[Bug 1711337] Re: Firefox crashes at start on armv7L after 55.0.1 update
@jdonald Wow (& sound a hats being taken off). That really moves the boat forward - well done! I did wonder what it was that allowed arch to work, and had a hunch that it would be hiding in plain sight in their PKGBUILD file, if only I could understand it. Thank you for all that work - & your upstream fix intentions! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1711337 Title: Firefox crashes at start on armv7L after 55.0.1 update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1711337/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1711337] Re: Firefox crashes at start on armv7L after 55.0.1 update
I thought it might be useful for you folks who have compiling experience to compare the compiler switches used in the Trusty build for 57.04 with those from Arch 59.0 (from post #90), so I've listed them in columns (attached), after I attempted to pull the switches out of @herrtmison's screenshot (might be a few errors from that though). There are lots more switches in the Arch version... Perhaps a look at what's different may spark some ideas.. ** Attachment added: "Comparison of Trusty 57.04 compile switches w Arch 59.0" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1711337/+attachment/5090543/+files/Book1.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1711337 Title: Firefox crashes at start on armv7L after 55.0.1 update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1711337/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Chituc: I’m still running that build from my Debian aid environment so just checked now. It’s not showing those flags in about:buildconfig -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1711337 Title: Firefox crashes at start on armv7L after 55.0.1 update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1711337/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Chituc I don't know if this is a helpful idea, or not, but here goes. The problems are: 1 knowledge/expertise re compiling and linking specific to Firefox (sadly I can't help there - no experience) 2 Long compile times to iterate - you've asked if anyone has arm64 that could help. Re 2, would using arm64 in the cloud help? https://www.scaleway.com/ appears to offer an ARM64 server with 8 armv8 cores, 8GB memory, 200GB ssd on a pay-as-you-go basis (12euro a month). They have ubuntu images, but I'd expect it would require uploading your armhf build environment & some configuring.. Not sure how much RAM you actually need, but they appear to have larger RAM configurations, with more cores, at higher cost of course. Looking at their faq/servers page, it looks like the default ubuntu image is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but they also offer Ubuntu LTS 16.04 (Xenial) & Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesti) Performance isn't guaranteed though, as this is shared infrastructure, which is probably really designed for web services.. If this looks like it would make the difference in iteration times, I'd be happy to contribute. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1711337 Title: Firefox crashes at start on armv7L after 55.0.1 update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1711337/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@ Chituc Have been googling using clang to compile firefox. This link may be of interest: https://github.com/JanitorTechnology/dockerfiles/issues/86 see the last post, which indicates support for compiling using clang versions 3.9 through to 6.0. I see you're using 3.8... ** Bug watch added: github.com/JanitorTechnology/dockerfiles/issues #86 https://github.com/JanitorTechnology/dockerfiles/issues/86 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1711337 Title: Firefox crashes at start on armv7L after 55.0.1 update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1711337/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
