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:

  • 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.

No, with Firefox it works fine. It's something with 5.0 build, it works until 4.1

wonder commented on 2011-07-02 07:02 (UTC)

does that happen with firefox package too?

I tried installing all those icons http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=NyP7UnJm but problem persist. It's little different though but it's buggy... Am I doing something wrong?

wonder commented on 2011-07-01 11:07 (UTC)

hmm, is not the same thing. it does that because in this PKGBUILD you don't install all icon sizes. this is the reason if i recall and happened with our thunderbird too before installing all icon sizes

@wonder I have this bug too, but I'm talking about this: http://blackhole.linuzeros.org/figue/screenshot-icecat.png Look at the right bar. I launched IceCat 3 times, adding it to favourites, but those icons don't launch anything when I close the process, so Gnome Shell is failing when create the favourite. It's very weird.

@figure that is a bug in nvidia driver http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=163178

@cb474 yes, more than 1 hour in my computer I have some issues with Gnome Shell extension dock. Launcher icon appears 2 times when I launch IceCat. Anyone have extra/gnome-shell-extension-dock and can confirm this? Maybe it's just my session (long time without restart with many updates)...

cb474 commented on 2011-06-29 19:23 (UTC)

@figue the build worked fine for me, it just took a really long time (30 minutes? and hour? i forget).

figue commented on 2011-06-29 17:09 (UTC)

@wonder understood... @all Any issues with new build process?

wonder commented on 2011-06-29 15:07 (UTC)
