Re: Building Pale Moon for WinXP, SSE CPU
Posted: 2015-06-28, 23:34
I wish to report that I successfully built an SSE CPU, XP-compatible version of PaleMoon using the official repository.
I downloaded the source from the "25.5_Atom_RelBranch" branch (as a ZIP file; actually using git would probably work just as well).
I used the 1.10 version of MozillaBuild. Moonchild indicated in a previous post that this is the correct version to use.
I used Visual Studio Express 2012. In order to correctly pass the option to build a version compatible with non-SSE2 capable CPUs, I added "-arch:SSE" to the CL environment variable. Visual Studio 2012 and above by default target the SSE2 architecture.
My .mozconfig file looks like this:
Hope this is helpful to someone! Please be aware the Moonchild has posted a guide for building Pale Moon. This post is not intended as a replacement for his instructions.
