Hi All,

I compiled SeaLion 33.5.1 for Adélie Linux (musl) without AltiVec support today.

Download: github.com

Alternative download link: sealion-33.5.1.linux-powerpc-adelie-musl-gtk2.tar.xz

You can start it with ./run_sealion.sh.

Cheers,
Christian

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:

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"
export CXX="g++ -flax-vector-conversions -fpermissive -O3 -falign-loops=16 -falign-functions=16 -falign-labels=16 -falign-jumps=16 -maltivec -mabi=altivec"

Remove the following line from the file "platform/security/nss/lib/freebl/freebl.gyp":

Code: Select all

      'target_name': 'gcm-aes-ppc_c_lib',
      'type': 'static_library',
      'sources': [
        'gcm-ppc.c',
-        'sha512-p8.s',
      ],
      'dependencies': [
./mach build

Please note: Copy the icudt63b.dat to obj-powerpc64-linux-gnu/dist/bin before "./mach run" and "./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.
