I don't think this is true for the macOS build but the Windows binaries can be cross-compiled under Linux. The only downside I see to that is that it's not signed nor is there an installer generated. So it sounds more like this is just a decision based on time vs GNU philosophy.
Also, to the person that's hosting the unofficial binaries; it looks like your link to the source is broken: https://casualgamer.ca/index.php/download/55/ leads to a "Download does not exist" page. -Gary On Tue, Feb 20, 2018 at 10:21 AM, David Hedlund <[email protected]> wrote: > People wonder why Rubén Rodríguez discontinued Windows and macOS releases > for IceCat after version 38.8.0.
