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.

just download the file, and install it:

sudo pacman -U icecat-68.12.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.bz2

@figue

...what should i do ???

figue commented on 2020-09-04 10:05 (UTC)

@Terrorizer I don't know if your issue is with something related with rust package provided by Manjaro...

I've uploaded my compiled package in the meantime we figure out what's going on...

https://mirror.lnx.im/icecat/icecat-68.12.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.bz2

Maybe a good start is to look in Manjaro's Firefox sources and see if they apply some patch for rust.

@figue, my system [Manjaro KDE] is up-to-date, how can i update this rust-package ???

@Terrorizer it's weird. rustc package in [extra] repo is at 1.46, but you have 1.45:
