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.

@fauno I'm using 4.0rc1-1 and everything is working fine, including tabs.

fauno commented on 2011-03-28 17:52 (UTC)

does 4.0rc1 open new tabs for you? it's the only thing that doesn't work here, afaict.

IceCat 4.0-rc1 is up for testing purposes only. I need more time to clean all stuff, but if you want to test it here is the source tarball: http://mirror.linuzeros.org/icecat/testing/icecat-4.0rc1-1.src.tar.gz I uploaded x86_64 binary package too: http://mirror.linuzeros.org/icecat/testing/icecat-4.0rc1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz Happy testing!

don't compile icecat with system xul support.

figue commented on 2011-03-24 10:23 (UTC)

3.6.16 is up, but we don't have xulrunner, because it's upgraded to 2.0 in official repos. What can we do? Wait until Giuseppe releases IceCat 4.0 (he's working on it), or we push a new xulrunner version on AUR for 3.6.16?

Ravenman commented on 2011-03-03 22:23 (UTC)

@Wonder You are right!. Sorry, I forgot it. Thanks by your advice.

wonder commented on 2011-03-03 21:30 (UTC)

@Ravenman this is a build. customize it yourself.

Ravenman commented on 2011-03-03 21:26 (UTC)

Could you compile it without HAL and GNOME components (as dependences), please?
