Arch Linux User Repository

Building this package takes a very long time. To avoid excessive rebuilds, updates will be delayed until the weekend following releases. aur/floorp-bin will be updated more quickly.

This package cannot be updated on the basis of blog posts. Wait until an actual release is available before flagging: https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/releases/

If you have problems building this package, read and follow instructions in the other pinned comment.

aur/floorp now builds from source. Binary package available at aur/floorp-bin.

• If you have problems building:

  • Try clearing cached sources.
  • Try building in a clean chroot.
  • Provide details needed to reproduce the problem: build environment, computer specs, graphics card, desktop environment, commands used to build, etc.
  • Provide the full log in a pastebin.

• Some options are available by setting environment variables:

  • _build_pgo=false: Don't use profile-guided optimization (PGO). (Builds faster, but runs slower.)
  • _build_pgo_reuse=false: Make new PGO profile.
  • _build_pgo_xvfb=true: Profile with xvfb-run instead of wlheadless-run.

• To reduce rebuild times, this package attempts to save and reuse PGO profiles for patch-level releases. Profiles are regenerated for new major and minor releases. (major.minor.patch)

It is successful to compile it with pkgctl build (in Arch clean chroot) by using xvfb-run instead of wlheadless-run, but still with git repo.

Updated PKGBUILD here: https://gist.github.com/JaHIY/81cdb2bc36510f777ef3e7a3782cac64

@xiota OK, I'll try to compile it again without sccache. And perhaps you are right. It is not the better way to use git repo instead of tar.gz.

@jahiy sccache is not useful with PGO. The cache prevents optimization or has to be discarded for the recompilation stage. Your build probably "succeeded" by silently disabling PGO.

Shallow clones have to be redownloaded, so waste bandwidth on rebuild, relative to the tarball. Shallow clones have to be setup by the user in makepkg.conf.

Your PKGBUILD also discards and redownloads submodules on rebuild, wasting more bandwidth.

@xiota

The bandwidth usage you mentioned cannot be ignored. Using git repo requires downloading about 4GB of data, while downloading tar.gz only requires 700MB. However, using git repo allows for the synchronization of submodules using git submodule, which is very convenient. Perhaps we can use the git clone -b <tagname> --depth 1 <repository> to obtain a shallow copy of the repo.

There's one more thing I almost forgot to mention. I also set --with-ccache=sccache in mozconfig, but I don't know whether it really speed up compilation.

@jahiy Thanks. I'll take a look. The problem with MOZ_PGO=1 is it previously didn't work in Arch clean chroot. This will probably take some time to solve.

The problem with using the git repo is it uses more bandwidth up front. With Floorp, you would probably make it up after [6] builds without clearing cache. For Firefox, probably over 15 builds would be required. I'll think about it more after I figure out the PGO issue.

I rewrote the PKGBUILD, mainly in build() part. You can checkout it here. https://gist.github.com/JaHIY/81cdb2bc36510f777ef3e7a3782cac64

The following page introduced how to compile firefox with PGO. It works for me. https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/build/buildsystem/pgo.html

The PGO method in official firefox PKGBUILD doesn't work for me. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/firefox/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD?ref_type=heads

And I also use git repo (tag) instead of tar.gz file.

@xiota After set export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="$srcdir/xdg" in prepare() , I got another error:
