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.

@figue extra-x86_64-build says it cannot download the sources, but I was able to build it using makechrootpkg and it worked. Have you considered using the libre.patch from Parabola's IceCat package? It just seems like it would be more inline with the concept of using IceCat over vanilla Firefox.

Pushed 31.6.0-2. The only changes are in dependencies. To make sure, I just copy the same packages than Firefox in [extra] (except for xorg-server-xvfb). And I refreshed my repo. @Twilight_Genesis Do you have Firefox installed too? I use extra-i686-build and extra-x86_64-build scripts from devtools.

@figue Works fine when built with clean chroot using graysky's clean-chroot-manager It wouldn't build in the chroot using custom CFLAGS. What is wrong with my CFLAGS? CPPFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

@Twilight_Genesis it works for me. Did you built in a clean chroot? @fubb I'm building a new release to include some dependencies (like in Firefox package). Hope the dependency you need is there included: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/firefox/ Then I will update my own repo, for those who can not build this package.

Compiles fine, but segfaults when run. http://pastebin.com/eUyTC2cG

@figue Thanks for the compiled 31, it works great! and makes up for the millennia misspent installing dependency after dependency in order build this on a fresh arch install.
