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.

i used http://mirror.linuzeros.org/icecat/testing/icecat-6.0-1.src.tar.gz and it builds with "--disable-crashreporter", so we had no problems with this one.

About PGO, I got to skip the crashreporter locales error (was it failing for you?) but now it's missing the preprocessor.pl script.

@andy123 Thanks. It seems xpt.py file doesn't exist in xulrunner package never :O

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-08-17 15:13 (UTC)

@figue same on x86_64, looks like we don't have a "xpt.py" but icecat wants to use it during the build process.

fauno commented on 2011-08-17 14:54 (UTC)

I'm building it like Arch's firefox. So far it fails trying to build the crashreporter locale, which is disabled... I removed any mention to it I found useful, I'll keep you posted.

figue commented on 2011-08-17 13:16 (UTC)

@cb474 thank you for the workaround. It works for me. Do you have an i686 too? Anyone can test it in a x86_64? In this release Giuseppe add Mafiaafire by default. Works fine for me. Anyway, you can disable it o delete it from /usr/lib. I'm trying to build IceCat through XULrunner, but doesn't work now. If anyone want to help, this is the tarball: http://mirror.linuzeros.org/icecat/testing/icecat-6.0-1.src.tar.gz (not working) See this for the build: http://mirror.linuzeros.org/icecat/testing/build-error-6.0.txt

With the upgrade to 6.0, I'm getting a problem where sites running flash crash icecat and I have to force quit. In a terminal, I get this error: ** (icecat-bin:20483): WARNING **: Serious fd usage error 16 ** (icecat-bin:20483): WARNING **: Serious fd usage error 12 If I go into about:config and set dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false, that solves the problem as a workaround. Firefox 6.0 on the same machine does not exhibit this problem. Any suggestions?

cb474 commented on 2011-08-17 05:26 (UTC)

Is Mafiaafire Riderector a default extension in icecat now? It suddenly appeared with icecat 6.0 and doesn't seem like it can be removed. Just trying to figure out where it came from. Thanks.
