palemoon 32.5.0 build changes Topic is solved

[stefan11111]

I build palemoon using this .mozconfig(generated by an ebuild on gentoo):

Code: Select all

ac_add_options --enable-application=palemoon
ac_add_options --disable-updater
ac_add_options --disable-accessibility
ac_add_options --disable-gconf
ac_add_options --disable-webrtc
ac_add_options --enable-strip
ac_add_options --enable-install-strip
ac_add_options --disable-eme
ac_add_options --disable-gamepad
ac_add_options --enable-system-ffi
ac_add_options --enable-system-extension-dirs
ac_add_options --enable-system-pixman
ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2 -msse2 -mfpmath=sse"
ac_add_options --with-pthreads
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-jemalloc
ac_add_options --disable-dbus
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit="cairo-gtk3"
ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi
ac_add_options --disable-pulseaudio
ac_add_options --disable-precompiled-startupcache
mk_add_options PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2
mk_add_options AUTOCONF=/usr/bin/autoconf-2.13
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j4"
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/o

When building palemoon 32.5.0, this happens:

Did any build options change between 32.4.1 and 32.5.0?
Palemoon 32.4.1 built fine with this .mozconfig, and it is the browser I'm writing this on.
I see it complains about --disable-eme. Did the option do disable drm change?

Release notes say

Removed the last vestiges of EME/DRM code from UXP, since this will never be supported in any application building on it due to the media industry's draconic policies around FOSS.

I guess it complains about disabling something which doesn't exist anymore?

[Moonchild]

It's right there in your output

Code: Select all

0:03.46 mozbuild.configure.options.InvalidOptionError: Unknown option: --disable-eme

remove that from your mozconfig.

You can also comment it out, especially if you think you might have to build an older version of Pale Moon again for some reason and don't want to forget what the old option was.

Like this:

Code: Select all

# Used to build Pale Moon versions older than 32.5.0, don't use for anything newer.
# ac_add_options --disable-eme

I got kind of used to commenting out lines in my .mozconfig as Pale Moon evolves, especially since I do actually go back and build older versions for various reasons.

Still, I really probably should remove a lot of the cruft from my .mozconfig at some point... I have so many options that haven't been a thing for a couple of years. LOL.
