Created attachment 33922 [details, diff] Patch for mozilla 1.7 ebuild to allow compilation on ppc64
add dependancy on bug #54807 (gtk+ 1.x, a gdm dependancy) add dependancy on bug #54814 (gnupg fix)
just an FYI, mozilla doesn't actually run, it segfaults on startup. The reason is that you need to compile it with -O1 instead of the default -O2, but -O1 is causing an ICE right now (-O0 has some other wierd problem). I'd still commit this patch, just so the rest of gnome can be committed that depends on this (freaking epiphany of gnome requires mozilla). We can revisit mozilla soon. Most likely the next revision of GCC will fix it. (it was tried with gcc 3.4, but it's possible gcc 3.3.x does not cause an ICE at -O1) -Brad
Just an FYI, to solve the segfault on start that you will experience by emerging this, Mozilla needs to be compiled with -O1. Unfortunately right now, GCC 3.4.0 causes an ICE with -O1, and it's because of the -fno-exceptions flag that mozilla uses with -O1. Oddly enough -O2 doesn't cause this. Reference: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16239 I would suggest at this point, applying these patches to CVS with the default -O2 optimization, just so we can get the rest of the deps for gnome sorted out, even if it's not fully functional. The Epiphany browser should actually work linked against the mozilla that segfaults on start. -Brad
Same problem on PPC here. Compiled it today on ibook G3 with -O1. Build FAILED: Here is the emerge output: nsHttpGssapiAuth.cpp:446: error: `GSS_S_CONTINUE_NEEDED' undeclared (first use this function) {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:39: Error: symbol `mech_oid' is already defined gmake[3]: *** [nsHttpGssapiAuth.o] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.7/work/mozilla/extensions/negotiateauth' gmake[2]: *** [libs] Error 2 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.7/work/mozilla/extensions' gmake[1]: *** [tier_94] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.7/work/mozilla' make: *** [default] Error 2 !!!

mozilla-firefox-0.9.1-r1 also compiles with this patch, but won't start, too. Markus
well I don't know that this is progress 1.7.2-r1 segfaults on build with -O2 ../../../../coreconf/nsinstall/Linux2.6_ppc64_glibc_PTH_64_OPT.OBJ/nsinstall -R -m 775 Linux2.6_ppc64_glibc_PTH_64_OPT.OBJ/mangle /var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.7.2-r1/work/mozilla/dist/bin gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.7.2-r1/work/mozilla/security/nss/cmd/shlibsign/mangle' Linux2.6_ppc64_glibc_PTH_64_OPT.OBJ/shlibsign -v -i /var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.7.2-r1/work/mozilla/dist/lib/libsoftokn3.so ./sign.sh: line 51: 6010 Segmentation fault ${2}/shlibsign -v -i ${4} gmake[3]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.7.2-r1/work/mozilla/dist/lib/libsoftokn3.chk] Error 139
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16239 could this be the cause ???
Hi. I just tried to build mozilla with gcc-3.4.2, because the changelog says this problem is solved. I tied to build with C(XX)FLAGS="-O1 -no-exception" and all I get is this: /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.2/../../../../powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: ../../dist/lib/libgkxulbase_s.a(nsListBoxLayout.o)(.text._ZN15nsListBoxLayout11GetPrefSizeEP6nsIBoxR16nsBoxLayoutStateR6nsSize+0x2c): sibling call optimization to `.nsGridRowGroupLayout::GetPrefSize(nsIBox*, nsBoxLayoutState&, nsSize&)' does not allow automatic multiple TOCs; recompile with -mminimal-toc or -fno-optimize-sibling-calls, or make `.nsGridRowGroupLayout::GetPrefSize(nsIBox*, nsBoxLayoutState&, nsSize&)' extern /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.2/../../../../powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status gmake[3]: *** [libgklayout.so] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.7.2-r1/work/mozilla/layout/build' gmake[2]: *** [libs] Error 2 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.7.2-r1/work/mozilla/layout' gmake[1]: *** [tier_9] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.7.2-r1/work/mozilla' make: *** [default] Error 2 !!!

ok.. forget about my last comment... I forgot to "append-flags -mminimal-toc" ;-( here is what I get if I do that and make some changes to mozilla.eclass (using -O1 and -fPIC). markus
Created attachment 42624 [details] mozilla-firefox.output output
also take a look at this bug in mozilla's bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266123
alright, I have both mozilla and firefox building ... they don't quite work .. but making progress I guess
Initial port of mozilla 1.6.7-r1 marked ~ppc64 and commited to portage ... gcc 3.4.3 appears to be required!
