#2 Possibility of Mullvad Browser builds?

Open
opened 4 months ago by bishamon · 4 comments

Hello Holin,

I have tried to build the Mullvad Browser, which apparently is quite similar to Tor Browser, for my aarch64 laptop. Your Tor Browser builds work perfectly on my machine. Sadly I have not succeeded. Therefore I wanted to ask if there is a possibility that you can help. I need only the instructions, but I know that that is the hard part. Anyway, thanks for your Tor Browser builds. Very helpful.

Cheers

There have been a few requests for Mullvad Browser. I'll try to take the time to do the necessary changes. So far, I skipped it mainly because of the build time required to provide the packages.

Hello Holin,

I have been testing it for a few hours, I haven't found any issues yet. Works fine. If anything crops up over prolonged use, I'll be sure to give you notice.

In case you come around documenting the build process, I'd also be happy to test that on my hardware.

Cheers! And thanks a lot, happy to be able to use MB.

Hey @holin

I set up a fresh Fedora 39 aarch64 system and I get this message:

~/Downloads/mullvad-browser$ ./Browser/start-mullvad-browser --verbose
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/asahiuser/Downloads/mullvad-browser/Browser/libxul.so:
libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

The fix is to install the library: sudo dnf install dbus-glib Not sure if this is something that you can / want to improve for the build process.
