Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle

Aaah it seems that I cant compile it. Tried a billion times v17 for that 1 week+ that past but I always run into errors. Mozilla-beta(v18 and up) cant be compiled at all beacause Maemo SDK has one version of gcc and mozilla requires newer than that...

props for the work though! I'll give it a go once I get the fennec_17 ;)

Thank you.
The site had some issues, but I think that it's fine now.
Can you please try again?

Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle

Hey all :) Today I build Fennec 18 for our beloved N900 and now Im writing this through it. I made a quick benchmark comparison between it and MicroB and the results are ~7700 ms (fennec 18) and ~21000(microB) - SunSpider Benchmark which shows that Fennec 18 is ~3x faster than MicroB. But here comes the problem - screen updating & scrolling in v18 are bugged which is very irritating. For example you want to scroll down - you drag your finger across the screen and expect the page to move with it, but it moves it when you take your finger away from the touchscreen. The build I made is very basic ( 5-6 lines mozconfig file) but I will try to make others(1 build takes ~4 hours...) with some optimizations and see what will come out :)

Edit: I cannot distribute it because its with official branding

Edit2: Does anybody know where I can get gstreamer 0.10.33+ for the Maemo SDK so I can build Fennec with gstreamer support?

Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle

I've currently got an old (very old) version of Fennec v7.1 (just never bothered updating).
I've now got Vladislav's catalogue set up (as per the guide linked to in wiki), so I'm being told by fapman there's a new version available (v17.01).
I'm given the option to upgrade but fapman then tells me it's failed because there's a problem with my connection (highly unlikely) or there's a problem with my catalogues. If it's finding the new version then I can't se how the fault lies there either.
Any ideas?
Thankees.

Seems gst-0.10.33 needs glib >=2.22. More pressure on: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1237356

These are armel packages, for the maemo SDK we need x86 and yes compiling gstreamer needs newer than glib2.0... :p

Edit: Now Im going off to work and I left the PC to compile Fennec with some optimizations but still without gstreamer support, hopefully there will be no errors so I can upload it and you will be able to test it :)

Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle

Here is Fennec 18! Still scrolling is bugged and it is not suitable for everyday use (which is my purpose-to replace MicroB!) fennec_18.0_armel.deb - 14.7 MB

Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle

hello,
Sorry I'm a newbie but is this an unofficial update for firefox or is it a completely different application ?
if it is firefox, will it replace the version I currently have on my phone ?
btw nice post thank again !

2013-01-11 18:18

Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle

Yes, this is unofficial update of Firefox for Maemo (Fennec) It will replace Fennec/Firefox in your phone! This build is for testing because it has a bug in the scrolling so you will be much likely to want to revert to your current version of fennec.

I would recommend you to install it through terminal

Code:

sudo dpkg -i /path/to/fennec_18.deb

and post the output here

I have tried your command but change 'sudo' by 'devel-su' :)

Are you using N9? This is for Fremantle (N900).

Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle

Quick reply...
Fennec 18 on Fremantle, for some reason, depends on thumb0 versions of libqt libraries. Ideally, there should be separate builds of Fennec 18 for non-CSSU Fremantle, for CSSU-stable, for CSSU-testing, for CSSU-devel and for CSSU-thumb. I have CSSU-testing installed.
Best wishes.

Edit: I just build Fennec 17 with the same compiling options I used for Fennec 18 and it doesnt have that scrolling problem, that means that Mozilla has made a mistake somewhere...

And I'm thinking of making my own thread to post fennec builds & such 'news' what do you think?

Mric	2013-01-12 21:28

Oups, very sorry I read too fast I was trying to install it on a N9.
By any chance do you know if Firefox for harmattan is still supported ?

I prefer XUL Fennec, but I will give you, for harmattan, this link Qt based Fennec (Firefox).

Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle

firefox 19

Re: Latest Firefox for Mobile (Fennec) for Fremantle

Due to the free hosting, I was using, my repository was down. I moved my blog to a paid hosting provider, so the repository is online again.
It looks like there is no acceptable free hosting provider for Wordpress.
As for the browser, I installed Opera 12.1 recently and it's by far the best Maemo browser I've seen

Mric	2013-02-05 16:55

Yeah totally agree with you, Opera is very good. Hope they will keep it updated.

Me too :)
Although it has one disadvantage - it does not support html5 video (the Maemo build).

Tanago-san, you are wrong. When you are compiling for ARMEL (=for real device), you should install armel.deb-packages to your scratchbox.

Now there are new glib, I'm trying to package newer gstreamer.

I'm also trying to compile fennec myself with these instructions:
http://www.vladislavonline.com/build...-on-maemo-sdk/

Code:

apt-get install autoconf2.13



hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release

hg checkout 8cdcad2877b91a0adcb2d06241a5df6e7bd7cf6c

export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z,norelro"

EOF



wget http://www.vladislavonline.com/data/maemo.patch

hg import --no-commit maemo.patch

make -f client.mk build_all

But I ended with error:

Code:

Any idea? Is there still some steps I have skipped?

It's strange that it is looking for a SSE2 library, the SSE2 instructions are multimedia extensions to the x86 instruction set.

Please note, that the patch (maemo.patch) from my website is intended for Fennec 17 and it might not work for 18.

Thanks, with this I got it compiled.

fennec with gstreamer (not handy deb-version, but can be compiled)
* Installed newer libglib-dev.deb (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...9&postcount=28 )

*gstreamer-0.10.33 from upstream
configure; make ; make install
(there might be bug in gstmessage.h:264: "error: comma at end of enumerator list")

*gst-plugins-base-0.10.33 from upstream
configure; make ; make install
(there might be linking-bug in test/examples/Makefile: drop 'encoding' from SUBDIRS and DIST_SUBDIRS)

*--enable-gstreamer to mozconfig,
-> compiles (didn't yet run it, needs libraries to the device also)
