 Posted: Sat Mar 11, 2017 11:23 pm Post subject: current (51.0.1) firefox on aarch64 - progress and problems |
 |
|
I've finally got firefox compiled for aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu and at a first glance it seems to be working. Looks like "-sika" is causing problems for newer ff versions and enabling sika is the more promising option now.
Nevertheless there is still something wrong...
But first a (ugly) hack to disable the remaining neon definitions, allowing us to enable sika. That can be improved, but for now it does its job:

The problem is, one of the post-compile tasks hangs forever:
| Code: |
resource://gre/modules/subprocess/subprocess_worker_common.js
resource://gre/modules/subprocess/subprocess_worker_unix.js
resource://gre/modules/third_party/jsesc/jsesc.js
resource://gre/modules/vtt.jsm
resource://gre/modules/workers/PromiseWorker.js
resource://gre/modules/workers/require.js
|
After that it stalls forever...
After also disabled lines 153-179 in the file /tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-51.0.1/work/firefox-51.0.1/toolkit/mozapps/installer/packager.py. I can merge the package and load pages in my chroot cross-built system.
Not tested on a real arm system so far, but due to the hang I suspect javascript may still have issues. The good news is, that the resulting firefox package works in in the chroot on my crossdev built system, but I just loaded www.heise.de.
I've not yet found a way to get more information what xpcshell is doing.. has anyone a good idea how to debug that?
If you are interested I can provide a binary package of my firefox package (probably) on Monday. |

If you want to test my current firefox package you can now download it here:
https://awhome.eu/index.php/s/3qGiO9gta75sBdj
The patch to disable the remaining neon dependencies can also be downloaded with with the link above.
If you want other binary packages I can also upload them, but I did not had any problems building them myself. (I have now a complete @system build for "default/linux/arm64/13.0/desktop/systemd", ready to be tested on the real hardware.)
I'm planning to test a build on the real hardware next week too, after all there is a small chance that the problems are caused by qemu...

deagol,
I'm posting from a Raspberry Pi 3 in 64 bit mode with firefox 51.0.1 (64-bit).
Its built with cross distcc, gcc-6.3.0, the gold linker and your patch.
| Code: | | Pi3 64bit ~ # MAKEOPTS="-j4" emerge -uDN1 www-client/firefox |
and | Code: | | [ebuild R ] www-client/firefox-51.0.1::gentoo USE="bindist dbus hwaccel jemalloc skia startup-notification system-harfbuzz system-icu system-jpeg system-libevent system-libvpx |
That seems to work. Thank you.
