Trying to build 3.6.8 - and it's not going so well. It's complaining about processor architecture - the procedure I outlined above won't work with this source code. There's a chance the PowerPC port is broken.

Hi Paul
You will need to add the following line to your mozconfig file.
- Code: Select all
ac_add_options --disable-ipc
In Firefox 3.6.4 IPC crash protection was introduced based on Chromium source code. As far as I know Chromium doesn't support the PowerPC architecture.
Hopefully that fixes it for you.

This should be taken upstream. Although I doubt they'd be interested in it
since their primary arches of interest are x86/amd64/arm. They might be
interested if you provide patches though.

Any way to get the IBM Java 6 plugin working with it? Doesn't seem to work via the usual method.
