@roytam look this too, may be want to apply https://github.com/ManchildProductions/MyPal/commit/3425aa130a9fc547e77e1575c59ece2f518c4db3 it fixes https://github.com/Feodor2/Centaury/issues/35

1. Hardware Certainly more powerful computer you have, more faster building your will get then, consider two cores CPU and 4G RAM will be sufficient. Also i suggest to have two hdds, the first for source, compiler, build tools and the second for output. 2. Virtual drive If you have more RAM it is good to make virtual drives, no need second hdd then. Why this you ask, so building things such as browsers put heavy stress on the hdd, with ramdrive you save hdds life and increase building speed greatly. For last time i used 10gb drive for all stuff except compiler 3. Software 3.0 OS For msvc build win7+ is required,, and assuming you have x64 3.1 Git Download at https://git-scm.com and install, i did not try portable, but you can i think. 3.2 Compiler I do not like regular Visual Studio, with its junk and onlineness requirement, so i do not use it. Good Microsoft cares for me too, and made available good build tools without junk. They are in the iso file, and ready for usage anywhere, no need to do install. Download, unpack or mount iso. EWDK with Visual Studio Build Tools 15.6 May want to delete files vctip.exe in "Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.13.26128\bin\Hostx64\x64" and same on x86, they leak data to internet (spyware and telemetry) 3.3 DirectX SDK Download june 2010 and install 3.4 Mozilla build tools i use version 3.2 But for building on winxp the latest version is 2.2 You are to craft own bat file for use with alternate compiler.

Building launch your bat file inside mozillabuild (look 3.4) assume you source folder in C:\dev\uxp type cd /c/dev/uxp then enter type .\mach build then enter So it begins, if you set another destination drive building will stop with message: 1:23.14 ValueError: path is on drive c:, start on drive d: 1:23.18 *** Fix above errors and then restart with\ Well, let them fix: edit the following file d:\dev\uxp.32\_virtualenv\Lib\ntpath.py go to the lin 527 and put # signs, this will cancel the stupid code # else: # raise ValueError("path is on drive %s, start on drive %s" # % (path_prefix, start_prefix)) Keep then _virtualenv to not bother with this again If you get error you can look for details in D:\dev\uxp.32\.mozbuild\last_log.json That's all for now, happy building...

there is no any war between "evil xp users who steal code" and "honest caring Moonchild(ish) devs" there is just Tobin with his paranoia thinking everyone are against him. Palemoon has turned into a cult that attack against anyone who even raises finger against them, question anything they do or even as simple as working to improve their code and haunt them forever. And do not get me wrong. Palemoon code itself been most part very solid and in my opinion what web browser should be, not like bloat I mean firefox is. It is also last that supports java and flash that I need use sometimes to access older network equipment or other. Many say it is bad since "uses old render engine, got security vurneabilities, does not work with Netflix, or cannot be used with online im clients to voice". There is simple reasons why voice wont work and Netflix wont either, it lacks EME DRM antifeature support and webrtc which are privacy and security risk. And for security, any browser got vurneabilities and most are related to webassembly and javascript and cannot be patched so only way protect is limit allowed javascript to minium with Nmatrix or similar. Render engine is old and slow is because HTML5 and javascript that been built around google chrome for most parts. It is done on purpose to make chromium look better. It is like Internet Exploiter back in day. If web browser was what they were just program that downloads documents from online and renders them on screen like originally intended for, only slowness reason would be bad optimisation of code on browser itself. HTML stands for The HyperText Markup Language and HTTP for HyperText Transfer Protocol and that is what it purpose was originally. I am not saying there cannot be pictures or media, but Media and anything else should be handled by standardised plugins and used only if absolutely neccessary. That way anyone could do a browser themself and we would have real competition. But big companies abuses web standards and do not want competition. It is sad to see internet go way it was never meant in first place. To centralised place with only few giants. Well enough ranting from issues of internet and modern browsers If I was developer of browser or other, I would be happy if someone was able port it to platform I was unable to (I guess first need have real not artificial block of compability) and would adopt it to mainstream some point or build special version with fixes to it, not haunt developer down, but I guess I am open minded and not part of any production with word child in it. Developer behavior causes peoples not to like project no matter how good and reliable the code is, since human tends to hate things if person that they do like is involved. That causes Palemoon to loose users and eventually die away totally. Stop while you still can Moonchild(ish) and issue public apology from hostile behavior toward peoples and there is hope for project to become popular. Also if they hide source code stop recommending using of their products since "spyware concern" since without source code cannot evaluate for spyware and other issues. Word like that is going cause lot backslash to devs, escapilly on linux community. I am happy from efforts of Feodor2 and Roytam1 and anyone else who makes softwares for XP users. For long time I though was last person on earth who did not want get "latest and (not) greatest" Windows and wanted choice of OS to be thing. FF52 started suck real bad on many sites I needed use daily wanted or not, then stumbled this board and projects done here and was able to use OS I wanted better than ever before and share my knowledge with others who may need it. I may not be programmer but I got good technical knowledge.

A free advice from an old school dude : 1- Just buy a dedicated network card [not intel] and this will prevent ME from going online . I can send you a link to a good German store (approx. 5-12 Euro). 2 - Also , you need to disable the onboard intel LAN in your BIOS. 3 - Realx and Enjoy . P.S. Not sure if this trick will still work with the modern systems. I do not have any. My "latest" is from from 2013 and the trick works on it.

@ArcticFoxie If they keep wasting so much energy and time on posturing and other nonsense instead of spending it on browser development, remaining viable will definitely be a problem (even if we discount the negative PR). Blaming others for causing this waste doesn't make it any less of a waste. I'd be surprised if they got a lot of development done over these past few weeks, meanwhile the majors keep plowing ahead. Like I've said before, as a downstream user I'd very much like to fully support them, but they sure make it as difficult as humanly possible... I haven't paid much attention to the tale of BNavigator, but I don't really see how @roytam1 could have stolen Tobin's thunder by doing builds of his pre-release software. AFAIK he hasn't been claiming that he's the author of the software or targeting the same user segment. Personally, I'd take it as free preview advertising. I'm not sure you can call dibs on open source software while procrastinating with your release for many years, not after you've made the source public in the first place. As for @feodor2, don't worry about him losing all hope. He's apparently trying his hand on post-Quantum Firefox now, so at least in theory this may yet work out for the best as far as us XP fans are concerned. As much as I like XUL, having a working browser is more important, and I'm not keen on any Chrome (despite you guys doing very hice work on cleaning up 360 ).

It's not a knee-jerk reaction. This has been brewing since 2017. I fully support Roytam and hope that Feodor2 hasn't succombed to some form of "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate". But at the same time, despite likely being in the minority here, I also fully support Moonchild Productions remaining a viable browser alternative "for the masses" (XP is not "for the masses", despite my prejudice towards XP Forever!).
