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.

@EndUserOnly do you have _CLANG=1? Or you are building with default gcc?

Getting the following error (yaourt & manual)

ERROR: Could not find LLVM/Clang installation for compiling stylo build-time 0:44.67 bindgen. Please specify the 'LLVM_CONFIG' environment variable 0:44.67 (recommended), pass the '--with-libclang-path' and '--with-clang-path' 0:44.67 options to configure, or put 'llvm-config' in your PATH. Altering your 0:44.67 PATH may expose 'clang' as well, potentially altering your compiler, 0:44.67 which may not be what you intended. 0:44.72 Fix above errors and then restart with\ 0:44.72 "/usr/bin/make -f client.mk build" 0:44.73 make: [client.mk:149: configure] Error 1

Rust downgrade not an option. Thanks.

@colinkeenan I can reproduce the issue updating my system... Let me check it.

It seems related with rust 1.29. Downgrading to 1.28 could be a workaround for now.

Edit: testing this patch https://hg.mozilla.org/mozreview/gecko/rev/e820a3a4ce2284ecd2992dc827fedc357b75eeb7#index_header

Edit2: it works. Pushing new release right now.

Also, I've commented _CLANG variable. You can export in your profile or in shell directly without modifying PKGBUILD.

Thanks for the warning. I get the same error with clang that I got with gcc:

So here are the alpha release of IceCat 60.2.0. I have to change a lot of code in PKGBUILD. Also, I include a variable to build IceCat with clang if gcc doesn't work for you (like in my case). Feel free to edit _CLANG to 0 or 1 acording to your needs.

This release is in alpha for now, you are advised.

Happy testing.

figue commented on 2018-09-06 21:28 (UTC)

@romero welcome to Arch then. With time and looking in arch's wiki (which is a great resource), you can learn a lot of things.

I think pamac uses yaourt... If that is true, you can change tmpdir in /etc/yaourtrc.

romero commented on 2018-09-06 16:42 (UTC) (edited on 2018-09-06 16:48 (UTC) by romero)

@figue - thanks that worked like a charm! I'm new to Linux, a repenting former Mac addict, who just went cold turkey on all my machines with Manjaro, since I'm convinced about everything Arch. However, I just need to learn its inner working, before I go for the pure thing.

Manjaro uses pamac, as I found out. This little 'king' :) populates /tmp with all kind of crap, but generally works - only some programs make trouble, like IceCat in the XFCE version of Manjaro, to whatever reason.

Again, thank you very much.

figue commented on 2018-09-05 23:16 (UTC) (edited on 2018-09-05 23:18 (UTC) by figue)

@romero why you build IceCat in /tmp? If you are using some king of AUR helper (yaourt, pacaur, trizen...) stop and build manually in your /home or in some partition you have enough free space:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/icecat.git
cd icecat
makepkg -sic

Done :)

romero commented on 2018-09-05 17:49 (UTC) (edited on 2018-09-05 21:07 (UTC) by romero)

While trying to install, I get caught in a loop: After 30 min or so, I get an error saying that the device is full. This seem to be because /tmp is full. After deleting all content from it, I can give it another try, but with the same effect.

This happens on my X220 running Manjaro with XFCE. Running Manjaro with GNOME, though, does the job. Any idea why that might be the case?

figue commented on 2018-08-22 22:23 (UTC)

@soundtoxin ok, so it works now...

I have a workaround with wget if sometimes it happens something with gpg:

wget -O - "http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x3C76EED7D7E04784" | gpg --import -
