Re: Official firefox-pgo thread

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

Re: Official firefox-pgo thread

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.

Re: Official firefox-pgo thread

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.


To get something done, a committee should consist of no more than three persons, two of them absent.

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.

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.

Re: Official firefox-pgo thread

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.

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

Re: Official firefox-pgo thread

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.

Re: Official firefox-pgo thread

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)
