# makepkg-optimize
makepkg-optimizeAUR is a collection of supplemental tidy, buildenv, and executable scripts for pacman which provide macros for several kinds of optimization in the build() and package() stages.
## Installation
Install makepkg-optimize-mold(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/makepkg-optimize-mold/) and, to make optimizations available, install their backends: openmp, upx, optipng, svgo and mold
## Configuration
makepkg-optimize generates a redundant configuration file, /etc/makepkg-optimize.conf, from your current makepkg.conf configuration.
This file lists supplementary COMPILE FLAGS, BUILD ENVIRONMENT options, GLOBAL PACKAGE OPTIONS, PACKAGE OUTPUT options, and COMPRESSION DEFAULTS, all of which are disabled by default.
Some packages may fail to build with certain optimizations and over-optimization may cause problems for some programs--such as decreased performance and segmentation faults.
## Build an optimized package
After selecting your preferred optimizations, pass the configuration file when building:
- makepkg -c --config /etc/makepkg-optimize.conf
### Profile-guided optimization
Note: Profile-guided optimization requires that a package be built and installed twice. The first phase initiates profile generation in $PROFDEST/pkgbase.gen; the second moves them to $PROFDEST/pkgbase.used and applies them
## Build an optimized package in a clean chroot
Alternatively, makepkg-optimize can be used to build optimized packages within a chroot.
## Create a PGO cache ====
To use PGO, create a folder in the same place, inside and outside of the chroot, to store [https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov-Data-Files.html profiles]:
- mkdir -m 777 {"$CHROOT"/{root,"$USER"},}/mnt/pgo
Then edit CHROOT/root/etc/makepkg-optimize.conf and set PROFDEST=/mnt/pgo.
## Building with PGO
After the first building phase, bind the PGO cache:
- mount -o bind {,"CHROOT"/root}/mnt/pgo
- mount -o bind "$CHROOT"/{root,"$USER"}/mnt/pgo
Tip: Use fstab to bind these folders at boot.
