I just uploaded a new version (may2012) of my mozilla builds to incoming, they will show up in beta soon. What changed: It's still a -O3 build, but zlib and libimg are compiled with -O2 to avoid broken code. The javascript library is build with gcc -O3 to get a better result than previous builds with c99 -O1. I removed my sqlite3 fix in run-mozilla.sh, because of problems with helper applications. Release notes and patch are updated.
The result is noticeable faster than the current build and it is also more stable. Please test it and give feedback.

So far so good on the firefox version. Only have a few hours on it but at least there is nothing obviously wrong. We'll round these injuns up and be back in tim

Thanks again! I have had to use the fix to make it work. Now I'm testing the Firefox...

After one day of use I have had no problems with stability. I can confirm the speedup (O2 R10k/250, IRIX 6.6.27). Many thanks!

Two days use here, I'd say +1 for /current. Thanks, Mr Deigel sir.

C'mon you cowards ! Must be more than just jirka and me willing to take a chance ! This update is definitely no worse than the previous versions and could be a bit better. It seems like a few less crashes per week, although that's hard to document. Give 'er a shot and report back, puh-lease !!

Where is 'sqlite3ApiExit'?
I got this:





'sqlite3' from '/beta' is already installed.

That may actually be the problem, it might work without any nekoware sqlite installed. try

I've also tested this build of Firefox without discovering any problems - please make mine vote #3 for promotion to /current.

Oh, good point. I'll try with it along next hours. I'll add a new line into the ToolChest considering that.
Thanks in advance!

Do you really need sqlite ? I don't use it for anything else so just ditched it. Easier

I could not reply to that, even if my life depend on the exactness of such answer!
...I don't know ...with Nekoware I'm a bit radical ...I just install everything, as soon as some programme asks for it! I would say there is "something" installed on my system that asked for 'sqlite3' at some point and I just pleased it!

But I promise to try!

I used to tend that way but then we had a batch of bad software in /beta so now, unless I know I need it, forget it

It's easy to find out if you need it : just use swmgr to remove it. swmgr will give you a list of applications that require the one you want to ditch. If there's nothing in there that you love, out into the garbage with it !

Yup, and with 2x 9.1GB at the Octane I could not go too far anyway...



Sure, I know 'swmgr' announces it and prevents for any disaster! ...I just delayed the reply because I'm not at the Octane right now, so, I can chat, but no IRIX close to try anything!

I haven't had any problems since I uninstalled neko_sqlite3. I'd vote for /current if was added to the rules of the packages. Then at least it's plain obvious that this combination just doesn't work.

I'd still prefer a rebuild that had its own installation directory in the linked-in RPATH before /usr/nekoware/lib.
