Release Firefox 5.0

[hdonk]

Hi all,


I've just finished building Firefox 5.0 release.


This time I've done it as an uncompressed ISO/pnd image, so it uses less memory when running - which helps a little with performance.


However as it's over 30Mb, it's only in the repo & not the app store.


There's no localisation as I've yet to figure out how to do it!


WebGL depends on GLX without some major mucking about, which I haven't yet achieved, but I'm still working on it.


You may have to delete the old .pnd version in your /pandora/whatever directory, as it's not clear whether 5.0.0.1 > 5.0.b3.0!

Thank you!

So you know, PNDstore considers 5.0.0.1 > 5.0.b3.0. Any number (eg: 0) is considered to be greater than any letter (eg: B) . But that's only how PNDstore handles it; there isn't a standard of which I'm aware, so other clients (eg: Milkyhelper) might use different logic.

Hi


Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe libffi is part of the codec pack. Try installing that first!

I have the codec pack installed and have the same problem.


Also, the PND doesn't show up in my menu. I had to run it manually in a terminal.


EDIT: Forgot to say thanks. Thanks!

Ok, I'll try to find out where libffi comes from...

 

[mcobit]

Yes, I have the codec pack instaled and it doesn't work. No icon in menu for me either

 

[hdonk]

Yes, I have the codec pack instaled and it doesn't work. No icon in menu for me either

I'll have a look later. I guess an upgrade PND is in the works

Thanks a lot! Can't wait to try this

 

[hdonk]

I have just uploaded a new .pnd, with a PXML generated from my new PXML generating perl script. This should fix the no-icon issue.


I've also included libffi in the .pnd, so no installations required.


Plz let me know of further problems!

Bad news.

Bl**d* hell. This is what comes of having so many different build environments around.


Will do a new version with libstdc++ in the pnd. Wonder how many others there are!

 

[hdonk]

New version in repo...


Can you try again please?

 

[darfgarf]

wouldn't it be better to build and test against a specific os version/hotfix, than including such basic things as libc in a pnd?


and won't there be problems if you use a different version of libc as whatever the kernel was compiled to use?

It's not libc - it's libstdc++, the c++ stl library.


And it is built against the latest released HF, however the build environment I'm using appears to import a later version of the c++ library, hence the errors. If it was as fundamental as a libc mismatch, then I would worry about it.


Edit: Removed redundant word.

 

[fr4n]

It launches fine now. Thanks for the hard work!


I'll give it a good once-over when I have more time.

 

[mcobit]

Yes, launches and works fine now. Thanks for fixing! Also works nicely and in my opinion a bit faster than ff4.

 

[superatarian]

I appreciate the upgrade. All works fine. I did have to re-install the add-ons. Thanks again....
