Hey -
I was able to fix PM 31.2 for ppc64. However i no longer have my old ubuntu 12 dev environment to attempt 32bit builds for debian/ubuntu compatible systems.
If you'd like to give it a shot the source is here:
pale-moon-31-ppc-fix.tar.bz2

Don't worry about the git section. I already have the submodules and everything in place.
However after it builds, you'll need to swap the LE/BE icu.dat files around again after packaging. I included one in the archive.
ubuntu MATE 16.04.7: ERROR: Only GCC 7.1 or newer is supported (found version 5.4.0)
MintPPC: OK, compiling works but linking not.
It linked 40 minutes and after that I got the following error message again and again:

I tried it again with GCC9 but linking doesn’t work either. (error: relocation overflow)
Maybe cross compiling is a solution:
.mozconfig

Oh dear, I have it. It was really strenuous and time-consuming ....
Pale Moon 31.2.0 works on Linux PPC (32-bit)!
The gold linker was the problem. I had to change to the
bfd version of
ld with deleting the symbolic link
/usr/bin/ld.gold.
Then there was an issue with a header file. I have to edit the file
/home/mintppc/Downloads/pale_moon_src/pale-moon/platform/extensions/spellcheck/src/mozSpellChecker.h
Code: Select all
- #include "RemoteSpellCheckEngineChild.h"
+ #include "/home/mintppc/Downloads/pale_moon_src/pale-moon/obj-powerpc-linux-gnu/dist/include/mozilla/RemoteSpellCheckEngineChild.h"
Additionally I had to use the following LDFLAGS:
Code: Select all
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-keep-memory -Wl,--no-map-whole-files -Wl,--reduce-memory-overheads"
And not to forget to copy the
icudt58b.dat to
pale-moon/obj-powerpc-linux-gnu/dist/bin before "
mach run" and "
mach package" and then extract the
xz package and copy the
icudt58b.dat again to the palemoon folder.

It only works on new MintPPC and Debian Sid distributions. It doesn't work on Void PPC and Fienix so I compiled Pale Moon 31.2.0 on Void PPC.
I had to add
-latomic to the LDFLAGS and deactivated
ac_add_options --with-pthreads in the
.mozconfig.
Code: Select all
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-keep-memory -Wl,--no-map-whole-files -Wl,--reduce-memory-overheads -latomic"
.mozconfig:
Code: Select all
export CC="gcc -m32"
export CXX="g++ -m32"

This version was compiled with GCC 10.2.1 on Void PPC.

I cannot get either of these palemoon-31 versions running... Only a text editor is opened if I double click the "palemoon" or "palemoon.bin" icon!

Your MintPPC distribution is too old. The Void package of PM needs a Linux distribution with glibc 2.32 and higher. Please update your MintPPC. Both packages work on my MintPPC.

In what package is the glibc 2.3x included? Does it have effect on VLC? I won't do anymore full updates with MintPPC as they broke the functionality of VLC!
