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.

In my case directly $ gpg --recv-keys brings error: no keyserver available $ gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3C76EED7D7E04784 works for me.

DrTebi commented on 2015-04-29 01:50 (UTC)

Hmm.... I didn't know that that was necessary? I didn't have to do this for any other AUR packages.

$ gpg --recv-keys 3C76EED7D7E04784 # <= Did you bother to do this before installing?

DrTebi commented on 2015-04-28 20:33 (UTC)

It works now, thank you for your efforts. I do get a PGP error for the key though: ==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... icecat-31.6.0-gnu1.tar.bz2 ... FAILED (unknown public key 3C76EED7D7E04784) ==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified! It works when installing it with --skipinteg though.

removed symlink and upgraded, it seems to be working just fine :) Thanks! :)

stamno commented on 2015-04-27 01:08 (UTC)

haven't tried new release yet, but symlinking did make my old install work,so I haven't recompiled yet. Will probably upgrade during the next days. Thanks! :)

I upload a new release. I commented a couple of mozconfig settings. Now libvpx and icu are not provided by system, so we can workaround the current situation. Let me know if you can run IceCat again with these modifications.

<deleted-account> commented on 2015-04-26 05:10 (UTC)

My apologies, what I meant to say was that if it was already installed then a symlink should get it up and running again. You can try downgrading libvpx to 1.4.0-1 and then building icecat. I don't think this is a package issue and I foresee it being more of an upstream/GNU issue because GNU folks are sticklers for stability over bleeding edge so perhaps one of Arch's icecat dependencies breaks icecat. I could be wrong but if downgrading libvpx and rebuilding icecat works, please let us know.
