I compiled the new SeaLion 33.4.0 on Linux x86_64 as well.

Download: sealion-33.4.0.linux-x86_64.tar.xz

I have compiled a Linux PPC64 version of the new SeaLion 33.4.0.

Download: sealion-33.4.0.linux-powerpc64.tar.xz

I compiled the new SeaLion 33.4.0 on Linux x86_64 as well.

Download: sealion-33.4.0.linux-x86_64.tar.xz

If you need the libffi.so.4 and the libjpeg.so.8 then download the SeaLion deps package, extract it and copy the libs to the lib64 directory.

I compiled SeaLion 33.5.1 for older Linux PPC distributions for example Void PPC without AltiVec support today.

Preparation of the Linux PPC64 version:

Download the UXP source here: UXP master.tar.gz

Grab SL source here Source code

Extract SL source, then extract UXP source. It'll extract to a folder called "uxp". Rename it to "platform" and move it in to the SL source tree.

Compiling the SeaLion for Linux PPC64:

It needs GCC 7.1 or newer.

Upgrading of GCC to version 8.3.1:

Code: Select all

sudo dnf update gcc-c++

(This upgrades the packages gcc-c++, gcc, and cpp)

If you want to use "rpm -U" then you need to download the rpm packages of gcc-c++, gcc, and cpp first.

.mozconfig

Code: Select all

export CC="gcc -flax-vector-conversions -O3 -falign-loops=16 -falign-functions=16 -falign-labels=16 -falign-jumps=16 -maltivec -mabi=altivec"
export CXX="g++ -flax-vector-conversions -fpermissive -O3 -falign-loops=16 -falign-functions=16 -falign-labels=16 -falign-jumps=16 -maltivec -mabi=altivec"
