I've made a patch which allows firefox to build on my system Similar patches, found on the internet: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/181877/ http://repository.timesys.com/buildsources/f/firefox/firefox-14.0.1/firefox-14.0.1-uclibc.patch Some stuff is also already reported upstream (also search for uclibc to see few others): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=880206 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=880209 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=880213 there should probably be checks to see if execinfo.h is on the system (afaik there is setting in uclibc for that) not found in the above patches is: xpcom/io/nsLocalFileUnix.cpp uses dqb_curspace in struct, while uclibc uses dqb_curblocks media/webrtc/trunk/src/system_wrappers/source/sort.cc needs #define NO_STL otherwise it includes "spreadsort.hpp" which has some weird getchar() with two arguments at which it fails There is still one problem to be solved: % firefox XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom.so: File not found Couldn't load XPCOM. I need to run it as LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/firefox" firefox so it starts Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 352614 [details, diff] firefox uclibc patch
Created attachment 353708 [details, diff] firefox-22 uclibc patch So after moving my system to ~arch I started looking into firefox-22, the patch looks practically the same, but it seems like there are some more things needed to be done, It fails at /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-22.0/work/mozilla-release/toolkit/crashreporter/google-breakpad/src/common/stabs_reader.cc due to missing stab.h (I created fake one) Then it builds. Similarly to 17.0.7 I need to start it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/firefox" firefox so it finds libraries, but it fails with segmantation fault.
Created attachment 353710 [details] fake stab.h
Created attachment 353712 [details] strace of firefox-22 failing to start
Created attachment 353714 [details] gdb backtrace Does not that useful but it says that failure is at memset()
So after looking at ebuilds I noticed that firefox-22 enables this: mozconfig_annotate '' --enable-jemalloc mozconfig_annotate '' --enable-replace-malloc When I commented it out and rebuild, firefox starts. There are few usability glitches though, * when dragging tabs it only does drag the title, not whole tab, and doesn't move them on drop (mouse release) * Location bar doesn't seem to send events correctly (ie. 'return key', paste and go, clicking 'Go to the address in Location Bar' does not start opening page as expected)

@mozilla team. Would you consider adding these patches (or the ones from bug #506878 whichever you feel are more sane) to mozilla's ebuild contingent on `if use uclibc` ??
I tried again with the Firefox ESR 31.x series (after my success with the ESR 24.x series, see bug 506878). However I am stuck with some obscure error involving C++ destructors. This is the error output I get from ./mach build: 154:34.58 ../../crashreporter/google-breakpad/src/common/dump_symbols.o: In function `bool (anonymous namespace)::LoadSymbols<google_breakpad::ElfClass32>(std::string const&, bool, google_breakpad::ElfClass32::Ehdr const*, bool, (anonymous namespace)::LoadSymbolsInfo<google_breakpad::ElfClass32>*, SymbolData, google_breakpad::Module*)': 154:34.58 dump_symbols.cc:(.text+0xe56): undefined reference to `vtable for google_breakpad::StabsToModule' 154:34.58 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-gentoo-linux-uclibc/4.8.4/../../../../x86_64-gentoo-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: ../../crashreporter/google-breakpad/src/common/dump_symbols.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined hidden symbol `_ZTVN15google_breakpad13StabsToModuleE' can not be used when making a shared object 154:34.58 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-gentoo-linux-uclibc/4.8.4/../../../../x86_64-gentoo-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value 154:34.58 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status 154:34.59 /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-31.6.0/work/mozilla-esr31-uclibc/config/rules.mk:882: recipe for target 'libxul.so' failed 154:34.59 gmake[5]: *** [libxul.so] Error 1 154:34.59 /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-31.6.0/work/mozilla-esr31-uclibc/config/recurse.mk:95: recipe for target 'toolkit/library/build/libs' failed 154:34.59 gmake[4]: *** [toolkit/library/build/libs] Error 2 154:34.59 /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-31.6.0/work/mozilla-esr31-uclibc/config/recurse.mk:39: recipe for target 'libs' failed 154:34.59 gmake[3]: *** [libs] Error 2 154:34.59 /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-31.6.0/work/mozilla-esr31-uclibc/config/rules.mk:592: recipe for target 'default' failed 154:34.59 gmake[2]: *** [default] Error 2 154:34.59 /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-31.6.0/work/mozilla-esr31-uclibc/client.mk:381: recipe for target 'realbuild' failed 154:34.59 gmake[1]: *** [realbuild] Error 2 154:34.59 client.mk:168: recipe for target 'build' failed 154:34.59 gmake: *** [build] Error 2 154:34.62 374 compiler warnings present.

Created attachment 439670 [details, diff] firefox-38.8-uclibc.patch I finally managed to get Firefox 38.8 working on uclibc. I had to disable to disable profiling and SVG for it, but would like to enable them back (I disabled nothing in Firefox 24 to get it working)

Nothing more is disabled for 38.8 on uclibc. Woohoo!

And what is your version of icu?
(In reply to tt_1 from comment #20) > And what is your version of icu? I thought I was on an older version of icu, but I am using icu version 57. However, I have not migrated to uclibc-ng yet. Thus, I do not hit your bug.
If you feel I have closed your bug and it is still a current issue, please reopen and update it completely. We will not work bugs that have no ebuild in tree any longer or can not be reproduced with a current system. Thank You for your support and understanding The Mozilla Team
