I've seen a blog post claiming that Tracemonkey doesn't support linux on x86_64 yet:
http://hacks.mozilla.org/2009/06/tracemonkey-demo/

We don't have 64 bit support for Linux in 3.5. Sounds like it's coming at some point, though.

This is like all the efforts... for nothing.

Tracemonkey is disabled for linux 64:

Firefox 3.5 is noticeably faster than 3.0.x even without TM And PGO gives another 15-25% gain

Yeah, but I don't have TM or PGO.

So, we can't compile firefox on x86_64 right now and to make matters worse if we do manage to comple firefox it doesn't have tracemonkey for x86_64... one of it's biggest new features. That just SUCKS HARD!

here midori is about 3 times faster then FF3. perhaps time to switch ^_^

resadent · 2009-07-02 17:55:43

Well, I have finally instaled firefox-pgo 3.5, but when I run "firefox", I get this error:

edu@Naru ~/ $ firefox
/usr/lib/firefox-3.5/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 17973 Violación de segmento "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

, now I'm now using midori. Maybe it's time to switch.

I tried compiling Firefox-pgo on x86_64 using gcc-snapshot 20090604, and it failed. I installed gcc-snapshot 20090604 by editing the PKGBUILD for the current gcc-snapshot in AUR. The reason that you were able to get Firefox to compile and I was not may be due to differences between the PKGBUILD you used to build gcc-snapshot and the one I used. So, by any chance do you still have the PKGBUILD, and if so, could you please post it to this thread.

Thanks,

Jay

There is a link for old gcc-snapshot pkgbuild and binary on firefox-pgo-beta comments

pyther · 2009-07-02 21:14:43

Well I was able to compile using the latest gcc-snapshot build without a problem, so I don't think it has anything to do with the gcc-snapshot version. To the people who are having issues compiling 3.5, are you using testing (repo) and can you build a non-pgo version?

I'm not using [testing]. I haven't tried building a non-pgo version. I was able to build swiftweasel-3.5rc3, which apparently is a pgo build.

I built gcc-snapshot-20080604 using the PKGBUILD from that link, tried to build firefox-pgo again on x86_64, and the build failed with the same "-11" error.

This is a bad news, voted. (Mozilla only looks for win builds, so sad)

Renan Birck · 2009-07-03 01:36:47

This is what I get when I try build firefox-pgo, no matter what patch I select:

OBJDIR=/mnt/arquivos/firefox-pgo/firefox-pgo/src/mozilla-1.9.1/ff-pgo python /mnt/arquivos/firefox-pgo/firefox-pgo/src/mozilla-1.9.1/ff-pgo/_profile/pgo/profileserver.py

make: ** [profiledbuild] Erro 245

As per http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22919, I tried "Run firefox{-bin} from ff-pgo/dist/bin/, check the error." and I get this:

  (52) [renan@sanctuary:~/Arquivos/firefox-pgo/firefox-pgo/src/mozilla-1.9.1/ff-pgo/dist/bin] $ ./firefox
./run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 17470 Falha de segmentação  "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

I'm using gcc-snapshot 4.5.20090625 on Arch Linux x86_64 from [testing] on a Intel Core 2 Duo T5550.

EDIT:

firefox-bin[16627] general protection ip:2b666b6c8268 sp:7fff96ff32c0 error:0 in libxul.so[2b666ada9000+23ba000]

reading the AUR page for firefox-pgo-beta I noticed that people solved the problem with segfault in libxul.so by upgrading to GCC 4.5. (which I did and didn't work for me).

Any ideas? (if none, I will stay with the Firefox from the repos).

Thanks.

As mentioned in thread - it happens on x86-64 and nobody really knows why... It can just compile without changes after xxx tries... If you don't know to spend a night or to over it - don't even start

Rydgel · 2009-07-03 12:06:58

After your recently update on the PKGBUILD, firefox doesn't compile anymore on i686. I will post the stack trace tonight.

Posted already in comments. It's probably fault of --as-needed ldflag. Remove it and compile again. I will reupload pkgbuild later today.

pyther · 2009-07-03 22:57:51

Well I think I found some interesting information. After I upgraded (from the repos) and attempted to recompile I got an error, during the compile test, that firefox-bin could not load libjpeg.so.62

I was very confused by this error because I should have been building against libjpeg.so.7 (that's what I installed). I talked to brain0 and he suggested running LD_DEBUG=files /home/pyther/builds/firefox-pgo/src/mozilla-1.9.1/ff-pgo/dist/bin/firefox

The debug output showed that /usr/lib/firefox-3.5/libxul.so was trying to use libjpeg.so.62. This caused me to wonder why libs were trying to be used from /usr/lib/firefox-3.5/. I was not sure, but I uninstalled firefox-pgo, and rebuilt. This time I got a segment fault.

I think the reason for the libs being used is because of this in LDFLAGS: -rpath,/usr/lib/firefox-3.5

EDIT: I believe this might explain why, it would build for some and not others

@pyther thanks for posting that, I had the same so.62 error yesterday and couldn't figure it out.
I just uninstalled firefox and rebuilding now, hopefully it builds this time Oo. what a pain pgo is, but on my old computer it
seems to make enough difference to make it worth it.

pyther · 2009-07-04 01:25:33

Let us know if it recompiles for you. I know when I tried I got the segment faults like everyone else.

Removing the last ffox-pgo seems to have done it.
It built and works fine now with libjpeg-7 on i686.

The current pkgbuild in aur gives me an error after about 5 minutes that i forgot to look into, so i went back to one from a couple days ago that worked for me.

heres the pkgbuild and mozconfig i used.

dbus is disabled, no external hunspell, and disabled safe browsing are the only other changes i made.
