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.

icu package dependencies for this latest icecat version is not up to date. It still uses version 55.

I managed to fix the xul38 error. This only apply for upgrading icecat 38.0 to 38.3. libxul.so is necessary and can be acquired from xulrunner package version 38. Once I got that installed I have to manually copy the libxul.so from /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-38.0.1/bin and place it in /usr/lib/icecat folder. Then everything is fixed without errors after the compilation process.

Hi @sikmir, please add the key before build: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Signature_checking

Hi @archaurwiki! I've pushed some changes: - Added mirror.kernel.org missing signature file. . Removed ssp-buffer-size flag. I missed that. - Cleaned old patch files from repo. Can't see any signature file in Ruben's site. I leave it as it is. Anyway it's there just in case. Thanks!

<deleted-account> commented on 2015-10-14 20:42 (UTC)

It also builds fine for me. figue, thanks for the update. Some points I noticed: 1) --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 was recently disabled by default in makepkg.conf but this PKGBUILD still keeps it 2) The 2nd and 3rd mirrors are missing the trailing signature 3) I think the comment about unsetting CPPFLAGS still applies 38.3.0 but I haven't tested to verify so I'm not sure. If it does, maybe rewording the comment would help for clarity Thanks!

Hi @test0, can you try to build IceCat in a clean chroot? You can use devtools: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot#Convenience_Way I did last night with extra-x86_64 and it builds. And FYI, xulrunner is not a dependency of this package.
