Firefox 3.5b4

ammon · 2009-04-28 15:14:05

Can someone please make pkgbuild for new FF beta, but to use source and compile it.
Packets in aur are i688 and x68_64 specific and use i686 build made by mozilla.
This package that i propose can replace them both. And can be updated with every new beta or RC...

There is source ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/relea … b4/source/
And here are MD5 sums ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/relea … b4/MD5SUMS

And please dont place line "replace firefox3" so it can be used parallel with old firefox.
Thanks in advance.

Yep, tried that long time ago. Did not work. And it is tweaked. Not official.

then do it yourself.
you have the source and i see that you have the knowledge

ammon · 2009-04-28 22:47:02

No I dont, that why I asked someone.
Tried to play with both firefox-pgo and firefox-optimized pkgbuilds to figure out what I need to edit. But it dont know about that with C flags etc...

This puppy is not building properly (custom mozconfig) through ten builds, I'll keep on trying...

It wont compile. This is modified firefox-optimized pkgbuild.
I know I've missed something in the build section but I'm not sure what.
Tried with the firefox-beta-pgo build section but with no success.
Please help.

Note: I've used firefox-optimized mozconfig. Could that be it?

install -m644 ${srcdir}/mozilla/browser/branding/unofficial/default48.png ${pkgdir}/usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.png || return 1

This will throw a error, because the path is not correct.
Change it to:

install -m644 ${srcdir}/mozilla-1.9.1/browser/branding/unofficial/default48.png ${pkgdir}/usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.png || return 1

maybe you should start with posting the error you got. [edit] you did it while i was posting but... you need to copy/paste a bit earlier in the build process. this is unfortunately useless. [/edit]

3.0.10 PGO and 3.5b4 build w/o issue, 3.5b4 PGO does not. Have tried about 15 diff mozconfigs, no go, diff errors depending on options used.

I've been having trouble building the 3.5beta4 PGO. Did you ever get this to work properly.

I usually build with the blasse PGO package but it won't build since 3.1b3: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22919

I've also tried this one: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26057 as PGO and I keep getting the same error:

You didn't post the actual error message. It should be higher in the output.

Sorry. I didn't realize that and I'm not sure where that first error was. I was able to build that package once I stopped adding my own exported LDFLAGS, and I also removed the 'nss-new' AUR package and replaced it with the new version of 'nss' from the extra repo.

However, for a PGO build it only took 3-5 minutes to build.... so I'm not sure if it really built as a PGO since that other Firefox-PGO package takes over 1 hour to compile.

blasse · 2009-05-04 06:52:56

It may be possible - my PGO built without standalone Xulrunner. That makes compiling much longer, but you don't need to compile separate xul

adamlau · 2009-05-04 07:01:56

3-5 minutes? No way you built a PGO build. Even my Opteron box took about 30 minutes before the profile script started (and eventually failed) for 3.5b4.

It is extremely likely that you did a PGO build of the front-end (official Arch packages are like this too), which is pretty useless.

blasse · 2009-05-04 08:16:13

Most of AUR Firefox pkgs build just front-end. Optimizing it is pretty useless. Optimizing makes sense when building xulrunner or standalone application without xulrunner

ammon · 2009-05-04 09:12:38

Is firefox any faster without xulrunner (PGO package) or with it. I use ff 3.5b4 with custom compiled xulrunner. Performance is very, very good if matched with old ff.

blasse · 2009-05-04 10:25:16

PGO is much faster than normal build. It doesn't matter if you compile xulrunner with pgo or standalone ff with pgo. It's just a matter of your preferences.

EG. I'm using only one mozilla app - ff. So I don't need standalone xulrunner. That's why I packaged standalone ff. If someone is using FF, Thunderbird or anything more than one Mozilla app - standalone xulrunner is probably better

Yeah, I figured that was the case since a profile-guided build will usually take over an hour on my computer.... I just didn't want to sound arrogant about it since it did have "client.mk profiledbuild" in the PKGBUILD.... so I just did a quick benchmark and then removed the package (barely faster than my proper pgo 3.1b3).....

Another quick question.... what does the ubuntu patch do for this 3.5 package?

Yeah, I knew that.... 3.1b2 and 3.1b3 have both taken 1 hour+ to finish with my AMD Turion 64 X 2 running at 100% CPU for most of the build..... I was just trying to be polite about it. I had actually edited my comment from:
