Hi. It does compile beautifully, indeed.
If and only if you have the right node-js installed. STrangely enough I had nodejs-lts-fermium installed - it did not compile with it. (wrong libicui library version) AS soon as I installed nodejs-lts-gallium, replacing the former, it compiles nicely.
icecat-102.13.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst built beautifully :-) Thanks
I've relocated patch outside. Hope this fixes build: 19c0c6c810d1
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
Aborting...
Cant solve the problem...
Running modification-aware sed: sed s/_PP// -i browser/branding/branding-common.mozbuild
Running modification-aware sed: sed /ifndef/,/endif/d -i browser/base/content/default-bookmarks.html /bin/sed: no input files ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting...
I received this error this morning while attempting to compile icecat.
@figue, tested it works. Once I have a chance i'm gonna report on gnu side.
Bascially -r xargs switch does nothing harmful, can't break anything.
Ok, I was able to build it with the changes mentioned. Note that the additional sed lines must be used outside the $_SPEED if statement block to apply to both kinds of builds (with and without _SPEED=y).
Something must have changed with the languages repositories, since the build without _SPEED=y doesn't work anymore (though it used to build a few days ago). Building in a clean chroot btw. I'm currently testing the build with the following changes to be applied to builds with/without _SPEED=y:
# Thanks to cysp74 to report this bug
sed -e 's;find l10n -wholename '\''\*/brand.dtd'\'' | xargs;find l10n -wholename '\''\*/brand.dtd'\'' | xargs -r;g' -i makeicecat
sed -e 's;find l10n -wholename '\''\*/brand.ftl'\'' | xargs;find l10n -wholename '\''\*/brand.ftl'\'' | xargs -r;g' -i makeicecat
Patch pushed 67ac93909fa9 but I didn't bump pkgrel. Please test it.
@cysp74 I see, it's the _SPEED=Y... I'll patch.

I've made some checks and lowered "security.sandbox.content.level" to 1 (default is 4). Perhaps a bit better approach, instead of disabling completely sandbox.

@Terrorizer patch process can take a long time, depending on your machine capacity.
Good news is that IceCat was added to Chaotic repo recently:
