The build process checks out UXP at commit a731633d7b50e4ec88a1a4b54d578d1abb3c4b12:

==> Starting prepare()...
Submodule 'platform' (https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/UXP) registered for path 'platform'                       
Cloning into '/build/palemoon/src/Pale-Moon/platform'...
done.                                                                                                                   
Submodule path 'platform': checked out 'a731633d7b50e4ec88a1a4b54d578d1abb3c4b12'

...which is what the submodule was configured as when 28.9.0.2 was tagged. If that isn't correct, then it's an upstream problem you guys need to fix. ;)

I really hope you have this building with the right UXP commit point else you will have serious issues.

It might be better to request specific tarballs from github.

Great browser -- really fast! It took a while to compile, but did so without any errors. I'm glad this is in the repository. :)

Thanks for pointing out the breakage, nazarianin. Package updated.

I've not bumped the pkgrel, as people who built the current version before glibc 2.30 hit [core] should continue to work fine, so there's little benefit for them to rebuild.

Hi. Can you add this patch for compile with newer glibc versions? https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/UXP/commit/e31d79e8da99456247df84c2f99ba9083d46efe1

@dreieck:

The solution was to remove --strip-all from the LDFLAGS.

I added to the PKGBUILD:

export LDFLAGS="$(sed 's|,--strip-all||g' <<< "${LDFLAGS}")"

When trying to build, build fails for me with

Just before starting the build, the *FLAGS-variables are:

CFLAGS:

-O3 -g0 -march=x86-64 -mtune=native -ftree-vectorize -pipe --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fPIC -fstack-protector

CXXFLAGS:

-O3 -g0 -march=x86-64 -mtune=native -ftree-vectorize -pipe --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fPIC -fstack-protector -fpermissive

CPPFLAGS (set in the PKGBUILD, not in /etc/makepkg.conf):

 -O2 -Wno-format-overflow

LDFLAGS:

-Wl,-O1,-z,relro,-z,now,--strip-all,--as-needed,--relax,--sort-common,--hash-style=gnu,--enable-new-dtags

and build is executed with

python2 mach build -j1

Any idea what could be the problem here?

Thank you for the consideration. Of course, I will inform you if there are any issues.

Thanks for formatting. Is there anything else useful in the referenced log file and/or the system journal? Can you reproduce the problem with palemoon-bin?

I note you're using the intel video driver, if it's an option for your system, see if you can reproduce the problem with the modesetting driver.

Formatted, worth saying there is a new glibc and lib32-glibs update, wonder if resolves the issue.
