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 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.

@figue, now everything is fine, thank you

Hi D101101, that's your issue "IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device" ;) I successfully build it in a clean chroot for x86_64.
