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 am new to gpg, and I may be wrong, but Ruben's gpg key is not the one presented in pinned comment - http://www.fsf.org/about/staff-and-board How can I know for sure that the key presented really is Ruben's key and trust enough to import it?

@AlPiotrowicz happened to me too in one machine. Seems the upstream bug is 10 days old. Hope somebody figure out what's wrong with GCC7 optimizations. Thank you for the link.

Hi, did somebody try compile it with gcc 7.1.1-3 using march native -o2? Seems like the same bug - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1362771. Thanks

Thanks, switching to cairo solves the rendering issue.

@AndyRTR try to change content backend to cairo: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox/Tweaks#Set_AzureContentBackend_to_Skia_instead_of_Cairo

New build compiles but icecat is unusable here. Almost all fonts and tabs are invisible.

yep it is fixed, thanks.

@xxterry1xx try the new release. This issue also happened in firefox-esr. Thanks for the report.

I am getting this message at the end of the icecat build. /usr/bin/ldd : cannot find -lcrmf https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/54395 << other people are having an issue with this message, there is a patch in the comments i have yet to try to see if it resolves the problem.

@figue I thought I tested that before commenting, but indeed you're right. I'll delete the original comment as it is a bit misleading. Thanks for the heads up!
