hm does anyone have an idea why autoconf doesn't recognize --localdir ?

it just says "invalid option"

i tryed also "-l" but the same

(autoconf is version 2.69 on my system)

... "** Obsolete options

Support for the obsoleted options -m, --macrodir, -l, --localdir is

dropped in favor of the safer --include/--prepend-include scheme."

i refetched the code form the source tarball instead of gitlab... there are the old-configures of . and js/src included. for me autoconf/m4 doesn't work on the git sources. *compiling

why would you need any of that to build m-c or c-c

autohell is basically subserviant to mozconfigure as parts that aren't mozconfigure yet

scops are you using mach build or mach configure when you get the error?

mach build

but i compiled with the source tarball successfully :)

published my patches and build on github: github.com/codeandcreate/seamonkey-debian-arm64 / github.com/codeandcreate/seamonkey-debian-arm64/releases/tag/2.53.8-1

Looks like we need to backport Bug 1663863

it would be nice if someone with raspberry pi on a 64bit linux would also test it

my build runs nicely on my mnt reform (i.mx8)

scops: also, if we ever get around to updating the webrtc version we provide with 2.53 I think your building with webrtc will disappear. THe new version does not even have code in the moz.build file that tests for CPU_ARCH it all seems to depend on the FPU type.

👍️

till then i will provide builds/patches with each release i can compile :)

but I think if we can backport to the point where you need no patches and works wirh webrtc enabled I can try cross-compiling again.

so backporting bug 1663863 to fix any autoconf issues and uing a newer webrtc version that is more designed to build on arm64 and that Datetime code does not exist in current mozilla-central so figure out what bug did that and backport

4 bugs need to be backported for the autoconf issue. I am on it but need to run some other errands first.

frg_Away: that is fine.

I will try to figure out what is needed tofor the DateTime.js issue

and i am failrly certian that the can;t build webrtc issue just needs a new webrtc.

but if builds work with no changes with webrtc disabled I will go back to trying to cross-compile

or I might just add the include to avaiod the issue on the DateTime thing since it does not break anything with the other builds

the autoconf thing he put in to make his build work broke windows builds

which is very strange imho because it's just another option to search for the binary (it's also strange autoconf isn't found without " 'autoconf' " ô.o)

i think the problem is somewhere in find_program() ...

Thank you :-).

gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/334195 iiiinteresting?

they acknowledged that screwing over users on non-Chrome browsers is not exactly the most inclusive idea ever

that's... something?

(I would not host my code there anyway)

"We don’t support running GitLab with JavaScript disabled in the browser and have no plans of supporting that in the future because we have features such as Issue Boards which require JavaScript extensively."

wait a minute

you mean... it's not inclusive?

how can that be!?

sorry, a bit too cynical right now, so by BSL may be too high

Still better than GiggityHub's "go away, you don't form part of the healthy web ecosystem"

I mean, this kind of thing shouldn't really require thinking, should it? I understand some may prefer to make a different choice.

but that excluding some parties excludes some parties is kind of... well, it's not obvious, it's tautological

is their site still not inclusive, btw? it's not loading completely :-)

I'm using JustOff's addon, sadly :/

which unbreaks the site, and makes me feel empty in the inside

(BSL meaning blood sarcasm level, just in case that is confusing somebody)

"blood sarcasm level"

mind you if I steal that bit? :D

feel free to :-)

tomman The truth is these changes bore me to death. Feature of the day even better then feature of yesterday and we add a new one next day for you supa dupa great inclusive carbon free politically correct user experience. No one but a few nerds living IT can really keep up here and I am not one. I am just loosing interest with half baked junk put out by google and other big entities. I...

...always loved new gimmicks but the really new ones look like shiny glass marbles they want to sell to me. Like the Nike special edition sneakers. IT engineering is dead.

same here, basically

modern IT has made me lose my love to computers

I was an innocent kid prior to cellphones and social networks

now I'm That Old Grumpy Man That Yells At Clouds™

...and I'm not 40 yet!

tomman I am not giving these companies a dime. I still think this will collapse one day. All a big bubble.
