More bodgeOS happenings :D

https://blog.brixit.nl/bodgeos-pt-4-a-working-browser/

@kate who thought using an HTML templating engine to generate rust code was a good idea...

Figured out the weirdness with abuild "noarch" again and now I have a functional ARM64 repository of BodgeOS :D

Now I need to port some platform-specific stuffs to actually make it run on the actual hardware

@lanodan no idea, still running some 5.x kernel at the moment with alpine 3.15, it needed some workarounds at that release at least.

@monk still some deps to go to make a firefox build on it, but so far it seems to be slightly faster than the laptop I've been doing the x86_64 builds on, so slightly less than one firefox build per hour :D

This bad boy can make so many Firefox aarch64 builds

todo: package screenshot utility

It's alive, time to reinstall my Thinkpad

Why does firefox depend on wireless-tools?

@faassen this is for compiling rustc itself, not building things with rust

Ugh the rust build system is fucking fantastic /s

After a long time of building crashing with "do you have cmake installed?" instead of running that check at the start....

Has the recording for the 38C3 infra talk not been released yet or has there not been a talk about the infra this time?

Hmm that's so many bits

Got annoyed with reading strace output, so made a strace variant that just gives me the file open errors I want to see :)

Now back to my random scheduled debugging

Also like... this should just not happen right? This is somehow not finding a function defined in the same file.

@chfkch like.... how even

@chfkch but this can't be a code issue, this is a tagged release of Firefox and it compiles fine in other distributions...

@danhugo somehow the codebase has both python2 and rust in it, I would call it crazy yes

Firefox has a terrifying build system and completely ungoogle-able error messages :(

good luck finding help for the "style" module in firefox that's not random CSS help stackoverflow posts...
