Please refrain from abusing the flagging of a package as out of date for build issues. This is not what it is supposed to be used for.

I automatically get notified of comments to this package. I do not need to be notified of whatever build problems occur (whether they are an individual's problems or the actual package's problems) twice, and not via flagging it out of date.

Issues with this package can also be reported at https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues (as it is also maintained there, at https://codeberg.org/librewolf/arch, too).

Thanks @xiota !

Here's an alternate PKGBUILD for anyone interested. It's written for x86_64 only. Based on packages of some other Firefox forks.

ohh well, I disabled profiling through this:

# change this to false if you do not want to run a PGO build for aarch64 or x86_64
_build_profiled_aarch64=false
_build_profiled_x86_64=false

but then the linker fails due to missing profiling symbos, :(

I guess there's no alternative but to do profiling.

Building in clean chroot with changes to address other issues (eg, software rendering). Profiling for PGO fails.

Exiting due to channel error.
Firefox exited with code -11 during profile initialization

Appears to be caused by ublock origin. Disabling prior to instrumented build allows profiling to succeed. Requires jq in makedeps.

# temporarily disable ublock-origin, interferes with profiling
cp "lw/policies.json" "$srcdir/policies.json"
jq 'del(.policies.Extensions.Install)' "$srcdir/policies.json" > "lw/policies.json"

Then re-enable prior to optimized build:

# reenable ublock-origin
cp "$srcdir/policies.json" "lw/policies.json"

Seems like not actual build failure, any hint?

Thanks !

After last system update:

Note that you are running Mach with Python 3.13.1, which is higher than the highest known working version of Python for Mach. Consider running Mach with Python 3.11 or lower.

Running the following command may solve your issue:

python3.9 ./mach build --priority normal

I haven't managed to get it to build with mold either and opted to remove related options from LDFLAGS and RUSTFLAGS. If you don't need mold for this package it's an easy fix

Hello all, I apologize for coming in with a completely unrelated issue. I have been trying to build Librewolf using the mold linker, I get these results:

3:11.52 = note: ld.lld: error: unknown argument '-fuse-ld=mold' 3:11.53 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) 3:11.53 3:11.53 error: could not compileproc-macro2(build script) due to 1 previous error 3:12.31 make[4]: *** [/home/Blake/.cache/yay/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/makefiles/rust.mk:504: force-cargo-library-build] Error 101 3:12.63 make[3]: *** [/home/Blake/.cache/yay/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/recurse.mk:72: toolkit/library/rust/target-objects] Error 2 3:12.64 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... 3:15.25 make[2]: *** [/home/Blake/.cache/yay/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/recurse.mk:34: compile] Error 2 3:15.25 make[1]: *** [/home/Blake/.cache/yay/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/rules.mk:359: default] Error 2 3:15.25 make: *** [client.mk:60: build] Error 2 3:15.45 W 0 compiler warnings present. ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... -> error making: librewolf-exit status 4 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required: librewolf - exit status 4

I then attempted to change the pkgbuild itself by changing the line: ac_add_options --enable-linker=mold However, it spits out this error:

2:50.12 = note: mold: fatal: -auxiliary may not be used without -shared 2:50.13 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) 2:50.13 2:50.14 error: could not compileproc-macro2(build script) due to 1 previous error 2:50.85 make[4]: *** [/home/Blake/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/makefiles/rust.mk:504: force-cargo-library-build] Error 101 2:50.85 make[3]: *** [/home/Blake/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/recurse.mk:72: toolkit/library/rust/target-objects] Error 2 2:50.85 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... 2:54.06 make[2]: *** [/home/Blake/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/recurse.mk:34: compile] Error 2 2:54.06 make[1]: *** [/home/Blake/librewolf/src/librewolf-133.0-1/config/rules.mk:359: default] Error 2 2:54.06 make: *** [client.mk:60: build] Error 2 2:54.26 W 0 compiler warnings present. ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

importing mozillas pgp key might help people unable to install due to missing keys.
