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.

I have the same problem. _CLANG value have no matter.

figue commented on 2018-11-20 20:17 (UTC)

@aix4c check a few posts back (env _CLANG=1)... Try to build with clang instead of gcc.

Thank you, it works. You can put llvm in icecat dependencies.

figue commented on 2018-11-10 19:16 (UTC)

@LinuxVieLoisir check if you have llvm package installed.

LinuxVieLoisir commented on 2018-11-10 17:35 (UTC)

I checked the updates, I tried with the line but it does not work

figue commented on 2018-11-10 16:58 (UTC)

@LinuxVieLoisir a few days ago, other user posted the same. Please, update fully your system and try again. Also, you can try compiling with clang:

env _CLANG=1 makepkg -sic

@EndUserOnly you are welcome. It's weird because llvm is essential to build ;)

EndUserOnly commented on 2018-11-01 03:15 (UTC)

Not sure how I made it this far without it, but llvm was not on my system. The build should be fine now, it is well into it. Thank you for your patience... can't makeit without icecat.
