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.

3.6.9 is out.

fauno commented on 2010-09-08 21:19 (UTC)

I've just compiled 3.6.9 on an archroot and it asked for libnotify ;)

@fgr I don't have that bug. In my case, I can't move tabs

wonder commented on 2010-07-20 22:33 (UTC)

@cb474 to bad that know they should try to release 3.6.7

cb474 commented on 2010-07-20 22:31 (UTC)

If people are interested, it looks like the Gnuzilla people will not upgrade Icecat to 3.6.6, because all it does is change one setting in the about:config. So Icecat won't be back in sync, as it were, with Firefox until the next upgrade. An explanation can be found here, as well as insturctions on what about:config setting to change if you want the 3.6.6 "upgrade": https://launchpad.net/~gnuzilla-team/+archive/ppa

@ecolinux for you probably IceCat works fine with the latest version of xulrunner. Not in my case: after I've compiled IceCat with xulrunner 1.9.2.6, I wasn't able to hear audio in any '.flv' file streaming.

Hello, i don't understand what you say about xulrunner. xulrunner-1.9.2.6 work with icecat 3.6.4 . where is the problème ? but i compil with autoconf (who replace autoconf2.13) and xulrunner-19.2.6 _xulver=1.9.2.6 depends=('xulrunner=1.9.2.6' 'desktop-file-utils' 'mime-types' 'shared-mime-info') makedepends=('zip' 'libgnomeui>=2.22.1' 'python' 'wireless_tools' 'autoconf') Icecat seem work fine
