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.

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.

Hi figue, is similar to stamno's output below, I get the following: make[7]: Leaving directory '/tmp/pacaurtmp-alessandro/icecat/src/icecat-31.6.0/omake[6]: Leaving directory '/tmp/pacaurtmp-alessandro/icecat/src/icecat-31.6.0/obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/intl/icu/target' make[5]: Leaving directory '/tmp/pacaurtmp-alessandro/icecat/src/icecat-31.6.0/obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/intl/icu' make[4]: Leaving directory '/tmp/pacaurtmp-alessandro/icecat/src/icecat-31.6.0/obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' /tmp/pacaurtmp-alessandro/icecat/src/icecat-31.6.0/config/recurse.mk:39: recipe for target 'compile' failed make[3]: *** [compile] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory '/tmp/pacaurtmp-alessandro/icecat/src/icecat-31.6.0/obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' /tmp/pacaurtmp-alessandro/icecat/src/icecat-31.6.0/config/rules.mk:592: recipe for target 'default' failed make[2]: *** [default] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/tmp/pacaurtmp-alessandro/icecat/src/icecat-31.6.0/obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' /tmp/pacaurtmp-alessandro/icecat/src/icecat-31.6.0/client.mk:381: recipe for target 'realbuild' failed make[1]: *** [realbuild] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/pacaurtmp-alessandro/icecat/src/icecat-31.6.0' client.mk:168: recipe for target 'build' failed make: *** [build] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

Hello sudoku, we don't use system libvpx, It's disabled in mozconfig. If you (or someone else) have issues building IceCat, please, post the output of makepkg.

r0b0h0b0 commented on 2015-05-22 10:16 (UTC)

icecat build fails possibly because it relies on an old version of libvpx (1.4.0-1). However, downgrading libvpx requires a downgrade of ffmpeg.
