Summary

Integrate the following patches from our Linux friends:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/void-linux/void-packages/master/srcpkgs/qt5/patches/0089-webengine-ppc64.patch
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/void-linux/void-packages/master/srcpkgs/qt5/patches/0090-chromium-ppc64le.patch
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/void-linux/void-packages/master/srcpkgs/qt5/patches/0091-chromium-ppc64-musl.patch
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/void-linux/void-packages/master/srcpkgs/qt5/patches/0092-chromium-ppc64-be.patch
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/void-linux/void-packages/master/srcpkgs/qt5/patches/0093-chromium-v8-elfv2.patch

0091-chromium-ppc64-musl.patch is called such that it seems it's only for musl, but it has fixes for all non-glibc libc's.

All those patches were modified, so that we don't carry linux-only patches. I also had to add some things.

Since we use WebEngine's ICU we also need to appriopriately change pkg-plist.

According to the information I got, V8 uses features that are only available on POWER6 and above, so this won't work on Macs.

I have tested that it works on my Talos.

Test Plan

Run some ports that uses WebEngine.

Unfortunately even with all this I still get a stage error:

[and so on, for ~200 more lines]

Are you building on ELFv2? Can you attach Poudriere log?

In the meantime we already have 5.13.2 -- you should probably reabase.

I'm a bit scared by the amount of further patches -- it will likely mean that on every upgrade of the port at first only amd64 will surely work, and ppc support will likely get broken often :(

I now confirmed that WebEngine works on powerpc64. I can start Otter Browser.

I already built 5.13.2 - there are no problems with patching and building. The patches posted here work.

We will probably be able to take patches from Linux, just need to make them suitable for FreeBSD. It takes some time, but it's not like writing them from scratch. Linux/ppc64 guys also want Chromium and WebEngine.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Nov 9 2019, 8:46 PM

Revert node.py patch. Our current approach works fine.
Use better approach for installing icudtb.
Merge old patch for aarch64 with the new one for powerpc64 (previously I removed the aarch64 part).

This revision now requires review to proceed.Nov 9 2019, 11:06 PM

Also move .if in post-patch to not create empty target.
