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'm installing icecat through pacaur. First I had to change the permission on /usr/lib/icecat/, which was only 750 after the installation. But now I get the following error message when I try to fire icecat up: "Could not find the GNU runtime." At first glance I can't see what's missing though. ldd /usr/bin/icecat linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffe2fcb000) libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fec4d7ca000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fec4d5c6000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fec4d23e000) libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007fec4cf3a000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fec4cd23000) libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fec4c985000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fec4d9e7000)

Thanks @jghodd, build fixed with a new patch.

there is a bug in the top level configure and in js/src/configure - same bug. top level configure: line 30308 - the first instance of [space] should be [[space]] js/src/configure: line 15909 - same thing. the first instance of [space] should be [[space]] without fixing this, the build throws errors that it's unable to extract the icu version number from uvernum.h and aborts.

I've pushed a new release. I want to test rust code so I've enabled it in mozconfig. Also I've disabled some more configs (I'm not 100% sure if there were already disabled though) and I've switched back to system libs cairo and png. Let me know if something seems wrong.

@rohshall maybe a bad dependency download? I've just launched a build with extra-x86_64-build script and all seems ok.

I get this error: ==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies. :: failed to build icecat package(s)

Thank you @matoro @ZombB @anton-tsyganenko I can't upload the sources from my work computer, and then from home I forgot to push mozconfig. We need to add "--enable-official-branding" to build this version. Please, try now. PD: I also forgot to reset pkgrel... :S but who cares?

In addition to the base SHA256 for mozconfig, if you manually edit PKGBUILD and replace it with the correct one, then the build fails with the following error (edited for relative paths): Reticulating splines...
