@xeno74 Which libicu are you using to build AF ? In which environment do you build this browser ? In modern sid you cannot build it because of a newer libicu.

You can also try to build it in a modern Linux like MintPPC / Debian sid. It is possible to use in tree ICU instead of system-icu. Ask rmottola how to build it, he did it for powerpc and it works in MintPPC32 without the need of an old libicu lib.

@xeno74 Which libicu are you using to build AF ? In which environment do you build this browser ?

I use AF with old Linux distributions like Ubuntu 16.04 PowerPC, Void PPC, Fedora 28 PPC64, and openSUSE Tumbleweed PPC64 so I need old libicu versions.
I always create the PPC 32-bit packages on Void PPC and the PPC64 packages on Fedora 28 PPC64.

Which libicu do you have in void ppc? I need a 71 version in MintPPC.

Yes, I use 71 on Void PPC.

Hi All,

Arctic Fox 47.2 has been released.

New and official downloads: github.com

I have compiled a Non-AltiVec PowerPC package on Void PPC and an AltiVec PPC64 package on Fedora 28 PPC64 this week.

Downloads and further information: github.com

These packages are also available in the MintPPC32 and MintPPC64 repositories.

Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit PowerPC with the new Arctic Fox 47.2:



Cheers,
Christian

I will ask him. Can I compile Arctic Fox 47.2 without the option ac_add_options --with-system-icu and without any patches and modifications on PPC Linux?

[mintppc]

Yes you can, that's what he did in his powerpc build:
