Hi,

wrong list, please use this one if you want to reach ppl that do active work on ppc:

https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev

Come to think of it, it might be interesting/ helpful contacting Cameron Kaiser (tenfourfox) and Tobias Netzel (webkit for leopard) additionally, asking about how or if their ppc osx work could potentially/ at all benefit linux ppc!?

Hi All,

Iceweasel was updated to version 40.0.3-3 for the unofficial Debian PPC64 port. I installed it inside my Debian PPC64 chroot. Unfortunately it doesn't start either.

Note: Iceweasel and Firefox 40.X.X PowerPC aren't available for all Ubuntu flavours and for Debian with 32-bit userland currently.

Cheers,

Christian

Hi Lennart,

Thank you for your answer.

Unfortunately the increasing of the stack spaces wasn't successfully.

I tried the following stack sizes:

ulimit -s 16384
ulimit -s 32768
ulimit -s 65536
ulimit -s 131072

iceweasel Debian PPC64 in a chroot:

too much recursion
Segmentation fault

Rgds,

Christian

There are build problems:

Iceweasel 40 build status:
https://packages.debian.org/de/experimental/iceweasel

Firefox 40 build status: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/

But iceweasel 40.0.3-1 was released for the unofficial Debian PPC64 port. I
installed it inside my Debian PPC64 chroot. Unfortunately it doesn't start.

Error messages:

too much recursion
Segmentation fault

Is anyone working on resolving this issue?
Could you try what happens if you change the stack size limit?

ulimit -s 16384 (I believe the current default that you can check with
ulimit -a is 8192).  Could even try something even bigger like 65536.
Then run firefox from that terminal where you changed the limit
temporarily.

Certainly with 64 bit pointers and 64 bit registers, ppc64 could be using
quite a bit of stack space in the javascript engine, which appears to
be the thing that always causes this error in firefox (seems to happen
everytime they change the engine in a major way, and then things get
tweaked until it works again, then it gets broken again).
