Package updated

Thank you @ultdev for the fix

ultdev commented on 2019-11-23 23:39

The build error is due to newer versions of glibc now providing a wrapper for gettid() (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1533969)

I've written a new patch and an updated PKGBUILD here:

Here's the error I found:

Yup, still failing, trying to find the actual error.

Vrakfall commented on 2019-11-19 17:03

It seems to fail to build once more. I'm throwing another try without much hope. I hope you can fix it real soon because I urgently need to access an IPMI server. I'm trying to dig into the why but I'm not really used to debugging firefox.

Muflone commented on 2019-06-22 21:11

package fixed and updated for GCC 9.1

figue commented on 2019-06-20 10:58

gcc9 brokes some mozilla code...

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1514781

Try to add:

export CXXFLAGS="-Wno-error=class-memaccess -Wno-error=format-overflow -Wno-error=stringop-truncation -Wno-stringop-overflow -Wno-error=attributes -Wno-error=deprecated-copy -Wno-error=pessimizing-move -Wno-error=type-limits -Wno-error=deprecated"
export CFLAGS="-Wno-error=class-memaccess -Wno-error=format-overflow -Wno-error=stringop-truncation -Wno-stringop-overflow -Wno-error=type-limits  -Wno-error=deprecated"

Edit: doesn't work... but the problem seems GCC9. GCC8 works fine.

I get the same error as Vrakfall. The actual error seems to happen at an earlier point:

Searching for this brought me to this thread in the Pale Moon (a Firefox fork) forum. There it was suggested that the issue may be that Pale Moon/Firefox may not be compatible with GCC9. And in fact, on my machine the update from GCC8 to GCC9 happened after the last time I built firefox-esr52.

Using the patch in the last comment seems to resolve this instance of the error. But compilation will still fail, as the same "error" is then found in another file:

33:24.72 /tmp/makepkg/firefox-esr52/src/firefox-52.9.0esr/js/src/jsapi-tests/testPrintf.cpp:58:20: error: ‘%s’ directive argument is null [-Werror=format-overflow=]

Unfortunately, I do not know enough about C++ or the GCC in order to write any patches myself or get GCC to ignore these errors. I tried adding Wno-error=format-overflow to the CPPFLAGS in the PKGBUILD, but it does not seem to have any effect.

I get this error when trying to build:

That firefox-esr52 would not fall on the pages with the error:

[Parent 3487] WARNING: pipe error (42): The connection was broken by the other side: file /builds-pkg/firefox-esr52/src/firefox-52.9.0esr/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 322

to file:

~ / .mozilla / firefox / *. default / prefs.js

add line:

user_pref ("privacy.trackingprotection.enabled", true);

For some sites, the problem still remains, for example:

https://comments.ua/politics/624633-privatbank-izmenil-nazvanie.html

Does not help: 

browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false
browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false

Who knows the solution to the problem?
