Works fine.

Even a little snappier, though that sometimes happens when I upgrade to any new version (guess it refreshes something).

This version seems to work exceptionally well for my legacy xulrunner application on modern MacOS OSses! Could you perhaps share your mozconfig and used SDK versions and such?

The following web site has the build information:

http://developer.palemoon.org/build/mac/

For the specifics of my build environment, I am building on a MacPro1,1 running MacOS 10.11 El Capitan with XCode 8.2.1 and the 10.7 SDK recommended on the build page.

I actually followed this guide installing a fresh MacOS VM using MacOSX10.11 and the mentioned versions of the required tooling (including the 10.7 SDK and xcode 8.2.1) and the provided mozconf file. I dont get past this linker error:

Why aren't you just using the binary that is already built?

Good question . Because I essentially need xulrunner, or (at least) as custom palemoon build that behaves more like xulrunner, by launching a custom app by-default, instead of the browser. Of course this can be achieved by using command line switches, but that is not really suitable for end users.

Oh actually... I think I remember this... search your SDKs for that crt1.10.6.o it should be in one of the SDK folders... put it in the 10.7 SDK. If you can't find it I'll send it to you.

Original-MacPro:Pale-Moon nuke$ locate crt1.10.6
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib/crt1.10.6.o

Not sure why it is missing from the SDKs on github.

Would you please add the

"ui.use_standins_for_native_colors"

value to prefs.js to completely fix the "white text on white background problem" on newer macOS versions for the next build? (It fixes it completely in Firefox Developer edition)

Right now turning off "ui.use_native_colors" works but messes up different things as well (like autofill previews).

Before you go off on a wild goose chase: "use_standins_for_native_colors" is a Tor browser consideration (to hide real theme colors from being requested as an identifier). We don't have it nor want it.

I already had PM on my mac +/- 5 years ago, but then there were still some bugs, especially in the menu bar.
Rediscovered a few weeks ago and very satisfied.
This new version works well on High Sierra.
This will have been a lot of work, thank you !!!!!!

Hopefully we'll see a 29.1 binary show up soon.

I was building releases for Mac OS X a couple years ago.
If one were to build it from source,
after syncing the source code,
It was NOT the easiest code to get to compile.

- Are the any specific configuration/build requirements to get it to build?
I had a wide range of toolkits installed from macports, mixed w/ Apple's SDK
- gcc vs clang / llvm ??
- make vs gmake,??
- apple SDK version 10-9-10.15, 10.6-11.X.... etc??

If I remember correctly it took me quiet awhile to find the right combination to get it to build.
-- At the time I was building from Sierra or Yosemite,
I believe using 10.9 SDK in Yosemite.
-- -- (And trying for that compatibility from Sierra (This was 2-3 years ago)).

Well, if I get some free-time again,
-- a frame of reference to what's actually getting it built would help greatly....
I would try for a more modern optimized build.

New build in a new thread just posted, also read my post #4 in this thread for build information.
