What is the status for Solaris/SPARC ? I don't see much except x86/GCC in chromium.

We have patches to make it compile with Sun Studio on x86 and SPARC. (ipdl-tests passed on both x86 and SPARC, however, plugin container doesn't work correctly on SPARC. I'm going to fix it) The patch was not submitted to b.m.o. yet, still needs some polishing. I'm going to do so in this month. Meanwhile, you can compile Firefox with disable-ipc.

There were only two plugins on AIX: OJI Java plugin and a 32bit only AcrobatReader plugin. Without OJI since 1.9.2 there is not much left I would loose without --disable-ipc and out of process plugins on AIX.

--disable-ipc isn't working for firefox-6.0 anymore?

Support for --disable-ipc was removed.

When can we expect --disable-ipc to be re introduced with Firefox. Without this we cannot complete Firefox-6 and above builds on AIX. Seems minimal ppc support for ipc but AIX support is completely missing for ipc (no support for AIX even with gcc). We used to build Firefox on AIX earlier with --disable-ipc but now we cannot go any further than ipc. Please suggest some way forward.

If you use GCC you can much more easily reuse bits from MacOSX/PPC. Take a look at what the TenFourFox guys have done. If you can and will share your local patches, I can and will help you with testing and reviewing and maybe I would do 32bit port. Firefox 10 would be a stable source base for at least one more year.

I am submitting my changes for the chromium port for Firefox 64bit on AIX. The changes are compiled by gcc 4.6.1 . Please review the changes.

Chromium library changes for AIX

New file with added changes for 64bit Atomic ops

most of the code has been used from the Linux counterpart with additional changes required for AIX. Used attachments from defect #579757 for atomic ops in ppc 32bit for chromium and have extended 64bit PPC support in the file.

Comment on attachment 644233 [details] [diff] [review] Chromium library changes for AIX Please attach the output of |hg diff| or |hg export|.

Comment on attachment 644234 [details] Atomic ops changes extended for 64bit AIX For these too.

I do not have access to the AIX box now, thus would not be able to provide you the hg diff .
