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.

@Terrorizer if you add Chaotic repo, you will avoid to build IceCat, like the rest of prebuilt packages. There is no other advantage.

Terrorizer commented on 2020-10-04 16:47 (UTC)

@figue ... is there an advantage for icecat to use this new "Chaotic Repo" ??? And how can i solve this: when i wanna install icecat and it runs several hours, i don't sit before my computer the whole time, in the past often i came too late and there was an output like password overtime ???

IceCat was built in Chaotic a few days ago successfully

@mazzarino I have the same issue as you. I tried running an older version of rust per the bug report that you attached but that didn't change anything.

Have you had any luck finding a fix?

figue commented on 2020-09-29 22:37 (UTC)

@Terrorizer patch process can take a long time, depending on your machine capacity.

Good news is that IceCat was added to Chaotic repo recently:

Terrorizer commented on 2020-09-29 10:30 (UTC)

@figue, is it not possible that you make a bin-file of this

yesterday i start another try at 7:00 in the morning, and at 10:00 in the evening i must stop, because i must go to work and the compile was not complete ???

mazzarino commented on 2020-09-28 19:01 (UTC)

@figue It seems to be rust issue, similar https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74551 https://bugs.gentoo.org/727178

figue commented on 2020-09-26 22:43 (UTC)

@mazzarino I see (signal: 9, SIGKILL: kill), like if the process was killed by someone...
