Building a Pale Moon fork for Windows XP

[Fedor2]

All will be there soon including h264

I think trying to use the mingw toolchain as a compiler will give you terrible performance in the resulting binary. You should build on a later windows and just TARGET Windows XP.
If none of you really have access to at least one Windows 7 machine, I can see about playing buildbot for you, but try to work something out.

There seems to be a bug with msfn's ckeditor:

i do not have working mingw build for today, so now i see why linux version has considerably bad performance comparing with windows, uh that's bad. Do you make linux builds with see2 and other similar compiler options as windows?

I watch my github page too no need to duplicate.

Off-topic:

Release Linux builds use SSE2 and similar compiler optimizations as Windows. Comparing the Linux releases to Windows releases (on the occasions I have access to a Windows machine) I don't see the Linux version performing considerably bad.

Not sure what you're going on about here. Linux versions of Pale Moon perform just fine. I was talking about using the mingw toolchain on Windows, when compared to MSVC.

Anyway I built my own 27.4.2 with patches in #1 and replaced GetTickCount64() with dynamic loading NtQueryPerformanceCounter() like One-Core-Api does (with --disable-skia and bundled New Moon branding, nothing else changed)

My i7 6950X has VS2015 so I don't want to change it .
does i3 3rd gen , Windows 8.1 x64 with 8Gb can be used for building PM?

[Moonchild]

Of note, you can have multiple versions of VS installed on the same system without problems (I have VS2013 and VS2015 installed side by side, for example).

Shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks I will install vs2013 update 2 side by side .

H264 patch is not released.
So you're watching WebM version of clip.
For those clips not providing WebM version, you'll get a TV noise screen with error message.

Stupid question? Where are you posting these versions?

Is there an official site for this brand yet?

[Fedor2]

I have made page https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal

Where can it be downloaded pre-compiled and ready to install (or even to extract)?

Thanks a bunch for that, now I have an new default Browser for my XP

I have some doubts, to don't make more topic i will hace quickl here
1. Fedor2 and roytam1 is making your own XP builds? some difference?
2. How I can use Pale Moon in portable mode? ie, save browser profile data in same browser folder.
3. Some way to add the "Mute/Unmute tab" option on context menu of tabs in Pale Moon?
4. Instead open a the Downloads window I want open the "about:downloads" option (in a new tab) pressing "Show all downloads" from context menu of downloads icon, is possible set this on pale moon?

If you think I should better create a topic dedicated to all that, let me know.

about name ideas, why not something like "Tale Moon", you know, think on Pale Moon 27 in XP was things from an tale hehe.

Watch my github page

For now it is no difference with regular Pale moon except H264 support for xp based on lavsplitter ffmpeg. Things about tabs you can do same way as for original.

Hi, thanks a lot for the work, any binary for download with the h264 support?

I have a question, youtube works fine in normal mode, but when i go fullscreen, the status bar is always visible in left corner (This problems not happen in latest official palemoon), and is too slow, like is not using hardware acceleration.

Same happen in my desktop and laptop, both have a intel GMA950, desktop is a C2D 2ghz, laptop pentium M 1ghz


Youtube in firefox 52 works fine, no problem in fullscreen

Thanks a lot
