I managed to build Pale Moon on uclibc-ng, but it's flaky and freezes |
| 2 |
soon after starting. My first attempts to start it were greeted with... |

|

|
| 5 |
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/waltdnes/pm/palemoon/libplc4.so: |
| 6 |
File not found |
| 7 |
Couldn't load XPCOM. |

|

A bit of Google searching found the suggestion to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
| 10 |
first, e.g... |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/waltdnes/pm/palemoon /home/waltdnes/pm/palemoon/palemoon |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
That gets further; Pale Moon starts up, but freezes soon thereafter.. |
| 15 |
Here are the error messages from the xterm where it was launched from... |

Notes... |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
1) The part between the two "*************************" is repeated 5 or |
| 38 |
6 times before Pale Moon freezes. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
2) /usr/lib/libc.so is not an ELF file, because it's a *TEXT FILE*!!! |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
[UCLIBC][root][/] cat /usr/lib/libc.so |
| 43 |
/* GNU ld script |
| 44 |
* Use the shared library, but some functions are only in |
| 45 |
* the static library, so try that secondarily. */ |
| 46 |
OUTPUT_FORMAT("elf32-i386", "elf32-i386", |
| 47 |
"elf32-i386") |
| 48 |
GROUP ( /usr/lib/uclibc_nonshared.a libpthread_nonshared.a |
| 49 |
/lib/libc.so.0 AS_NEEDED ( /lib/ld-uClibc.so.0 ) ) |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
3) The build process to compile Pale Moon had initially failed early on, |
| 53 |
because it couldn't find /lib/libc.so.6, so I made one. It's actually a |
| 54 |
symlink pointing to libuClibc-0.1.0.22.so, the same file that |
| 55 |
/lib/libc.so.0 points to. |
