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.

Uninstalled and re-build icecat again. Works without a hitch now. Thanks figue!

figue commented on 2020-07-31 16:33 (UTC)

You right... Fixed all patch. Please try again

The process continues and the browser builds just fine by pointing the program to python/mozbuild/mozbuild/test/configure/test_toolchain_configure.py though.

Thanks for quick turnaround, for me another glitch has came up:

Hunk #2 succeeded at 175 (offset 3 lines). -> Starting build... patching file config/makefiles/rust.mk can't find file to patch at input line 24 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was:

Hi,

Building fails with this error:

Seems an upstream new feature:

@wrath we don't have sources available to build IceCat 78.x yet. See [1] [1] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git
