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.

Will not compile in grsec kernel. When compiled against standard kernel, will not run in grsec kernel. Thanks anyway.

[error] verification with GPG signatures, public key unknown 3C76EED7D7E04784 Help!

Works fine, thank you!

figue commented on 2016-06-28 10:50 (UTC)

Done. You should be able to use gstreamer now.

figue commented on 2016-06-28 07:20 (UTC)

Yeah... the correct option is "ac_add_options --enable-gstreamer=1.0" I think. Rebuilding right now.

Strange enough, I recompiled icecat and still have h264 support disabled according youtube test page. Is it works for you ? I disabled librejs ofc. https://www.youtube.com/html5 [abi@darkstar ~]$ pacman -Q |grep gst gst-libav 1.8.2-1 gst-plugins-bad 1.8.2-2 gst-plugins-base 1.8.2-1 gst-plugins-base-libs 1.8.2-1 gst-plugins-good 1.8.2-1 gstreamer 1.8.2-1

figue commented on 2016-06-27 20:41 (UTC)

Update to 38.8.0-gnu2. @abi thanks, gstreamer enabled again. I was trying a lot of things to release v38.8 and I've merged some options in mozconfig from Firefox in official repos.
