  • _build_save_source (true) – save tarball of patched sources
  • _build_repatch (false) – discard previously saved tarball
  • _build_pgo (true) – enable profile guided optimization; ~20% better benchmarks, 3× build time
  • _build_pgo_reuse (try) – reuse previously generated profile
  • _build_pgo_xvfb (true) – use Xvfb for profiling, otherwise, use xwayland-run
  • _build_lto (false) – whether to use LTO; disabling may prevent spurious crashes

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!

@random-nick I've pushed this: 402e4c99deec

Please update your local repo and try again.

figue commented on 2021-07-31 22:48 (UTC)

@random-nick haven't tried yet...

random-nick commented on 2021-07-31 20:56 (UTC)

doesn't build with current rust?

figue commented on 2021-07-26 09:16 (UTC)

@rifl you have 60.7.0... This package is 78.12.0.

I had this kinda issue too that audio/video didnt work. It'd always came that way even with HTTPeverywhere enabled while others being disabled or started with --safe-mode. ffmpeg not found in arch repos except ffmpeg, which's installed already.

$ icecat -v GNU IceCat 60.7.0 $ uname -r 5.10.52-1-lts

@Grand-Jury9th I started a new profile and, without ffmpeg-full, videos are working. Anybody can check it?
