Re: Weird firefox rendering

matse: Do you mean the PKGBUILD? Sure, here it is (I hope hpaste is fine, as I really don't know if there is a preferred pastebin service around here).

Re: Weird firefox rendering

You set your flags in the build() function, I suspect that they are therefore defined lcoally in this function. So either set them also in the package () function (where make is called that compiles firefox) or set them directly for the whole package like you did it with the !strip option and as it is explained in your linked wiki article, then debug symbols should be present.

//Edit: what i wrote is rubbish, overread the "install" in package(), don't know why it doesn't work for you.

//Edit2: Just tried to compile it with debug flags, too and realized that gcc was ececuted with -O2 as last option, short googling brought me to this site, basically add

export MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS=1

to your build() function and add

ac_add_options --enable-debug-symbols="-gdwarf-2"
ac_add_options --disable-install-strip

these lines to your mozconfig and try again...

Re: Weird firefox rendering

Thanks, I didn't think about the odd mozilla build system. Here is a proper backtrace:

It looks like it is referring to some files in the build directory, while it obviously shouldn't... I don't know how to fix that, though.

Re: Weird firefox rendering

Maybe you could build firefox from ABS without the new patch, as it is in the repos and look whether this works, just to exclude that not a package that is not from the official repos is the source of your problems. If this build does not crash you might post your backtrace to the bug report where the patch is from, probably the people there can help you more in this specific issue.

Re: Weird firefox rendering

Well, firefox segfaults even with a vanilla ABS PKGBUILD, so it seems to be a build related issue. I'll try looking into it, though any insight would be much appreciated (btw, thank you matse for your help).

Re: Weird firefox rendering

hmm my first guess would be that you have installed some libraries from the AUR or an unofficial repo, so would you post the output of "pacman -Qm" and look in your pacman.conf whether you have any unofficial repo listed there?

Re: Weird firefox rendering

I have only one unofficial repo in my pacman.conf, which is [haskell] and shouldn't affect firefox at all (it mainly contains developing tools and libriaries for the Haskell programming language). I have installed a bunch of packages from the AUR, though:

Re: Weird firefox rendering

At a first glance I don't see a problem with your packages, too. Could you also post the output of "ldd -r /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so" (with a self build firefox of you)?

I also tried building it without optimizations and pgo, but that didn't help either (not that I was putting much in that).

Re: Weird firefox rendering

Sorry, no idea anymore, my ldd output looks exactly the same. Is your system (and your mirror) full up to date? I have no ideas anymore, besides that you could try to build firefox in a chroot environment, but nevertheless it should also work if you just build it, like you did, but no idea what causes your problems.

Re: Weird firefox rendering

Don't worry, I'll go back to using firefox from [extra], though I wanted to help with the testing. I'm still curious about why this is happening, but I don't know how to find out... do you get a "WARNING: Package contains reference to $srcdir", too, after building it with the PKGBUILD from ABS?

Re: Weird firefox rendering

Lately I switched back from the nvidia driver to the nouveau one, and must say I've had some trouble with firefox 12 from [extra] =/
Edit : seems it's corrected on latest conf.

Re: Weird firefox rendering

If it's of any interest, Gentoo has just added a patch to firefox, to use system cairo again:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~anarchy/mozilla/ … s/?C=M;O=D  (see 6009_fix_system_cairo_support.patch in firefox-12.0-patches-0.5.tar.xz)
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewv … t/firefox/

Personally, I've been using the patch for cairo itself, in comment 20, for a while with no problem.

Re: Weird firefox rendering

I made a firefox-system-cairo AUR package for Uli's (= Gentoo's) patch: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59634

It seems to work fine here (i686 build).
