FYI 118.0.1 need rust compiler 1.71 to compile.

See https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/writing-rust-code/update-policy.html

With rustup: rustup toolchain install 1.71 rustup default 1.71

Why those patches can't get into the main Firefox package? It would benefit much more people...

I really like the new media support matrix

@solarisfire The change you were referring to was made in the upstream firefox package, this AUR package tries to remain as close as possible to it.

I don't see how this can be due to an upstream change...

The issue is during the compile phase, and bugs.archlinux.org isn't for issues within the AUR.

Monitoring the compilation ld.lld is the process that starts using excessive amounts of RAM, and that's affected by lto.

Are you actually able to build this with <=32GB of RAM?

@solarisfire Was an upstream change in the firefox package, please report at bugs.archlinux.org instead.

solarisfire commented on 2023-08-01 16:15 (UTC)

Just tried clean building with 116 and it still eats up all available RAM on my system and crashing it...

I don't think this change was a good idea:

-ac_add_options --enable-lto=cross
+ac_add_options --enable-lto=cross,full
