SeaLion - A web browser for 32-bit PowerPC Linux (Void / Debian 11)

[Hypex]

Okay so how to do I run this? It's missing a readme. I get no where trying to execute binaries I find:

Code: Select all

       
fienix@fienix:~/Downloads$ cd sealion
fienix@fienix:~/Downloads/sealion$ ./sealion 
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/fienix/Downloads/sealion/libxul.so:
libffi.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
fienix@fienix:~/Downloads/sealion$ ./run-mozilla.sh 

run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute .

EDIT:
Okay solved it:

Code: Select all

fienix@fienix:~/Downloads/sealion$ sudo apt-get install libffi7
fienix@fienix:~/Downloads/sealion$ sudo apt-get install libjpeg8

It works better on Github. Rendering is corrupted on file names. But it can work to download files.

Gives me lots of errors though:
fienix@fienix:~/Downloads/sealion$ ./sealion

Code: Select all

It works better on Github. Rendering is corrupted on file names. But it can work to download files.

Please reload the Github page after you loaded it. It helps me with the file names.

I compiled the new SeaLion 33.4.0 on Linux x86_64 as well.

Download: sealion-33.4.0.linux-x86_64.tar.xz

I have compiled a Linux PPC64 version of the new SeaLion 33.4.0.

Download: sealion-33.4.0.linux-powerpc64.tar.xz

I compiled the new SeaLion 33.4.0 on Linux x86_64 as well.

Download: sealion-33.4.0.linux-x86_64.tar.xz

If you need the libffi.so.4 and the libjpeg.so.8 then download the SeaLion deps package, extract it and copy the libs to the lib64 directory.

Hi All,

Wicknix has released SeaLion 33.5.1.

This release is current with the latest UXP. You can find out what has changed from UXP's release notes found here: http://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml

Add-ons, extensions, and themes can be found here: https://github.com/wicknix/SeaLion/rele ... 33.0.0.zip

Older browsers that can't see the downloads click here: https://github.com/wicknix/SeaLion/rele ... ets/33.5.1

I compiled SeaLion 33.5.1 for older Linux PPC distributions for example Void PPC without AltiVec support today.

Download: sealion-33.5.1.linux-powerpc-void-gtk2.tar.xz



Cheers,

Preparation of the Linux PPC64 version:

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

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"
