Preparation of the Linux PPC64 version:

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

Grab BrassMonkey source here Source code

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

Compiling the BrassMonkey 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"
