[SOLVED] Thunderbird

Desiderius · 04-16-2021, 01:40 AM

Hi all

Yesterday I have decided to upgrade my RPI 4 to the latest version of Slackware ARM current by reinstalling a clean new OS using SARPI.

Everything reinstalled fine !

But I realize that I have no more the ESR version of Thunderbird !

Looking at my FTP site where I have downloaded the packages, there is effectively no more a Thunderbird package !

At the same time, I looked at the x86 slackware current and there , there is a Thunderbird package !

Is there a reason not to have it in the ARM version ?

Code:

xap/mozilla-thunderbird-68.12.0-arm-1.txz:  Removed.
  This no longer builds on ARM.  If you can get it to build, please
  send mozes@slackware a diff and I'll re-add it.

I'm going to try (possibly in vain) to get the latest Firefox building for ARM for the 15.0 release.
If it fails, I'm tempted to remove it; or keep it at the older ESR release.

I have repackaged Thunderbird for arm 32 bits from Debian and added two libraries older than the current one.

It works on my Diskio PI newly build with a Raspberry 4 8Go on which I have put Sarpi + Slackware current. I use KDE5/Plasma on it with the GDM desktop manager (SDDM is not working by default as Desiderius describe).

So for Thunderbird I have those SlackBuilds :
-------------------------------------------
https://github.com/BrunoLafleur/pbsl...ds/sbo/libffi6 (runtime lib for .so.6 with no includes or files which can have collision with the last version installed)
https://github.com/BrunoLafleur/pbsl.../sbo/libevent6 (runtime lib for .so.6 ...)
https://github.com/BrunoLafleur/pbsl...bo/thunderbird (version 78.8.0 - it seems they have more recent one I didn't test)

And it is working on KDE5/Plasma with the latest Slackware current.
