Please refrain from abusing the flagging of a package as out of date for build issues.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occur (whether they are an individual's problems or the actual package's problems) twice, and not via flagging it out of date.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).

Yeah, sounds like a memory issue. I have 16GB and this happens sometimes when compiling locally as well.

You could try running it on fewer cores by uncommenting # mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j4" in the PKGBUILD and setting it to something like half the amount of your physical cores or lower. This will obviously make things take quite a bit longer but might also use less RAM.

Another things worth trying might be to add export LDFLAGS+=" -Wl,--no-keep-memory" to the PKGBUILD (at somewhere around line 81). This is currently only used for the aarch64 builds, but should also lead to the linking process using less memory.

@saloniamatteo: that can happen e.g. if you don't have enough RAM.

Yesterday I tried building this package twice, but it always failed in the same point, trying to compile gkrust, failing with an error code saying it received signal 9, and it was killed by kill, even though I set the process' niceness to -20 (the first time it was 0, the second time it was -20).

Does anyone else have the same issue?

@pfctl: The base-devel group is assumed to be installed, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Getting_started

please use patchs from https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/tree/packages/firefox/trunk and fix compilation with rust 1.48.0 Using older rust is no solution. Thanks

@ccorn: Yep, totally forgot that – sorry about that!
