Preparation of the
Linux PPC64 version of SeaLion
33.6.1:
Download the stable UXP source here:
RB_20250310
Grab SL source here
Source code
Extract SL source, then extract UXP source. It'll extract to a folder called "uxp". Rename it to "platform" and move it in to the SL source tree.
Compiling the SeaLion for Linux PPC64:
It needs GCC 7.1 or newer.
Upgrading of GCC to version 8.3.1:
(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"
export CXX="g++ -flax-vector-conversions -fpermissive -O3 -falign-loops=16 -falign-functions=16 -falign-labels=16 -falign-jumps=16 -maltivec -mabi=altivec"

Please note: Copy the

./mach package" and then extract the sealion xz package and copy the
icudt63b.dat again to the sealion folder.

If you need the
libffi.so.7 and the
libjpeg.so.8 for Linux PPC 32-bit libc then download the SeaLion-BrassMonkey deps package, extract it and copy the libs to the lib directory.
