Is possible compile palemoon on mac os x etc?

[Yumiko Noua]

hello, as I said, is possible to compile pale moon on mac os x (tiger) or lubuntu 12.04 remix? Because I tried on mac os x tiger compiling every Dependency Required and I get a error by python2, but I don't know if on lubuntu 12.04 remix do the same error.

thanks in advance for the answers!

this is the error on mac os x tiger:

Short answer.... No. Both OS's are too old.
OS X requires 10.7 minimum.
Linux depends on distro, but needs to be fairly current within the last 4 years or so.

Well, it must be possible to compile some version of Palemoon, but unlikely it is gonna be of much use.

On a side note, will you be interested to take a brief look at building the current Arctic Fox? I rather want a second opinion, not outsourcing mechanical work

If something runs codesign, you do something wrong. But Tiger is generally hopeless. There are far more chances to get something working on 10.5 or 10.6. (If a predictable user experience is a priority, go for 10.5.8. 10.6 ppc is promising in some respects, but not a production-ready OS by any margin.)

Already tried that. Didn’t have much luck. The build i did get to work was basically 38.9esr based, aka pale moon 27.x. Current AF and PM have thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of new lines of code added since then. So, short answer is no, not really. I did my time, and i’m on to other things.

Why I asked is because the developer of Arctic Fox says he can build it for 10.5 Intel, but the binary crashes on launch. He has a branch for 10.5 now which is mostly up to date with master.

Leaving a startup crash aside for the time-being, there is only one non-trivial issue for PowerPC (since SDK is pretty much identical), which is ObjC stuff. That is what I wanted a bit of help with – in a sense of a sound advice from someone with more experience.

 

[wicknix]

One of the PM devs also has current Pale Moon building on OS X 10.5 PPC, but with the same crashing at startup issue. Maybe they can figure it out together. And i apologize, but i’m pretty much done with PPC hacking. I don’t have the time, the need, or the desire like i use to. The little time i do get will be mainly keeping SeaLion/BrassMonkey updated because i actually use them daily.

Cheers

Got it, and thank you for the reference!

A quick update. So we actually compiled Palemoon, but as of now the binary does not yet launch properly, needs some fixes for fonts rendering, apparently.

Chances are we get it to work.

Any update on this?

I ran Palemoon on my G4 iBook under linux and it ran pretty well a few years back, not sure what version it was.

The G5's should be able to run it pretty well with enough ram if we can get it going.

I was postponing all huge stuff until I update gcc, and that was postponed due to gfortran-related work, but the latter is kinda complete, so let me update to 13.3.0 and then I can deal with the browser.

Thanks for the update, hoping you are about to get it going. Let us know if there are any issues we can help with.
