Guide to compile Firefox for Linux PPC64

[TzunamiOSX]

I would like to compile Firefox myself. My goal is a correct color representation.

Peraps anyone can help with a guide oder links, where to find the needed parts.

Or is the color bug not the problem of Firefox?

I don't believe it to be specifically a firefox issue. It's an endianness issue that affects colors in various other software as well. Building FF yourself wont magically fix it (unless of course you already know what needs fixing, and want to test it before submitting patches upstream).

Funfact: FFplay on PowerPC Mac OS X has a big endian related bug. When I finally got SDL2 working on Panther I had this mess of inverse colors until I patched in a custom configuration.

The issue with something that has as many lines of code as Mozilla based browsers is it's really hard to pinpoint. I'd lean towards skia, or cairo, or webp as starting points, but who knows. It could be anything.
