Pale Moon 28.0.0b1

Unread post by wicknix » 2018-06-26, 07:01

Read this first: viewtopic.php?f=1&p=144176#p144176
Requires OS X 10.7 or higher.

Download here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qbsn0V ... sp=sharing

Known issues: Customize window works but wont close forcing you to exit browser and relaunch to make it go away. Private browsing window missing min/max/close buttons and private browsing icon, but is now at least moveable via title bar. Everything else seems fine so far in my limited testing.

Cheers

Okay, so you confirmed the Customize problem.

A question for you, wicknix: What MacOSX SDK are you using that produces binaries compatible with Lion?
Off-topic:
And maybe someone knows... Was the missing private browsing icon issue introduced when BitVapor replaced the Mac theme in April/May 2015?

I'm building on a 10.7 machine with 10.7 sdk for both pm27 and pm28.

Cheers.

[Except for your Snow Leopard builds with the 10.6/10.8 Frankenstein SDK :lol:]

Okay, cool.

Keep up the good work, have a nice day!

Lol! The frankenstein experiments are done. I eventually found that the 10.7sdk fixed the snow leopard UI issues. :)

Finally, a version of Pale Moon (for Mac) that has draggable windows AND working restore session function!

If only it would give me a blank page every time I open it up.....

You can set that in preferences -> general -> startup -> show blank page.

How did I manage to miss that one???

Anyway, some problem with TV Tropes. Guess I need to tinker with about:config again and trick it into thinking I'm on a different browser. Cause I blame TV Tropes for this one.

Sorry for all the questions, but...

When I try to build UXP with Xcode 6.1.1, I get an error:

Code: Select all

ERROR: Only clang/llvm 3.6 or newer is supported.
Xcode 6.1.1 seems to have a version of apple-clang based on LLVM 3.5.

So, what version of Xcode and clang/LLVM are you using? Did you encounter this problem?

I can build fine with Xcode 9.1.

Yeah. Lions clang is outdated. You'll need to install macports ( macports.org ). It works similar to apt in debian. Install clang-6.0, ccache, libidl, yasm, autoconf213 and python27. Set your CC and CXX path to point to the new clang/clang++ ( found in /opt/local/bin ) and you'll be good to go. :)

Ah, okay, so Clang just needs updating. Thanks.

I was wondering what was going on, heh.

I guess I've taken this thread pretty far off the rails... :oops: But I am working with b1, so... :P

I updated clang, and Python, specified the new clang and clang++ in mozconfig, clobbered, and it built... But I can't get the resulting app to run on machines other than the one that built it.

First, mach package fails:

Code: Select all

$ ./mach package

$
Although palemoon-bin doesn't seem missing to me.
When I double-click the app on another computer (two tested), I get a window with an error:
"NewMoon cannot be opened because of a problem.

Check with the developer to make sure NewMoon works with this version..."
(Although it does work on the build machine.)

Show Package Contents and running the binary file doesn't work:

Code: Select all

exit;
dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/libmozglue.dylib
  Referenced from: [Path to the binary]
  Reason: image not found

Saving session...

...completed.

[Process completed]
Ideas?

I'll, probably over the weekend! I already fixed that for the previous moebius repo.

Packaging for Mac is busted in a few ways, and it is upto users like us to fix that. If we are fortunate enought, Pale Moon for Mac may become official this year.

Might as well bring up that this here site
https://cytu.be/r/TheBronyNetwork
(which streams Toonami every Sunday 10:30 PM EST) just does not work in this build of Palemoon. The stream just cannot load.

For reference, I do use NoScript, but I also have NoScript on Waterfox, and that browser runs the site.

If I remember I'll try to check it out when they're streaming. [Edit: Plays for me, my own build of 28.0.0b2, as well as sugis' 27.9.0.]

However, Waterfox and Pale Moon are different applications, with different platforms. They are similar, but not the same, and NoScript is known to be problematic in Pale Moon. Even when disabled, NoScript breaks things.

I've heard that uBlock Origin in advanced mode, uMatrix, and YesScript provide similar functionality.
