Problems doing 32-bit linux builds Topic is solved

[Walter Dnes]

I'm working with 2 machines running 32-bit linux distros and GCC 6.4.0 ; a desktop (up-to-date Gentoo) and a laptop (CentOS 7.5). Since only 64-bit builds are offered for download, I have to do my own.

1) I keep getting gtk3 UI, on both machines, regardless of what I do. Pre-emptive answers... yes, I've already tried uncommenting the 3rd line in build/unix/mozconfig.gtk and deleting the rest of the file... yes, I've already tried --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2-x11 I'm attaching the mozconfig from the CentOS build. Right now, i"d be perfectly happy if somebody finds a stupid typo in it to fix the problem.

2) On my Gentoo machine, opening a profile does not open the homepage/whatever, hearkening back to... https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=19253 Since this is my "daily driver", not a "development machine", it doesn't have all the libraries to do a standard build. So I have to include

Code: Select all

ac_add_options --disable-dbus
ac_add_options --disable-gconf
ac_add_options --disable-gio
ac_add_options --disable-pulseaudio

to get a build done. Hopefully, those disables are not the problem.

1. Yes, indeed you have a typo. Default toolkit should be cairo-gtk2, not cairo-gtk2-x11. Following is what should be added to mozconfig to get a GTK2 build.

Code: Select all

ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2

There is no need to modify any code to change the widget toolkit.

If it helps, here is my full mozconfig for GTK2 style Pale Moon:

Code: Select all

#.mozconfig-gtk2
ac_add_options --enable-application=palemoon

mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j1"
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/../builds/pm-gtk2
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2

ac_add_options --disable-elf-hack
ac_add_options --with-pthreads

ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-updater
ac_add_options --disable-gamepad
ac_add_options --disable-webrtc
ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi
ac_add_options --disable-accessibility
ac_add_options --disable-safe-browsing
ac_add_options --disable-parental-controls
ac_add_options --disable-pulseaudio

ac_add_options --enable-devtools
ac_add_options --enable-jemalloc
ac_add_options --enable-strip

2. There was a frontend issue which used to stop UXP Pale Moon from initializing fully and not loading the home page. I submitted a patch yesterday for the same and it should be fixed now.

1. Yes, indeed you have a typo. Default toolkit should be cairo-gtk2, not cairo-gtk2-x11.

Sorry aboth the confusing message. The point I was trying to make is that I tried "cairo-gtk2" AND I later tried "cairo-gtk2-x11" out of desperation.

Following is what should be added to mozconfig to get a GTK2 build.

Code: Select all

ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2

There is no need to modify any code to change the widget toolkit.

If it helps, here is my full mozconfig for GTK2 style Pale Moon:..

I'll try the following. My build script defines environmental variables "cpucount" and "builddir" before launching mach. On the laptop I'll try...

Code: Select all

#.mozconfig-gtk2
ac_add_options --enable-application=palemoon

mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j${cpucount}"
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=${builddir}
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2

ac_add_options --disable-elf-hack
ac_add_options --with-pthreads

ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-updater
ac_add_options --disable-gamepad
ac_add_options --disable-webrtc
ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi
ac_add_options --disable-accessibility
ac_add_options --disable-safe-browsing
ac_add_options --disable-parental-controls
ac_add_options --disable-pulseaudio

ac_add_options --enable-devtools
ac_add_options --enable-jemalloc
ac_add_options --enable-strip
ac_add_options --x-libraries=/usr/lib

All the extra clutter may have interfered with what I was trying to do.

Thanks. I'll blow away the source and do a shallow "git clone" before trying a new build.

[adesh]

Oh, okay.
If that doesn't work, try removing "x-libraries" option. And of course, you do have all the GTK2 devel packages installed.

[Walter Dnes]

Thanks for the sample mozconfig. Finally fixed, although I'm still not sure what went wrong previously. I know I used "--enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2" before and ended up with gtk3. Maybe getting rid of a lot of extra clutter in mozconfig solved it. Where's the widget on the page to tick for the green checkmark ("Solved")? After a few last-minute changes, here's the config I used to get a working build that gives gtk2, and properly opens up the start page(s).

Code: Select all

#.mozconfig-gtk2
ac_add_options --enable-application=palemoon

mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j${cpucount}"
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=${builddir}
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2

ac_add_options --disable-elf-hack
ac_add_options --with-pthreads

ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-updater
ac_add_options --disable-gamepad
ac_add_options --disable-webrtc
ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi
ac_add_options --disable-accessibility
ac_add_options --disable-safe-browsing
ac_add_options --disable-parental-controls
ac_add_options --disable-pulseaudio

ac_add_options --enable-devtools
ac_add_options --enable-jemalloc
ac_add_options --enable-strip
ac_add_options --x-libraries=/usr/lib
ac_add_options --disable-dbus
ac_add_options --disable-gconf
ac_add_options --disable-gio

That's where I thought it was supposed to be, but it's not there. I may have stumbled over another bug. The following is what I see. Is this yet another case of fonts being (ab)used as icons, and biting people who don't have that specific font?

No, it isn't. (png) images are used for those buttons.

EDIT: I tried out Walter's forum permissions and lo and behold, indeed, there are no solve buttons for him... I'll have to see if I can find out why.

EDIT2: The permissions to mark topics solved on this particular board (for UXP PM alpha/beta) were set to moderator-only, so the topic starter couldn't mark it solved. I've changed that.
