The old versions of SeaLion are working without any problems.

I can compile the latest version with mach build but mach run doesn’t start SeaLion for Linux PPC64.

Maybe ppc64 SeaLion can only be built in an old Linux environment, like the one you use for powerpc. If I remember correctly, you used to build them in old Fedora ppc64.

Yes, I built it on Fedora 28 PPC64 before but unfortunately it doesn’t start either. The compiling itself works but it doesn’t start.

I would file a bug report, maybe wicknix has an answer to why it is not working.

For MintPPC64 there is SeaLion 34.1.1 and Arctic-Fox 47.2-2. No worries.

Isn't there anymore available Firefox-ESR for Debian/Mint PPC64?

I cannot anymore run Youtube videos in the m3u8 format with VLC. The program gives the error message 'illegal instruction' and closes itself. MP4 videos still work, but nowadays there is only the low res version avalailable. I have the the latest version of Viewtube.

Is this a general problem, or is it only on my system? Here is link for one of of the videos I tried to run:
