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.

What is the reason for the pkgrel bump? (just curious)

figue commented on 2010-09-11 15:43 (UTC)

@Baho-Utot I have some issues in the past with lastest autoconf version (2.5.X). In Mozilla's developers says to use autoconf 2.13. This was the reason. https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Linux_Prerequisites#All_other_systems I'll try to use lastest version in the next release. Thank you

@Baho-Utot dude stop refreshing the page, you posted the same message 3 times already

Why the requirement for autoconf-2.13?? I just compiled it with autoconf-2.67-1 and it works

wonder commented on 2010-09-11 00:27 (UTC)

@Baho-Utot no. the actually package is called autoconf2.13 and is in extra

PKGBUILD has a flea makedepends=('zip' 'libgnomeui>=2.24.1' 'python' 'wireless_tools' 'autoconf2.13') shoud be makedepends=('zip' 'libgnomeui>=2.24.1' 'python' 'wireless_tools' 'autoconf>=2.13')
