Hi,

I was able to get ArcitcFox browser running on Alpine Linux! Finally!
No screenshot attached because of ML limits. https://pastes.io/K2GRnS8j
(Do you have a preferred image paste?)

I have some local changes in the build system.
Most of them come from gcc15 having more warnings.

there are some "caveats".

1) for libstagefright I had to add:
media/libstagefright/moz.build

+    DEFINES['_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE'] = True


2) browser won't start because
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file 
/home/multix/code/Arctic-Fox/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/bin/libxul.so:
Error loading shared library libmozsqlite3.so: No such file or directory 
(needed by 
/home/multix/code/Arctic-Fox/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/bin/libxul.so)
Couldn't load XPCOM.


right now, I "hacked" setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the build directory.

It is strange, since  libxul.so   resides in the same directory as 
libmozsqlite3.so . What is different between Alpine here compared to 
e.g. Gentoo or Devuan?

A first guess would be that the linker doesn't look in current library 
or something similar.
