Arch Linux User Repository

Thanks for the heads up, barius.

It seems the precompiled palemoon-bin doesn't link against gconf, and gconf isn't listed as a required dependency in the Arch instructions at http://developer.palemoon.org/build/linux/, so I've added that change in.

FYI 28.10.0 compiles fine for me with gcc 10.1.0 in clean chroot

Not sure if relevant but I am also using 'ac_add_options --disable-gconf' in mozconfig.in to avoid the dependency on gconf (deprecated since about a decade). I've been using that for every build for the last 6 months, since gconf moved to AUR.

Thanks @WorMzy! Now it is working!

Yeah @WorMzy, I totally agree, and the people in this project are great, for working towards newer compiler support and all the other accomplishments during the last almost 5 years in which I've been using this browser and following the project. And yeah, gcc8 is the best choice we've got for now. Have a nice weekend y'all.

I've changed the compiler to gcc8 for now. It's somewhat heartening that upstream is working on gcc10 compatibility instead of reverting to their previous stance of only supporting gcc4 (or some equally antiquated compiler). Maybe in a release or two modern gcc support will be there.

Hi, I'm having a problem iwith installing palemoon. I got a error while makeing the package. Here you can see a picture about the error: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/345065713473421313/713777099126603796/unknown.png

Can you help me? thanks in advance

Well, good news! The devs have worked some fixes up so the codebase compiles with gcc10, as stated on the issue tracker on their repo [1]. I'm gonna wait with my 28.9.3 built with gcc9 for now. 1: https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/1531

-flto=2 is not working since the change to gcc 10, the build gets busted before linking libxul.so. Normal flags should work but I'm gonna test to find out. Has anyone built this with gcc 10 yet? Edited twice for clarification on the data. Gonna get back here to tie the knot completely.

sorry for the inconvenience, you suspect well, my tmp repertory was too small to building. Building very well. thanks

I'd need to see the full makepkg output, in English (see this) to be sure, but I suspect you aren't building with a clean source tree. Try using makepkg -C to start the build with a clean $srcdir.
