5 years ago Sorry I forgot about that Sineemore, here you go! It probably doesn't work as-is, you may have to switch enable-application= to 'suite' or 'browser', I still haven't managed to get this package going.

https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/UXP/archive/v2018.11.07.tar.gz I guess it is not Pale Moon sources, but a Basilisk project. Check their releases page.

5 years ago @johnny-mac, I've successfully built palemoon. Now I'm stuck a bit on packaging it in a sane way.
I'll provide relevant template and .mozconfig a bit later. (or ping me, if you need them ASAP)

5 years ago @sineemore Is it an "addiction"? IMO Moonchild's decision to close the issue is reasonable as musl is still quite obscure, though I don't think a PR to support it would be downright refused.
Johnnynator
commented
5 years ago @mrnhmath The problem isn't only musl, also we would have to rebrand it once we deviate a single bit (aka not their binary release probably) from upstream.
sineemore
commented
5 years ago @mrnhmath, forum thread on musl support.
@Johnnynator, I don't think rebranding is an issue here, palemoon supports alternative branding, something like "New Moon", IIRC. The issue is, palemoon requires you to use their patched libraries and system ones are a second tier goal for them.

commented
5 years ago I found some of the patches used by alpine linux. https://github.com/tanertas/aports/tree/palemoon/testing/palemoon
@sineemore can you please provide me with all of the patch files you used? And are you not using MUSL??? :/
johnny-mac
commented
5 years ago @mrnhmath it looks like Alpine Linux uses it w/ MUSL...
johnny-mac
commented
5 years ago If we need to rebrand it, we'll rebrand it, even though I think its really silly & very tedious for the devs to require this sort of thing.... Let's make sure we have it working before we re-brand it though :)
sineemore
commented
5 years ago @johnny-mac, palemoon already supports alternative branding, you can disable the official one in mozconfig file.
ac_add_options --enable-official-brandingI haven't done any modifications to source tree and used the bundled libraries. I think the palemoon forum and Alpine ports are nice places to start porting palemoon to musl.
But I'm not sure if it worth the trouble. Porting software and keeping up with updates is hardly a pleasant job.
johnny-mac
commented
5 years ago Okay, but what about the patches? Can you provide those?
sineemore
commented
5 years ago @johnny-mac, sorry for late response.
As I've written above:
I haven't done any modifications to source tree and used the bundled libraries.
Only template and mozconfig, see https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/4130#issuecomment-440128163
That's enough to build palemoon with glibc.
Put the files in appropriate locations, and run ./xbps-src pkg palemoon, then xbps-install -R hostdir/binpkgs/ palemoon.
Here are two templates I am working on, anyone is free to take these & do what they want with them. You do not have to "credit" me for anything. Palemoon is a fork of Firefox that still supports NPAPI plugins, which if I am not mistaken are being phased out of firefox-esr eventually, if that hasn't already happened.
The palemoon template probably has more dependencies than it really needs, I still can't make it compile successfully but I've got a good rough draft for a template. What do you do when it tells you it needs a screen to output or "export" it on/to? I'll have the exact error posted soon, sorry.
