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.

@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.

@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!

figue commented on 2017-04-24 11:15 (UTC)

@vasya try to delete pkgdir before build, for instance makepkg -sicC

figue commented on 2017-04-17 10:59 (UTC)

@AndyRTR forgot it. Thanks. I keep pkgrel in 1. Please make a git pull of your local repos.

Please add autonconf2.13 to makedepends array.
