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 8GB ram + 4GiB swap space (swapfile), I will try -e anyway and let you know the outcome.

figue commented on 2021-10-15 06:34 (UTC)

@Ningen how many RAM do you have? Try to relaunch the build with "makepkg -e" and see if the compilation success.

GKrust has a compilation error in the compiling process. Related: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72085

@figue Thank you for quick guidance! It's still bugged, but now I can see some error messages in the terminal: When I click at the noScript addon icon: JavaScript error: resource://gre/modules/ExtensionContent.jsm, line 567: TypeError: PrecompiledScript.executeInGlobal: Argument 1 is not an object.

@figue I can't figure out what could be the problem. As I mentioned with the 60.7 binary version I don't have this problem. I feel like my knowledge is limited to solve this puzzle by myself, could you give me some tips what could cause such problems?

figue commented on 2021-09-01 11:30 (UTC)

@pepesafestemail in my case, with XFCE, is working fine:

Hi! I compiled (several times) the newest version and any addon I add to Icecat shows transparent box with a border and the button only show up when i hover the mouse over one of the buttons, but i can't really interact with them. I did not have this kind of problem with the latest binary version (60.7). I did not find any related problems like this even with firefox. I'm using LXDE DE maybe thats causing some issues? Here is a link what it looks like: https://i.imgur.com/i3iv7dV.jpeg edit: Oh and I can make the Open Menu "burger" drop down menu bar look like that too with some jumping through pages and option tabs

@compiler1413 this happens because en-US is not in the l10n-central repo. Check https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/

I can add a safe code that download en-GB instead of en-US, which is already shipped in original tarball. Will you prefer that or, knowing this, you can set en-GB or other language to avoid to download all locales?

Note: I was trying to avoid all locales if en-US is the only preference, but the code in makeicecat script is deeply dependent, so I can't... If anybody has a patch, it will be welcome.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecat/?O=20&PP=10#comment-799993 Still getting the same sed error with _SPEED=Y

Also tried with env, no difference.

env _LOCALE=en-US _SPEED=y makepkg -rsic

Any insight on why this fails? Thanks!
