PKGBUILD has been updated. Major changes:

  • Downloads Firefox ESR and localization using the source array. Files are saved for reuse.
  • Saves freshly patched IceCat sources in a tarball for reuse.
  • Saves the PGO profile for reuse.

Notes:

  • Currently requires clang/llvm 17, which has to be built from AUR.
  • Wayland users, consider setting _build_pgo_xvfb=false. This will use xwayland-run for profiling.
  • PGO should work now, but if it doesn't and you're willing to go without, try _build_pgo=false.
  • Running out of RAM? Try adding mk_add_options MOZ_PARALLEL_BUILD=___ around line 300. Pick a value less than number of cores and free RAM in GB. For example, on a system with 8 cores, 64GB total RAM, but only 6 GB free, the value should be set to 4 or 5.
    • If a few people can confirm this is helpful, I will consider adding it as an additional option.
    • Main resource hog seems to be linking libxul.so. Leave a comment if you have a potential solution.

Having problems? Please provide details: processor make and model, number of cores, free -m, full log in pastebin, whether using AUR helper/makepkg/clean chroot, etc.

@figue 91.5.0 does not have the issue of 91.4.0 - Build OK.

I'll check as soon as I can, I'm on vacation until 2022.

I too encountered the same issue @el1x mentioned.

@cysp74 I'm not having issues like you. But I usually use IceCat in some static sites, so maybe I'm not the best to say. Please, post some examples to try to replicate them here.

cysp74 commented on 2021-11-13 17:41 (UTC)

So,

I made an absolutely new, fresh version of icecat with rolled out packages of llvm + rust.

llvm-libs 13.0.0-3, compiler-rt 13.0.0-1, clang 13.0.0-2, lib32-llvm-libs 13.0.0-1, llvm 13.0.0-3, rust 1:1.56.1-3. + lld 13.0.0-1 (by makepkg)

Additionally, I've started icecat with new, empty .mozilla + .cache/mozilla directory. The new build stuck (freeze) on some sites (I faced occasionally strange behavior on eg. youtube also) due to webgl and/or javascript. Alas I can't specify this error more detailed, I couldn't catch any relevant log by console. - yet

cysp74 commented on 2021-11-03 21:49 (UTC)

@figue : By default isn't installed, but... PKGBUILD refers to lld package:


akedepends=(m4 unzip zip diffutils python2-setuptools python-jsonschema yasm mesa imake inetutils
             xorg-server-xvfb autoconf2.13 rust clang llvm jack gtk2
             python nodejs python2-psutil cbindgen nasm wget mercurial git lld perl-rename)

So "makepkg -sr" installs.

figue commented on 2021-11-03 18:45 (UTC)

@cysp74 do you have lld package installed?

cysp74 commented on 2021-11-03 14:04 (UTC)

@figue:

My second attempt placed in absolutely clean directory, started by "git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/icecat.git", blabla and failed.

But I pulled through after nth try after installation of llvm stuffs + rust from testing repo: clang-13.0.0-2 compiler-rt-13.0.0-1 lib32-llvm-libs-13.0.0-1 llvm-13.0.0-2 llvm-libs-13.0.0-2 rust-1:1.56.1-1

Pretty weird, (ofcoz I forgot to include the most important line into my previous comment):

0:01.85 DEBUG: Executing: /usr/bin/clang -std=gnu99 -fuse-ld=lld -Wl,--version 0:01.85 ERROR: Could not use lld as linker

So, I'll be vigilant and make new test once those packages above will be pushed into regular repo.

figue commented on 2021-11-02 22:47 (UTC)

@cysp74 can you build in a clean chroot?
