More precisely, upstream insisted that their in-tree jemalloc be used instead of the system's one, but agreed with the requirement to link against libc++ (since Pale Moon's platform indirectly depends on libraries containing C++ code). Official branding is granted in compliance with Pale Moon's redistributionĬonfirmed by the owner (Moonchild see for the relevant discussion on Pale Moon's forums), since build options were not modified beyond what is necessary to get a stable build on FreeBSD. (And, obviously, please advise if you think the current Makefile is doing things wrong.)Īttaching a patch with the latest version with official branding enabled. So please wait until I confirm that the patch is final before importing into the tree. This is by design, and not bad by principle, and personally I won't dispute this precise case. See the comments in the Makefile (see also bug #211154).Īpart from jemalloc, all bundled libraries are used in preference to our versions in the ports tree. This is necessary since linking against libstdc++ while one of the dependencies is linked to libc++ causes a crash for this codebase. So USE_GCC is set, but then LDFLAGS and CXXFLAGS are appended to in order that g++ links to (base) libc++ (static link against libgcc.a).

GCC 9 was chosen since it is our current default and is (almost) officially endorsed upstream (and stability seems perfect so far). The build needs some specific versions of GCC (executables crash with base clang on 12). Small description: 'Open-source web browser mostly using Pale Moon(TM) code' I'll post a comment giving the go when the process finishes (the patch may need to be modified before reaching this point). I'm in the process of liaising with upstream in order to verify that there is no branding or redistribution problems with the submitted port. This port depends on the new Tauthon port I submitted here: bug #251019Įven when this dependency is imported, please *do not import the patch yet*.

Here is a port of most of Pale Moon code with unofficial branding. Version 29.0.1, -CURRENT build hopefully fixedĢ9.4.3 + GCC/libc++ 13 compilation problem workaround Version 29.0.1: Patch against the ports tree
