Arch Linux User Repository

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.

@jghodd sorry I don't have an i686 platform. And don't know if chroot is reliable...

@figue same errors. no change.

i should add that the 64-bit build works fine. these errors are coming from the 32-bit build.

@jghodd: try to build with Clang;

env _CLANG=1 makepkg -sCf

@figue am getting build errors with 6.3.0-3. they appear to be simd related. is the pkgbuild missing a dependency?

btw, i do have the latest version of rust installed (1.33), and builds of 6.3.0-1 and 6.3.0-2 worked without errors. building with rust-1.33 seems to be the only difference with this release.

Could it be related to this: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/57940 ?

They advise compiling with --no-default-features --std but I do not know how & where to translate that command into the buildproces of icecat?

@cysp74 thank you. Removed libvpx.

Hi,

Due to new libvpx 1.8.0-1, ffmpeg 1:4.1.1-2 packages, running of already built binaries failed.

Rebuild is also failing because there is a header incompatibility with new libvpx.

Building can be successful with removing/commenting "ac_add_options --with-system-libvpx" line in PKGBUILD.

Rgds

@figue I tried to compile it today and it worked fine with export _CLANG=1. Weird but I guess a month of updates sorted things out on my system.

@gearshift yeah I rebuild first time you posted. It's weird. So try in ryzen first...
