I compiled the Linux PPC64 version again today but unfortunately it doesn't start. There aren't any error messages.

But there is a new UXP based web browser available for Linux PPC64.

Link: White Star Browser

That is interesting, thanks. I will try this new browser.

With respect to SeaLion
Just have a look at the build configuration for this new browser and apply it to SeaLion. It looks like SeaLion is very similar to Whitestar.

Another thought: the SeaLion you are building might have Altivec enabled and might not run on your computer. May I test it on my machines?

Unfortunately Whitestar doesn't start on my Debian PPC64 either.
