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

[xeno74]

FYI:

Sealion 33.6.1 ppc64 works too in MintPPC/Debian sid. I have to do in /usr/lib/powerpc64-linux-gnu

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s libffi.so.8 libffi.so.6

I read about that trick somewhere. I was going to try it but didn't want to get caught out in case differences caused faults. So looked for a proper binary of that version.

Hi All,

I created a new build environment for SeaLion last week.

With this new build environment, I compiled the latest SeaLion with the new UXP version UXP-RB_20250602.

I use the following patches for SeaLion/musl for Adélie Linux.

On musl libc, #define free is dangerous.
