[Fx/Tb/Sm] RPMozley: 2012-03-17 [Release/OSX] (G3/G4/G5)

[RPMozley]

Thunderbird 3.0.8 optimised builds are up and running.



SeaMonkey 2.0.8 hopefully should be ready later tomorrow.

[RPMozley]

SeaMonkey 2.0.8 optimised builds are up, plus Thunderbird 3.1.4 builds are ready now.



Other builder's note: Using "make client.mk distclean" with Thunderbird 3.1.3+ fails badly and will leave your source tree unusable but "make client.mk clean" will still work ok.

[RPMozley]

And the last of the updates are complete, Firefox 3.5.13 PPC optimised builds are up on the download sites as of now. I will be updating my web site in a few moments time to show the latest info.

[RPMozley]

My optimised builds of Firefox 3.6.11 are available now.

Enjoy.

Oh, and TBird 3.1.5 will be available shortly, after I've uploaded them to the hosting sites.

[RPMozley]

Optimised Thunderbird 3.1.5 builds are up and hosted at both download sites.

[RPMozley]

SeaMonkey 2.0.9 optimised builds are ready now.



Firefox 3.5.14 and Thunderbird 3.0.9 still to come....

[RPMozley]

Ok, back to the start again. Firefox 3.6.12 optimised builds are available for your enjoyment.



I just hope there's no more quick security updates again after this. It really is annoying to spend time going through all the different builds and half way through to start all over again.

[RPMozley]

Thunderbird 3.1.6 builds are ready to download now.

SeaMonkey 2.0.10 will be uploaded to the file hosting sites later today, so be on the lookout.

[RPMozley]

Well it seems a few eagle eyed have already noticed that my optimised builds of SeaMonkey 2.0.10 are up, so for the rest of you here's your notice.

RPMozley, I would appreciate if you have any comments, especially on the optimization options. I wanted to compile Firefox for my Powermac G4 and I came up with the .mozconfig file shown below based on the information I could find on the internet. It works but I wanted to know if I could improve it for better performance. Do you have any recommendations?

Code: Select all

CXX="g++-4.2"

@ mrg666:

Well, all I can say is to look at the Mac OS X reference Library regarding optimisation options, if you haven't already done so. It's where I looked for options in my builds.
On the most part your mozconfig seems reasonable. You may want to remove "MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1" though as custom builders shouldn't really be using this, it's a Mozilla internal option to be used "in-house" only.

[RPMozley]

Firefox 3.5.15 optimised builds are ready now, if anyone is still interested in these builds.

[mrg666]

Thanks RPMozley. I am not distributing the builds. That is why I used the official branding. I am just building for my own use and fun. I will keep experimenting with the other options reading gcc manual which seems to have the same information in your link. Thank you again.

[RPMozley]

Thunderbird 3.0.10 builds are available from main file hosting site (FileFactory) as of now and will be up at MediaFire shortly, after I finish uploading them.

[valkraider]

I just wanted to say thank you for your builds. We do still use them.
