bit powerpc shared libraries for ppc64

This package includes shared versions of the standard C library and the standard math library, as well as many others. This is the 32bit version of the library, meant for ppc64 systems.

I think you need to install other libraries additionally.

I don’t have any experiences with 32-bit libraries on a Debian 64-bit userland so you are the first one who eventually test it.

I created a Chroot for using an other distribution in a main distribution additionally a few years ago.
