I created a new build environment for BrassMonkey last week.

With this new build environment, I compiled the latest BrassMonkey with the new UXP version UXP-RB_20250602.

1. Download the SeaLion-Extras.zip package.
2. Unpack it and install the addon greasemonkey-3.10.0.1rc3pre-sw.xpi
3. Download the new ViewTube SeaLion and Brassmonkey package
4. Delete the old folder gm_scripts
   rm -rf /home/<your user directory>/.brassmonkey/brassmonkey/<profile directory>/gm_scripts
5. Unpack the package and copy the folder gm_scripts to /home/<your user directory>/.brassmonkey/brassmonkey/<profile directory>/
   For example:

   Code: Select all

   cp -R /home/amigaone/Downloads/gm_scripts /home/amigaone/.brassmonkey/brassmonkey/8fas182j.default/

6. Restart BrassMonkey

Preparation of the Linux PPC64 version:

Download the UXP source here: UXP master.tar.gz

Grab BrassMonkey source here Source code

Extract the BrassMonkey source, then extract UXP source. It'll extract to a folder called "uxp". Rename it to "platform" and move it in to the BrassMonkey source tree.

Compiling the BrassMonkey 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"
