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.

@earlybird what do you mean? The script downloads firefox sources from mozilla.org... Can you retry? It should be ok.

earlybird commented on 2023-03-15 07:00 (UTC)

the package can not be build failure while downloading ...

@nfitzen thank you. I don't remember why I comment "ac_add_options --disable-eme" (I think because it doesn't build in some point), but I tried now and it seems to be working. I'll disable eme in the next release.

nfitzen commented on 2023-02-17 20:05 (UTC)

@figue the GNU Project, for obvious reasons, hates EME, thus IceCat is supposed to disable it entirely. Without the option, EME appears to be enabled.

figue commented on 2023-01-10 18:35 (UTC)

@maid I don't understand why I built this package with --disable-eme...

Can you edit PKGBUILD and delete "ac_add_options --disable-eme"? If it works I'll push the commit.

@figue, all good, build happened without any friction.

figue commented on 2022-12-14 18:33 (UTC)

@cysp74 it was fixed in e9ff5860c71b but forgot to push release +1. Please, git pull your local repo and build it again.

@lino_sparks IceCat sources are pulled by makeicecat.sh script, we can patch it, but probably the problem is in the side of yay. With makepkg it works just fine,
