Please refrain from abusing the flagging of a package as out of date for build issues. This is not what it is supposed to be used for.

I automatically get notified of comments to this package. I do not need to be notified of whatever build problems occur (whether they are an individual's problems or the actual package's problems) twice, and not via flagging it out of date.

Issues with this package can also be reported at https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues (as it is also maintained there, at https://codeberg.org/librewolf/arch, too).

After last system update:

Note that you are running Mach with Python 3.13.1, which is higher than the highest known working version of Python for Mach. Consider running Mach with Python 3.11 or lower.

Running the following command may solve your issue:

python3.9 ./mach build --priority normal

I haven't managed to get it to build with mold either and opted to remove related options from LDFLAGS and RUSTFLAGS. If you don't need mold for this package it's an easy fix

2.47.1

Hello all, I apologize for coming in with a completely unrelated issue. I have been trying to build Librewolf using the mold linker, I get these results:

3:11.52 = note: ld.lld: error: unknown argument '-fuse-ld=mold' 3:11.53 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) 3:11.53 3:11.53 error: could not compileproc-macro2(build script) due to 1 previous error 3:12.31 make[4]: *** [/home/Blake/.cache/yay/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/makefiles/rust.mk:504: force-cargo-library-build] Error 101 3:12.63 make[3]: *** [/home/Blake/.cache/yay/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/recurse.mk:72: toolkit/library/rust/target-objects] Error 2 3:12.64 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... 3:15.25 make[2]: *** [/home/Blake/.cache/yay/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/recurse.mk:34: compile] Error 2 3:15.25 make[1]: *** [/home/Blake/.cache/yay/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/rules.mk:359: default] Error 2 3:15.25 make: *** [client.mk:60: build] Error 2 3:15.45 W 0 compiler warnings present. ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... -> error making: librewolf-exit status 4 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required: librewolf - exit status 4

I then attempted to change the pkgbuild itself by changing the line: ac_add_options --enable-linker=mold However, it spits out this error:

2:50.12 = note: mold: fatal: -auxiliary may not be used without -shared 2:50.13 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) 2:50.13 2:50.14 error: could not compileproc-macro2(build script) due to 1 previous error 2:50.85 make[4]: *** [/home/Blake/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/makefiles/rust.mk:504: force-cargo-library-build] Error 101 2:50.85 make[3]: *** [/home/Blake/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/recurse.mk:72: toolkit/library/rust/target-objects] Error 2 2:50.85 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... 2:54.06 make[2]: *** [/home/Blake/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/recurse.mk:34: compile] Error 2 2:54.06 make[1]: *** [/home/Blake/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/rules.mk:359: default] Error 2 2:54.06 make: *** [client.mk:60: build] Error 2 2:54.26 W 0 compiler warnings present. ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... Perhaps this is merely a mold issue and not a librewolf issue? Other applications compiled just fine, however.

importing mozillas pgp key might help people unable to install due to missing keys.

Trying to build at the moment gives the following error:

0:04.34 ERROR: The libclang located at /usr/lib/libclang.so is too old (need at least 5.0). 0:04.34 Please make sure to update it or point to a newer libclang using 0:04.34 --with-libclang-path.

Installed clang:

And we're right back to uncompilable again, just like before. Edit: Clean-building doesn't help, sometimes you have to flat out remove the entire librewolf folder from the yay cache. (~/.cache/yay/librewolf) Sometimes it'll compile, sometimes it won't.

@knuxyl, I was lucky enough to get 130.0-1 that worked but -2 and -3 failed, same error you have. Edit: I won't be disabling hwaccel either, so I'll wait until it's fixed. I wonder what's causing this. I noticed 130 changed the browser's DNS settings to Mozilla's Cloudflare crap instead of Off (system DNS). Mozilla's getting creepier and creepier.

It seems to have been built properly because librewolf-129.0.2-1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 is created and contains a working executable. Not sure what is going on. I'd rather wait for a fix than to force libgl to use software rendering, if that's what's even causing this error. This is on a Zen 4 desktop with 96gb ram.

To fix this, I had to use --skippgpcheck in my AUR update command.
