PKGBUILD has been updated. Major changes:

  • Downloads Firefox ESR and localization using the source array. Files are saved for reuse.
  • Saves freshly patched IceCat sources in a tarball for reuse.
  • Saves the PGO profile for reuse.

Notes:

  • Currently requires clang/llvm 17, which has to be built from AUR.
  • Wayland users, consider setting _build_pgo_xvfb=false. This will use xwayland-run for profiling.
  • PGO should work now, but if it doesn't and you're willing to go without, try _build_pgo=false.
  • Running out of RAM? Try adding mk_add_options MOZ_PARALLEL_BUILD=___ around line 300. Pick a value less than number of cores and free RAM in GB. For example, on a system with 8 cores, 64GB total RAM, but only 6 GB free, the value should be set to 4 or 5.
    • If a few people can confirm this is helpful, I will consider adding it as an additional option.
    • Main resource hog seems to be linking libxul.so. Leave a comment if you have a potential solution.

Having problems? Please provide details: processor make and model, number of cores, free -m, full log in pastebin, whether using AUR helper/makepkg/clean chroot, etc.

Yes! I have an idea: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/304633/ In short, we don't include it in the package. Also, I removed pkg-config because it's in the base-devel group, replaced a couple hard tabs with spaces, and added a "package()" function. ^_^

I have a little problem with v3.6.13. IceCat put a extension in /usr/lib/icecat-3.6/extensions/privacy_ext.xpi, so in every start IceCat prompt to install it. For now, the only way to fix it is to remove it manually after first restart. I'd could show a message in post installation script... Anybody have a better idea? Thanks

It's true. Fixed! (same pkgrel)

Umm, in the source tarball, why are these files executable? icecat.desktop icecat.install icecat-safe.desktop xulrunner-copy-stub.patch

figue commented on 2010-10-28 20:51 (UTC)

use this patch: http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/firefox/trunk/python2.7.patch

jackoneill commented on 2010-10-19 18:39 (UTC)

Please change 'python' to 'python2' in the makedeps, because the package called 'python' now provides version 3.1.2 and it throws this error while building icecat: /usr/bin/python ../toolkit/xre/make-platformini.py --print-buildid > buildid File "../toolkit/xre/make-platformini.py", line 17 print datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S') ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
