Arctic Fox

It does not start when trying to run it under MintPPC. Only Leafpad is opened, as if it were not an executable.

Which package do you use? There are two 32-bit PPC Linux packages. See above.

@Roland You better wait a bit, it will come to the repo soon.
@xeno74 Which one do you want me to package for MintPPC32 ?

Please test both packages on MintPPC32. I am not sure if the Void package works on MintPPC32.

The one I refered in my message (https://github.com/rmottola/Arctic-Fox/ ... pc.tar.bz2).

Ah, I see. Have you seen any error messages? Have you already tested the Void package?

I tried the rmottola version of AF 46.0. it works in MintPPC32. I looked at the build config and he used --enable-altivec. I think this version won't work on your machines.

I also tried the void version but it complains about a missing library:
libicui18n18n.so.71. I have various library versions there but not the 71 version...(72 and 76).
I installed the snapshot Debian libicu71 package https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/deb ... owerpc.deb
It then worked. It seems that this void version is quicker than the original rmottola version. Looking at this build config it seems that it should work on your type of machines as altivec has not been enabled. Please let me know if you want this void version packaged in MintPPC32.

Best regards,
Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,

Thanks a lot for testing.

Yes, it is better to create a deb package of the Void version for MintPPC32.

Have a nice weekend,

I uploaded AF 46.0.1 to the MintPPC32 repository. You can now safely upgrade.

Be aware that binaries stemming from xorg-server will be upgraded if you do an apt upgrade and that the /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so will be reinstalled. This led to a non working X for me.

Great! Thank you.
