I've been trying to get the updated FF (38.2) to build on RSEL6 for the
last
couple of weekends, and while it seems to have built fine on RSEL7, the
build
on RSEL6 is extensively problematic. Under EL6 it seems to have to bring
along both it's own python (the build process seems to require 2.7) and
gcc
(seems to require at least 4.7, but brings along 4.8 that is broken on
ARM).
(There is something that wants me to facepalm at the fact that Mozilla
developers consider a 1 year support cycle from release to be
"extended",
as in ESR (Extended Support Release). No, there is no digit missing in
the
"1 year" part.)
I fixes the ARM build of GCC, fixed the configure options (jemalloc
seems to
still not work on RSEL6) but eventually got stuck at the point where
libmozglue.a part of the build fails, complaining about some of the
components of previous build stages missing (arm.o?).
Jacco, have you had any success in getting the EL6 version to build?
Anyone
else?
This is a bit of a problem since the last version that I managed to
get to build on RSEL6 has some serious security issues.
