Awww yeah - check it out:
Who's the man now, dog?
Okay - so this is a build of Firefox 3.6.3:
firefox-3.6.3.en-US.linux-powerpc.tar.bz2It is NOT an RPM. Instead, it's a binary archive. What you'll do is unbzip it, and extract it as a "firefox" folder. Inside that firefox folder is a file called firefox. This is the launcher. Double click to start. You'll want to create a symbolic link to this file in /usr/local/bin - I wouldn't move it out of the firefox folder.
Don't worry about the fact that the name is Namoroka - this is a non-branded build. I'll have to generate one of those next with a special build switch I need to look up. It's completely Firefox 3.6.3 - just without the branding.
Also - note there is no separate xulrunner folder. I don't know how this works exactly, but the entire Firefox 3.63 is contained within this firefox folder, just as it should be.
I built this via the instructions on the page here:
http://www.ppcnux.com/?q=firefox-36x-co ... ux-powerpcwith two caveats:
1. Actually - you don't want to name the file .mozconfig - you want to name it mozconfig without the dot if you're putting it in the build directory. You only want to name the file .mozconfig if you're putting it in your home directory and then you only want to do that if you want
all of your mozilla build trees to build the same - which you generally don't.
2. I got this to build by forcing uname -m to ppc instead of ppc64 by using the setarch command for the build instructions. (Yes - it's the old 64bit vs. 32bit song and dance)
i.e.
setarch ppc make -f client.mk configure
setarch ppc make -f client.mk build
Cheers,
Paul
