macOS builds?

[future10se]

Thank you for developing Thorium and Mercury.

Would you consider maintaining a macOS build for Mercury as well?

[Alex313031]

@Midzer makes the macos thorium builds because you need a mac to compile, which I don't have. It would be up to him.

I recommend to use GitHub Actions.

( GitHub doesn't provide M1 Mac. PGO can enable at Intel build only) https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/ESR115/.github/workflows/macOS-Universal.yml

I don't agree with using GitHub Actions, it doesn't bring much convenience

It is up to the developer to decide, but we are saying that if the focus is on providing the product, it should be used.

Not convenient, but practical.

[gz83]

Mercury is a relatively large project. If we use GitHub Action to compile and publish, we need to create multiple different bots, and the entire compilation process takes a long time, and operations such as modifying code are not as convenient as compiling on a local device.

In addition, GitHub Action has certain restrictions, and it is not a free product.

The above is my opinion, we also need to listen to the opinions of other team members.

@gz83 Not to be contrary, but Github Actions does not charge for public repositories. It is completely free.

We also use it to build our Floorp. The beta version is built on a Github Actions machine, but the stable version is built using Buildjet.

You have to write about 1400 lines to automate the process, but once done, it is very useful.

I think it is worth doing, but there is certainly no problem at all doing it locally.

Thank you for providing more information

Mozilla bootstrap

• refused telemetry
• downloaded artifacts firefox source build ( default )

folders location

I have the following folders :

• ~/mozilla-unified
• ~/Mercury
• ~/.mozbuild

Let me know if you think of any relevant information you would like to know

[gz83]

It seems that the compilation parameters you used are incorrect, and we currently do not seem to provide compilation parameters for MacOS. I will now forward this issue to Alex and midzer for further investigation.
