If you got 404, then temporarily try to replace download.opensuse.org with downloadcontent.opensuse.org. That should enforce direct download without mirror.

@hawkeye116477 hey that worked great, and thanks for removing that --with-system-libvpx, no errors were thrown without it.

@toxygen In case of Clang issue, seems that disabling elf hack helps.

looks like the patch worked, so I was able to build. Without getting into a discussion about google/safe-browsing, i'll just say I prefer it off and appreciate your work on this package.

Sadly, even though the patch worked, the clang issue is still present for me, but it's an easy downgrade (until i forget to not clean up the clang/llvm files from pacman cache) so looks like it's building fine.

on a related note, are you having issues with libvpx 1.8.x? i have to manually set --without-system-libvpx for waterfox to build, otherwise i get a vpx error as per https://github.com/MrAlex94/Waterfox/issues/860 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1525393

i'm on libvpx 1.8.2 and it still gives the error, so I'm guessing the issue is in waterfox/firefox, not libvpx, but I'm wondering how you got it to build.

@toxygen I'm not sure if disabling Safe Browsing is good option. It may reduce security. See also https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/9tycve/how_much_of_a_privacy_issue_is_googles_safe/.

In case of that error, check if fix from https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/commit/8e8d4fdf49032bbd235cc745be2eece2ddfe4141.patch helps.

You can always also branch https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox/waterfox-classic-kpe and change it to like you want.

so it looks like building with latest llvm/clang is ok now, but now i'm getting some weird graphics lib error that I cant hunt down anywhere:

src/Waterfox/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/include/mozilla/dom/ImageBitmap.h:203:15: error: unknown type name 'gfxAlphaType' 5:17.30 gfxAlphaType aAlphaType = gfxAlphaType::Premult);

so @hawkeye116477, could you be so kind to build your binary version of waterfox-kpe-classic with additional flags:

--disable-safe-browsing --disable-synth-speechd

(only the first one is important to me, but the latter would be nice as well). Reason for this is to avoid browser from calling google on every request, as it does even when you disable in the options->security page ("Block dangerous and deceptive content). Meanwhile I'll keep hunting down that error, looks like a missing library or maybe and incompatible version.

@toxygen Oops, sorry, looks like I hurried up a little, anyway on line 231 was correct, name on source field was bad.

two items:

PKGBUILD line 231 should be : install -Dm644 $srcdir/waterfox-classic-kpe.1 \ "$pkgdir/usr/share/man/man1/waterfox-classic-kpe.1"

(fails because cannot stat waterfox-classic.1)

second, please warn that you renamed /usr/bin/waterfox to waterfox-classic. not a biggie but it was weird :-)

also, still cant build on rust 1.1.39 and clang/llvm 9.0.0 versions that work for me are clang 8.0.1-1 llvm 8.0.1-3 llvm-libs 8.0.1-3 compiler-rt 8.0.1-1 rust 1:1.38.0-1.1

newer versions through errors while compiling https://paste.artixlinux.org/27253548

@toxygen KPE means KDE Plasma Edition :-)
