I've not really kept track, my ps3 firmware is unpatched and unupdated since that OtherOS removal fiasco, and has been somewhat abandoned - keeping it for old time's sake. Still boots YDL 6.2. I'm keeping it for now as it's the only non x86 machine in the house I have that boots an OS I can tinker with. I am waiting for those ARM machines to come (and likely the linuxes to follow). But I digress... Take a look at gitbrew.org. I think your man, Levand, is there. (Thanks for keeping this going, Geoff!) I would warn you, linux on any machine is not for the faint of heart. You have to be prepared to get your hands dirty. You will break things. Have backups. And be nice on this list.

To enable build you need to patch two files in the source so that IPC will work with powerpc. These are given in the following bug report. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=520465&action=diff Having done this I used a .mozconfig as follows: # .mozconfig . $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/ff-opt export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser ac_add_options --target=powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu ac_add_options --disable-tests ac_add_options --disable-debug ac_add_options --enable-optimize ac_add_options --without-system-nspr ac_add_options --without-system-nss ac_add_options --with-system-zlib ac_add_options --without-system-bz2 ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg ac_add_options --without-system-png ac_add_options --without-system-mng ac_add_options --with-pthreads ac_add_options --enable-update-packaging ac_add_options --enable-update-channel=release ac_add_options --enable-crypto ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2 ac_add_options --enable-svg ac_add_options --enable-canvas ac_add_options --enable-xft ac_add_options --enable-application=browser ac_add_options --enable-ipc ac_add_options --enable-pango ac_add_options --enable-safe-browsing ac_add_options --enable-extensions=default Then I followed the following steps: # make make -f client.mk configure make -f client.mk build # test ff-opt/dist/bin/firefox # package cd ff-opt make package # archive in: /ff-opt/dist The resulting archive is unpacked somewhere like /usr/local/lib and a link set up: cd /usr/local/bin ln -s /usr/local/lib/firefox/firefox This may not be as convenient as a rpm, but provides an executable that seems to work quite well. I have done limited testing on my iBook and G5. The build takes at least two hours on my G5. I hope this is of use to someone. -- Stephen Harker s.harker at adfa.edu.au PEMS UNSW at ADFA
