Official firefox-pgo thread

I would say no chances If we cannot build it default, chance to build experimental qt gui are minimal...

I was able to build the new 3.5rc1 pgo package with the "$OBJDIR/_profileprofile" shell script but it would not start properly..... I got the "$prog" ${1+"$@"} error when trying to start it in the terminal.

So I just built it normally and ran a profile shell script to create /_profileprofile in my ~/.mozilla/firefox directory, then I ran the browser as it was running that shell script through the mozilla dromaeo performance tests for 33 minutes and closed it afterwards..... Then I created a new profile and used the ~/.mozilla/firefox/_profileprofile directory for my new profile.

this is the shell script I have been running after the build:

#!/bin/sh
export NO_EM_RESTART=1
mkdir $OBJDIR/home/seventy3/.mozilla/firefox/_profileprofile
$OBJDIR/usr/bin/firefox -no-remote -profile $OBJDIR/home/seventy3/.mozilla/firefox/_profileprofile

I'm not sure if this really helps or not.

As the browser is running this script I run these dromaeo tests.... I use the 'Run All Tests' selection: http://dromaeo.com/

The tests take about 33 minutes for me, then I close the browser. I have tried running both the sunspider tests first, and then the dromaeo tests and I have had my browser freeze. When forcing it to close my terminal also had this same "$prog" ${1+"$@"} error. When only running the dromaeo tests I didn't get that error.

Just to say this one more time, I don't think any of this actually improved anything..... my benchmark tests are still the exact same for before and after.

With seenxu's post I was able to get firefox 3.5rc1 compiled.
This is NOT a pgo build

I used firefox-pgo as the base for this pkgbuild.

After weeks of trying, I got it working thanks to bond's configuration (with --enable-profile-guided-optimization in mozconfig). x86_64 both 3.5b4, 3.5b99 and rc1 can be compiled now. Only thing missing is ogg support, enabling it always ends in error at nsOggDecoder.

This PKGBUILD worked for me (well.. almost) - even though I'm running i686 I could not make PGO compile before.
Firefox itself compiled just fine, the PKGBUILD failed for me on:

sed: nie mozna odczytac /home/rumil/src/pkgs/firefox-pgo-beta/pkg/usr/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu

(for non Pol's : no such file exist).
Actually no *.pc files exist in ${pkgdir}.
The browser runs _almost_ fine ;-). I did't get any segfaults, however: I usally use futuremark.com/peacekeeper to benchark browsers, but this build just hangs for me on testing string operations. Maybe I'll try again with JIT disabled.

blasse · 2009-06-14 14:30:12

The names are not correct, I cannot corect them myself before because it won't build for me
Glad it works for someone, sad not for me

I say 'stops' because it doesnt really fail, it just sits there without doing anything. Supposedly thats where firefox would load and the profiling would take place..but i see no firefox window.
Where does your build fail blasse?

PS.:those xlib errors are unrelated to this.

Edit: i was talking about rc1

Hey bond, trying to do this myself, but having a hard time finding the minefield source code, and found that it is not provided. So how did you manage to compile from minefield?

EDIT: Used mercurial to use the central trunk, and did build a pgo firefox. Typing on it right now!! Thanks bond.

Ok, works fine now, I just had an old instance of Firefox 3.0.11 loaded.

http://omploader.org/vMXU3MA/firefox.jpg

EDIT: I removed the CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS and replaced the LDFLAGS line with
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/firefox-${pkgver}"

Can be that's not a PGO build anymore, but Firefox runs quite fast.

It's PGO, you just removed some optimizations It will work just fine that way.

Removing the gtk-qt-engine fixed it... For some reason ff3.5 doesnt exit properly when the engine is in use, i can see one ff process still alive after quitting and when i SIGTERM'd that process the build would fail.
I actually managed to build rc1 but it failed when it was creating the pkg exactly at this line in the pkgbuild

sed -i -e "s/xulrunner-${pkgver}/xulrunner-1.9.1/g" -e "s/xulrunner-devel-${pkgver}/xulrunner-devel-1.9.1/g" ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc || return 1

asking about some missing .pc files..

blasse · 2009-06-16 19:49:57

Try changing this line to:
sed -i -e "s/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/mozilla-1.9.1/g" -e "s/mozilla-devel-${pkgver}/mozilla-devel-1.9.1/g" ${pkgdir}/usr/lib
I know it's wrong, but i cannot correct it myself

Pank · 2009-06-16 20:55:53

This is not very productive but the 3.5b99 on AUR worked like a charm for me. No problems what so ever (despite the long compilation). I did dare going to compile RC1 due to all this thread and due to the long compilation time.

3.5-pgo is fast though.

Someone have any 3.1/3.5 version compiled for 64 bits that work? I cannot make eithe pgo or no-pgo to run (tested with 3.1b3 3.5b4 3.5b99 3.5rc1) I get segfaults on startup.

methuselah · 2009-06-16 23:19:19

None of this may be correct or necessary, but this is what I did since I can't build pgo at all since 3.1b3

I just ditched the pgo, and built a normal optimized build with CFLAGS/LDFLAGS that compiles correctly using blasses firefox-pgo-beta tarball.

Before building the package I modified my /etc/makepkg.conf file's CFLAGS to not use the "-O2" or "-pipe" optimizations since the mozilla optimizer does this already in the mozconfig file. (I did this because someone had said that exporting CFLAGS had caused a problem..... I'm not sure if this is true but why chance it)

Then I added this patch from the bug page: https://bug418866.bugzilla.mozilla.org/ … ?id=372234

.... and I modified the patch from this comment 47: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418866#c47

Then I modified the PKGBUILD to not use the profile shell script, or client.mk profiledbuild, and to add the new patch and md5sums:

This part might not be necessary at all.

Then after building it I run this script using "-no-remote -profile". (I'm not sure if this actually does anything)

#!/bin/sh
export NO_EM_RESTART=1
mkdir $OBJDIR/home/"your_name"/.mozilla/firefox/_profileprofile
$OBJDIR/usr/bin/firefox -no-remote -profile $OBJDIR/home/"your_name"/.mozilla/firefox/_profileprofile

Then as it is running as 'firefox -no-remote -profile' I do the dromaeo "All Tests" from here: http://dromaeo.com/?all

After that I close the browser, then I ran:

firefox -ProfileManage

and I create a new profile and use the newly created "/home/"your_name"/.mozilla/firefox/_profileprofile" directory for it. My benchmarks are still the same, but it still feels fast and quick when opening..... I'm sure a real pgo build would be much better. (I also compared all files in /_profileprofile and they are the exact same..... so this package is probably just an optimized firefox-3.5rc1 with no real pgo)
