I recently stumbled across the 'firfox-hg' package group and was curious which build options they set on their build. I found some which are interesting and integrated them into my local branch of this package. The resulting binary was 20mb smaller.

Is there some reason why the following aren't set in this PKGBUILD?

ac_add_options --with-system-nspr
ac_add_options --with-system-nss
ac_add_options --with-system-libvpx
ac_add_options --with-system-webp
ac_add_options --with-system-libevent
ac_add_options --with-system-icu
ac_add_options --with-system-zlib
ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg
ac_add_options --disable-updater
# to include the following might be controversial/ not appropriate for a official package build...
ac_add_options --enable-strip
ac_add_options --enable-optimize
ac_add_options --enable-rust-simd
ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O3 -march=native"
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk3-wayland-only

To fix icon issues in KDE Plasma Wayland, add the following symlink. The desktop file name needs to match the app-id Wayland property.

ln -srvf "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/$pkgname.desktop" "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/LibreWolf.desktop"

Hi @NeWolf, I also tried to compile and it crashes on "--crate-name shift" which gets killed by -9 (segfault). On my machine it seems to be the docker container that I run try to compile it in. Doing the same thing on a different (more potent, less virtualized) machine also in a docker container goes through.

Same thing happens for trying to compile icecat. So, might be a hint: more RAM, more CPU, more SWAP, more HDD, less virtualization. Tell me, if you found your reason.

@lsf, may I please inquire what CI you use to build the binaries? I need to set up my own patched compilation of librewolf.

lsf commented on 2023-04-17 07:27 (UTC)

@Luziferus: a somewhat late thanks for your info – that was indeed an issue and your solution would've fixed it, but before I got around to changing that, manjaro seemed to have updated to ffmpeg 6, too, so it solved itself :D

Luziferus666 commented on 2023-03-28 07:28 (UTC) (edited on 2023-03-28 07:28 (UTC) by Luziferus666)

@lsf you're right. I had no base-devel installed. Strange.

The _ffmpeg_ver issue is that it's 2:5.1.2-1 with two dots.

  • _ffmpeg_ver="${_ffmpeg_ver#*:}" removes the 2: and we result in 5.1.2-1
  • _ffmpeg_ver="${_ffmpeg_ver%.*}" removes the last .2-1 and we end up having 5.1 which is still not a number :)

I guess the version shall not go beyond two dots meaning calling _ffmpeg_ver="${_ffmpeg_ver%.*}" two times shall fix that long versions issue.

lsf commented on 2023-03-28 07:09 (UTC)

Both are odd errors:

  _ffmpeg_ver="${_ffmpeg_ver#*:}"
  _ffmpeg_ver="${_ffmpeg_ver%.*}"

should cut the string down to the major ffmpeg version number, and with that, -gt 5 should work. At least it did in my tests?

patch should come with https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any/base-devel/, which is more or less a requirement for building things from the AUR anyway, which is why it wouldn't be added as a dependency, as it's assumed installed at this point.

Still probably helpful should anyone else come upon those issues, so thanks for pointing out solutions :)
