Arch Linux User Repository

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.

@unphysicalix I've build it 3 days ago and it was fine. Did you clean local builddir before?

Hi. icecat 102.12.0-1 does not compile anymore, 102.11.x did. Here is the error message:

if this is only on my machine, please tell me.

@AgentLoneStar007 it's weird because python-jsonschema is a makedepend. Can you try removing all build directory cache and try again?

Getting this error upon attempting to install: ==> Extracting sources... -> Extracting gnuzilla-5a1894fc966840dc242110ec0459471c637a4675.tar.gz with bsdtar ==> Starting prepare()...

@earlybird what do you mean? The script downloads firefox sources from mozilla.org... Can you retry? It should be ok.

the package can not be build failure while downloading ...

@nfitzen thank you. I don't remember why I comment "ac_add_options --disable-eme" (I think because it doesn't build in some point), but I tried now and it seems to be working. I'll disable eme in the next release.

@figue the GNU Project, for obvious reasons, hates EME, thus IceCat is supposed to disable it entirely. Without the option, EME appears to be enabled.

@maid I don't understand why I built this package with --disable-eme...

Can you edit PKGBUILD and delete "ac_add_options --disable-eme"? If it works I'll push the commit.
