Hello guys,

Firefox 38 esr, build by Oracle Solaris Desktop Beijing Team is out http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/rele ... r/contrib/

I've been using several prev builds and they work fine on SB100/SB150 on Solaris 10. This one traps.
I've contacted author and he said that it traps in fontconfig and I should temporary get rid of the OpenCSW version of it.
I have a lot of things installed from OpenCSW, and bash for sure, and it symliked /usr/bin/sh (and I do not remember I've asked it) (also it wants some libs from /opt/csw), anyway, that's hard *just* to rename /opt/csw.
So I'm here.

Please share yours experience ;-)

temporarily remove the opencsw stuff from your env vars and run it again. if that should work you could create a very simple wrapper script for starting it up

r-a-c.de

Guys, as experiment shows, you (well, at least me) cannot just get /opt/csw/ out of all env vars, but if you can run at least something with /opt/csw renamed - firefox starts.

Also, it starts with plain firefox-bin command.

So it does *something* in run-mozilla script (or so).

dreadbit, are you aware that post-45, Rust will be required?

I'm not aware there's a Solaris/SPARC toolchain for it.

mila , there *is* fontconfig in /opt/csw/lib,

Code: Select all


   @blade150:/opt/csw/lib$ ls | grep fontcon
   

   libfontconfig.so
   

   libfontconfig.so.1
   

   libfontconfig.so.1.8.0

That was the words of Ginn Chen of Beijing Oracle Team - he said that fontconfig is the source of trap after seeing

Code: Select all


   pstack core

output, exactly

So the crash is related to fontconfig library.

No Rust toolchain yet... but someone just has to build it ... llvm already supports sparc64 decently enough to self host clang thought that is only for 64 bit. So, any further work to get Rust on Sparc is probably just getting it working rather than writing a lot of missing code.

So, anyway, I put this on my relatively virgin Ultra-3 (Solaris 10) which only had 2.0.0.x on it before and it traps just the same. I think it's something due to the build.

Temporary workaround: set gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled to false. You won't get WOFF fonts, but the browser doesn't crash, at least not for me.

If gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled is true (the default), just go to any site that has downloadable fonts. Ars Technica is a good example. If it doesn't crash on Ars and it looks like Firefox on another platform, then they probably work now.

Hi

I just tried 45.1.1 ESR but I had to revert back to 38.8.0 ESR since it was to sluggish.
Anyone that tried the same with better result?
