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.

Hi @respiranto, answered in your thread[1].

Even after building in a clean chroot and having removed firefox, I still have the problem, that the red loading wheel is stagnating, as I already described in this[1] forum post. Does it work for you? If so, do you have an idea, why it might not work for me? [1] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=199692

figue commented on 2015-07-17 14:38 (UTC)

Hi @respiranto that's true. I always use a clean chroot to build IceCat and it's always clean. IMHO I prefer to delete src and pkg directory before any build, because the compilation will be the same when the version change (so you can't use makepkg -e). But in case of tests or minor updates directly in src/ those parameters will work. Anyway, I will push these changes later, so if someone needs to relaunch a build it will never fail.

I get this error: mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/respiranto/Downloads/AUR/icecat/src/path’: File exists ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting... This is because I generally keep the sources and rebuild in the same directory. Am I not supposed to do so? Changing 'mkdir' to 'mkdir -p' (l.69) as well as appending '-f' to 'ln -s' (l.70) in the PKGBUILD obviously prevents any such error. ln would else complain about an already existing symlink.

That patch works. v31.8.0 is up.

@Cork Build 31.8 fails too. I'm trying with this patch[1] right now. 1.- https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/firefox&id=d270c2593553c2c495168ab6ced4c707e1fc3907

Fixed. Thank you @warsh

Running makepkg -s gives me an error of: "==> ERROR: Failure while downloading icecat-31.7.0-gnu1.tar.bz2 Aborting..." Also, this link is broken: http://jenkins.trisquel.info/icecat/binaries/icecat-31.7.0-gnu1.tar.bz2
