While some custom scripts from AUR may be buildable for ARM architecture this is entirely unsupported by the AUR script maintainer - unless the maintainer has added the architecture to the buildscript.
Thank you for discussing the topic of installing Firefox ESR for ARM!
But I’m newbie in Linux, and it’s hard for me to understand the complicated things are you discussing about.
But I still want to know if it is possible to install Firefox ESR. And if so, how.
Explain this to me in more detail, please.
I have not forgotten about you. This mourning I had to start the compile all over again with a device with more ram. So far it seems to be doing ok. I will post something when I know if it compiles or not. It is about 3/4 done.
This is turning into a projrct. The PKGBUILD compiled an instrimental browser then clobbered it then turned around and is compiling an optimized browser. So still churning along…
Speaking of… These packages has been built and compiled with libs on the unstable branch. I doubt that this firefox-esr will run on the stable branch. Your best bet is to switch to and upgrade on the unstable branch. It might work on the testing branch.
As I agree with what others has been saying here. I am not going to maintain this package in the future and I have not tested this package. This is as far as I am willing to go.
Install the firfox-esr and your language pack with:
I do not know what branch you are so run from the terminal and see if firefox-esr will start up.
firefox-esr
If it does not start up and you see lib errors in the terminal then switch to the unstable branch then upgrade and reboot then try to run firefox-esr again.
Thank you so much for your great help!
Now I have a chance to switch from gluttonous Intel i3 to economical ARM S922x, which consumes much less power: 6 Wt vs. 60 Wt.
Why do you think that I need a Russian language pack?
I live in Ukraine, where heavy bombing and power outages are expected again this winter.
That’s why I need an economical computer that consumes little power and can long be powered by battery.
Dear friend, you helped me a lot with this, thank you very much!!!
However, Manjaro works well and quickly on it.
But there are shortage with the necessary softwareю
You have already made the necessary Firefox, thank you very much.
Dear friend, I’m sorry for my impudence
Could you do one more important favor?
To completely switch from Intel to ARM, I also need an Sylpheed email client.
It is too in AUR, but does not want to installed in Manjaro ARM.
Yes, I know that there is a Claws client, but he doesn’t suit me.
Could you also assemble a Sylpheed for the Manjaro ARM?
And then I could work with him too!
