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.

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

Thanks @twouters for the link. I have successfully compiled IceCat 31.7.0 with a new patch based on yours. i686 build done too, I have upload the packages on my personal repo. Switch to jenkins.trisquel.info until gnu.org mirror is updated. Thanks @twouters again :)

It looks like the build issues are caused by an upgrade to gcc 5.1.0 upstream bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1021171 slightly modified patch to work with icecat (js/xpconnect/wrappers/XrayWrapper.cpp failed to apply): http://pastebin.com/95KtehDj

@figue I've got the same issue, even when building in a clean chroot.

@CompletelyGalen @sudoku I always build IceCat in a clean chroot https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot because I have Firefox installed and I know that this breaks the "normal" build. Please, try it and see if it builds fine.
