Thank you, that would help me trying to build autonomously Arcticfox for PPC64 big endian on the T2080 devkit.
BTW, as many users already have a gcc already configured in their system, and that Arcticfox can be compile only using the old gcc-6, wouldn't be better to specify in the configuration to use gcc-6?
I will try and change the following line in the .mozconfig from
export CC="gcc -flax-vector-conversions -O3 -falign-loops=16 -falign-functions=16 -falign-labels=16 -falign-jumps=16"
export CXX="g++ -flax-vector-conversions -fpermissive -O3 -falign-loops=16 -falign-functions=16 -falign-labels=16 -falign-jumps=16"
to
export CC="gcc-6 -flax-vector-conversions -O3 -falign-loops=16 -falign-functions=16 -falign-labels=16 -falign-jumps=16"
export CXX="g++-6 -flax-vector-conversions -fpermissive -O3 -falign-loops=16 -falign-functions=16 -falign-labels=16 -falign-jumps=16"
FYI, I have also added in the .mozconfig the following line to specify how many core should be used for compiling
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-s -j4"
Finally, you may find below some useful command you may want execute after the compilation is completed.
To run the freshly compiled executables
./mach run
To generate a package containing Arctifox
./mach package
The generated package will be in
mybuild/obj-af-dbg/dist/arcticfox-27.10.1.linux-powerpc64.tar.bz2
