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.

Thank you very much Rozan. I use your build and now i will test it. I change my Intel Core I3 for a AMD APU HP, is smallest, has more lights but, i think is a little slow, damn it, trying to improve it.

@Rozan if I unset CPPFLAGS, like you said, it doesn't build in my x86_64 box. I need more time to test it. Lastest version is several months old and GNUzilla seems that are not interested in new versions of Firefox.

@figue That is great. Do you think it is a good idea to change the PKGBUILD the way I suggested?

Also I'm maintaining a personal repo: [blackhole] Server = http://mirror.lnx.im/icecat/repo/$arch

If you don't want to wait that long and you have a x86_64 system, here's my binary: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4yida7axhcbyf7w/icecat-17.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I got an error saying: configure: error: system NSPR does not support PR_STATIC_ASSERT This can be fixed by putting "unset CPPFLAGS" right before the "make -f client.mk build" line in the build section. Then it compiles just fine. It took me about 1.5 hours to compile. Can't we persuade the maintainers to put this in the standard repo? I think it is a pretty important program.

@yoelion sorry about that. The domain linuzeros.org is not managed by me and it seems that it was a problem with the registrar. BTW you can use my own domain for the repo: [blackhole] Server = http://mirror.lnx.im/icecat/repo/$arch I have only i686 version right now, I'll upload the x86_64 tomorrow.

yoelion commented on 2012-08-26 12:05 (UTC)

why is http://mirror.linuzeros.org/ down? /-:

Updated to 14.0 It builds fine with an old IceCat installed. PGO have been disabled again.
