[Description Gutleib 2019-03-19 21:19:36 UTC]

I am reanimating a PowerMac 11.2, based on Power 970 Big endian CPU.

emerge firefox fails:

Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.

Hi again!
I upped importance a notch, because personal workstation is almost useless without www-client.
How can I help resolving this issue, given I have no coding skills?

This is a tier 3 arch which means it is not even officially supported by upstream anymore. The error is very clear it is needing nodejs. you should start your testing with firefox-60.x which is the esr branch and moves much slower.

You can build from upstream source and report upstream bugs. ;) See https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Porting/Firefox for a small tutorial.

Gentoo www-client/firefox-66.0.3 builds for me on Talos (ppc64) but crashes. Which is an improvement as FF 64 or 65 did not build at all with the Gentoo ebuild.

[Comment 7 Jory A. Pratt 2019-07-25 16:43:53 UTC]

Please test 68.0.1 which is now keyworded for ppc64, if you have problems with it please open a new bug with up to date information for us to debug with.

Thanks! ATM I only got 2 problems:
1.) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1504834
2.) Videos on youtube do not start playing. Though the preview pictures of the stream correctly work.

But I thought these to be runtime problems. And AFAIK Gentoos bug policy is to preferably do upstream bug reports for runtime problems which do not lead to a crash?
