kuruu Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 All I am doing for FireFox is just downloading the OS X binary from the Mozilla site and running it. Works like a charm. but ppc is slow. =( you want fast! intel builds are fast! we all want fast! if i use winxp to load a page it is instant. in os x (on a real mac or on this inte mac it's slow =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixShot Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Sure, its a little slow to fire up at first, but then after that it works fine. If video acceleration was working for Nvidia cards, it would be like having an Intel build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If video acceleration was working for Nvidia cards, it would be like having an Intel build. Please don't tell us that using an application with rosetta is "fine". It's always better to use a native app. It's at least twice as fast. The thread is about x86 version, the forum is called "Porting Applications". So please no more "tips" like this. Sorry for being rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixShot Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Well you may oppose to it, but I am sure others won't. I'll leave the mods to make those decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pet1 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 How can one get flash to work with this build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pu7o Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 You don't, unless you can find a flash binary compiled for x86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myzar Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 now that https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312929 has been fixed you can build from branch too if you want or care, that bug was the reason that all your branch build were refusing to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Yes, unfortunately some of us are still experiencing this non-starting bug with the 10/21 build.. haven't yet tried all the options, so there may be a solution, but for now, it doesn't work for me.

Pu7o Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Well, it does compile, and it does run, but it seems to be extremely unstable (It crashes in almost all webpages). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flibblesan Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I just compiled 1.5rc1 but it crashes on the startpage. I can browse slashdot and news.bbc.co.uk fine though :s edit: it crashes randomly, actually. Must be damn Gecko again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archi386 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 the latest version binary is dated November 9 (DeerPark.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin) when I try to run the DeerPark.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox script in Terminal (or the firefox-bin binary directly) on my 10.4.1 system it says "Bad executable (or shared library)". I assume it is for 10.4.3 since the binary format changed. Is there a way to get the older binaries compiled for 10.4.1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
