  it's 2024, and audio is still miserable on Linux

  and it's 2024 and the best you can get on new computers is... Realtek HDA

  I can't figure out why the firefox urlbar needs 800 different files and provider things .. you enter a url it sometimes shows autocomplete or search why is it super duper screwed up
• 02:45
  nsITobin
  modern mozilla sucks

  nsITobin hello
• 16:34
  nsITobin
  I was supposed to test the patchqueue for 253 release on the linux today correct?
• 16:34
  nsITobin
  not wip
• 16:55
  frg_Away
  nsITobin yes would like to see if elfhack works.
• 16:57
  nsITobin
  well the long part will be cloning and applying the queue .. I think I can just do LDFLAGS=whatever in mozconfig and it should work
• 16:57
  nsITobin
  but i dunno
• 16:57
  nsITobin
  I was always told never to override that stuff
• 16:59
  frg_Away
  nsITobin maybe try without. As stated mozilla doesn't have it. Hope tha the latest fixes make this not needed but unsure.
• 17:01
  nsITobin
  frg_Away: do we have bugzilla.mozilla.org/1423822
• 17:03
  frg_Away
  yes
• 17:06
  nsITobin
  looks like just LDFLAGS= in mozconfig should be enough
• 18:26
  nsITobin
  frg_Away: I can already tell WIP has superior build system patches
• 18:26
  nsITobin
  vs release
• 18:28
  nsITobin
  kicked off
• 18:43
  frg_Away
  yeah but without the optional chaining and new regexp not much good
• 18:50
  nsITobin
  dpaste.org/qddGY/raw
• 18:50
  nsITobin
  frg_Away:
• 18:51
  frg_Away
  wip or 2.53?
• 18:52
  nsITobin
  2.53
• 18:53
  nsITobin
  when I had elfhack on in wip it built fine but wouldn;t package
• 19:09
  nsITobin
  frg_Away: anything else you want me to try other than --disable-elf-hack?
• 19:10
  frg_Away
  nsITobin put another patch in but would only work if linker was bfd during your failure. Otherwise it probably needs updated ldflags as buc suggested.
• 19:13
  nsITobin
  i changed it from export LDFLAGS= to just LDFLAGS and reran configure and build and it finished but then same error i had before
• 19:13
  nsITobin
  without it enabled
• 19:14
  nsITobin
  I don't actually know how or where to set this '
• 19:14
  nsITobin
  that is the chief issue
• 19:14
  frg_Away
  nsITobin with latest patches from just now?
• 19:15
  frg_Away
  in mozconfig export LDFLAGS="..."
• 19:17
  nsITobin
  yeah that is what I did with patches cloned an hour or so ago with an elfhack patch at qtip
• 19:17
  nsITobin
  now in the spec file for fedora it seems to be exported to the environment not via mozconfig
• 19:17
  nsITobin
  src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/seamonke…/blob/rawhide/f/seamonkey.spec#_384
• 19:19
  frg_Away
  should dend up the same in this case. ymmv
• 19:20
  frg_Away
  afk for a while
• 19:20
  nsITobin
  well i don't think we ever used the elf hack in UXP or earlier.. MAYBE access2godzilla did on 24.. so I dunno if it is important to seamonkey
• 19:21
  frg_Away
  I don't thinbk it ois but just want to know if it works :)
• 19:22
  nsITobin
  i would assume so in fedora builds
• 19:22
  nsITobin
  since its being accounted for
• 19:22
  nsITobin
  but I build "from scratch" first and foremost
• 19:23
  nsITobin
  dpaste.org/69qYS/raw
• 19:23
  nsITobin
  this is my mozconfig
• 19:24
  nsITobin
  I'll rerun the patch queue for the updates made 10 minutes ago after i test to make sure i didn't screw it up
• 19:26
  nsITobin
  My professional opinion as a Mozilla Build System "expert" is .. we are lucky it works at all. BUT least the toolchain is no longer steeped in whispers and dark incantations
• 19:34
  nsITobin
  frg_Away: with flags exported i get build failure
• 19:34
  nsITobin
  like in the pastebin
• 19:34
  nsITobin
  k grabbing updated queue
• 19:45
  nsITobin
  hi grey_gandalf
• 19:46
  grey_gandalf
  hello!
• 20:22
  njsg
  EHLO
• 20:29
  nsITobin
  hi njsg
• 21:10
  nsITobin
  frg_Away: same issue
• 21:11
  nsITobin
  with flags exported i get a build failure during build without i get a package failure
• 21:13
  nsITobin
  so unless buc can share some additional details on what I should do.. elfhack is busted for me
• 21:43
  frg_Away
  thanks for testing. Maybe buc can take a look lster.Notloosing much sleep over it. Works without.
• 21:45
  nsITobin
  frg_Away: no problem
