358 sats \ 12 replies \ @siggy47 19 Oct 2022 \ on: Impervious Launches Their P2P Lightning-Enabled Internet Browser bitcoin
I will certainly give this a try, but I do believe there was a lot of fud/skepticism around this project when it was announced at Bitcoin 2022. Can someone fill me in on the perceived issues?
A big issue was the fact that the source code was not public. It appears that is is now though: https://github.com/imperviousai
Would be good to know if the browser can actually be built from the repo, as it should ideally be..
EDIT: am in the process of following the build steps here, all good so far: https://gitpod.io/github.com/imperviousai/imp-browser
I can see now that it's based on Firefox, nice to have a new browser that isn't chromium based

Probably a missing dependency or something obvious / innocuous, but I don't have time to investigate.
If anyone would like to contribute a small but useful PR to the repo, there is a missing carriage return in the README here:
MOZCONFIG=/path/to/imp-browser/brands/impervious/mozconfig ./mach build # start build

Let us know if you managed to finish the build

I'd missed this in the log (probably the docs should be updated for this also):

To add git-cinnabar to the PATH, edit your shell initialization script, which
may be called ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile, and add the following
lines:
export PATH="/home/gitpod/.mozbuild/git-cinnabar:$PATH"
Then restart your shell.
The next error was:

These appear to be fairly typical issues when setting up a new build but don't have time right now to keep investigating

Just paid you 420 sats to get it done ;)

Will you be submitting commits to Mozilla? (Yn):
which appears to be a dependency issue. So I tried again with the second option for Firefox (opt 2) and got a new error:
0:06.05 ERROR: Cannot find a wasi sysroot. Please give its location with --with-wasi-sysroot. Or build with --without-wasm-sandboxed-libraries.
*** Fix above errors and then restart with "./mach build"
