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.

@figue yay is a pacman wrapper for the aur. I reinstalled rust and it's the same as your version. I tried it again with _CLANG=1 and regular makepkg -sCf and it still segfaulted. Does it rebuild on your end? The only thing I can think of is I recently got a 1st gen ryzen cpu so I will test it to see if I have the infamous compile segfault bug.

@gearshift I've never used yay... Did you verify that used CC is clang?

My rust is:

figue@pluto ~ % /usr/bin/rustc --version
rustc 1.32.0

you can try reinstalling rust...

@figue I used export _CLANG=1 and built with yay with the updated repo and I'm still getting the segfault. Could this be a rust issue?

@Antebellum Icecat might've removed support for WebRTC because the upstream Firefox implementation leaks your IP address.

Antebellum commented on 2019-02-04 17:11 (UTC)

is there anyway to enable WebRTC for Icecat?Even with media.peerconnection.enabled;true I can't get any WebRTC services to work such as Google Voice or FireRTC.

figue commented on 2019-01-30 01:01 (UTC)

@gearshift refresh local repo and then build with clang:

env _CLANG=1 makepkg -sCf

I'm getting a segfault with gkrust. Anyone else having this issue?

@securitybreach thanks. Please, update your local repo.

extra/clang needs to be added as a dep

After that, it builds just fine.

@maid what do you mean... build with gcc and clang are different. Do you see exactly the same output? Please, post the logs in any paste service.
