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.

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...

I'm trying to import the GPG key but it's not working. I get the following error when executing this "gpg --recv-keys 3C76EED7D7E04784" in my terminal: gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available

@archmaniac fakeroot messages are only "unwanted output", see this bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49278 Indeed, before building big packages like IceCat, a system upgrade is very recommended. Or, use any chroot helper (like scripts provided in devtools package) that maintain a clean and upgraded environment to build packages. Enjoy your new cold cat :)

<deleted-account> commented on 2016-08-07 08:37 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry for the less information. I tried to build it with yaourt and makepkg. At the end the error appears. ==> Entering fakeroot environment... dlsym(acl_get_fd): /usr/lib/libfakeroot/libfakeroot.so: undefined symbol: acl_get_fd dlsym(acl_get_file): /usr/lib/libfakeroot/libfakeroot.so: undefined symbol: acl_get_file ==> Starting package()... dlsym(acl_get_fd): /usr/lib/libfakeroot/libfakeroot.so: undefined symbol: acl_get_fd dlsym(acl_get_file): /usr/lib/libfakeroot/libfakeroot.so: undefined symbol: acl_get_file ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package(). Aborting... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build icecat. There was a problem with fakeroot. So I did a system upgrade and compiled it again. Now it works fine.

@archmaniac you should paste more information, with that is impossible to know what is causing your error.

<deleted-account> commented on 2016-08-06 10:49 (UTC)

hey, i got an error while compiling. ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package(). Aborting... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build icecat.

figue commented on 2016-08-05 07:17 (UTC)

@EndUserOnly ok, thanks for the tip. I haven't used grsec for years, but I will remember. Do you figure out why exactly compilation fails in grsec?
