oh, btw your depends had libxt listed twice, and you should add sqlite3 to the depends as well,
when I went to built mozilla-central it required > 3.6.14-1 before it would start building.

sqlite3 id needed by nss, nss is in deps, so no need to add sqlite3 to deps

Has gcc-snapshot in deps, cleared patches and removed devel libs. Compiles and works fine for me
If testing confirms this workaround I will update aur package.

Was hopeful about this one, installed gcc 4.5 and everything.

Unfortunate I got the same error as everyone else

./run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 22865 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

We must be getting close!

I could build rc2-2 with gcc-snapshot ...0604 (but couldn't with ...0618).
I commented out unset flags from pkgbuild and "disable-printing" from mozconfig and removed "=optimze options" from mozconfig.
This is the first really stable build for me. Thanks blasse!

With gcc 4.5 I'm getting now the same error somebody have on second page about

firefox-bin: undefined symbol: __gcov_indirect_call_profiler

Someone know a workaround?

oszabolcs · 2009-06-25 01:06:06

I got it too, -lgcov in LDFLAGS (export LDFLAGS="-lgcov -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/firefox-3.5") from blasse's 3.5rc2-2 solved it for me.

This is due some very old code in mozilla. They will be removing it with migration from ff2 support. For now, use -lgcov linker flag and ldflags2.patch - both may or may not help...

bond · 2009-06-25 10:31:47

even after disabling optimize/unset cflags/printing

./run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  8349 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"

arrrrggggg

blasse · 2009-06-26 05:25:38

That is some code/gcc error.... It must be so...
BTW. On AUR there is new version of ffrc3

blasse · 2009-06-29 19:55:04

Probably tomorrow firefox-3.5 will go stable. Since it won't be beta no more, I will move it to firefox-pgo. Firefox-pgo-beta will remain 3.5 too until mozilla will release 3.6a1.

The question is what to do with 3.0.x branch. Should I deprecate it or move to new pkg, firefox-pgo-legacy?

Well I'd personally deprecate it, i'm sure if others still want an older version of firefox, they can live without a pgo-build from the aur

+1
Deprecate it , becouse there no need too using older version addons works fine Firefox 3.5 is faster and more stable tham 3.0 versions

markg85 · 2009-06-30 17:46:36

Just wondering.. do i have to use gcc 4.5 to get firefox 3.5 compiling? or is it just a fancy but not required option?
Or am i getting a big performance boost with gcc 4.5 and firefox PGO (pgo is the component that 'requires' gcc 4.5 right)..?

Or do i just need firefox-3.5 from aur.. some more information please. this is kinda fuzzy.

pgo ang gcc are very buggy together on x86-64 and less buggy when using gcc-4.5 This gcc-snapshot from AUR is made such way, that it will install as a second gcc, not overwriting normal arch gcc. You could try compile it with gcc-4.4 by just commenting "export gcc-4.5" lines in pkgbuild.

I got the exact same, using gcc-4.5 on x86_64 and I was not using yaourt.

You are n x86-64, right?
Run firefox{-bin} from ff-pgo/dist/bin/, check the error. If it's libxul, you can read about it in this topic. You could try removing optimization from mozconfig (by changing --enable-optimize="..." to --enable-optimize), you could try gcc4.4 instead, you also may try to disable official branding - I don't know why, but it also may help. This error is completely random. It can even disappear without any clear reason...

I'am pretty bored with this... It started somewhere near ff3.1b2 and gcc-4.4. Firefox devs sees no problem (pgo is not officially supported on linux and I can't compile debug build, it fails all the time)...

I've yet to see a compile error that was random. There must be a reason.

The reason can be identified with debug build. As I mentioned before - I cannot compile one successfully Problem is connected with -fprofil-use flag, as non pgo builds fine with the same config.

If someone is able to work this out - I will be more than happy. I'm fighting with it since ff3.1b2 as mentioned...

What does that mean?

blasse · 2009-06-30 18:25:42

PGO builds first build in objdir. In my build it is srcdir/ff-pgo/. In dist/bin subdir there is working copy of firefox, that script tries to run for profiling. Error 11 means it cannot be run So running it manually from console can tell us what's wrong.

Here you go...

[ jay /tmp/yaourt-tmp-jay/aur-firefox-pgo/firefox-pgo/src/mozilla-1.9.1/ff-pgo/dist/bin ] $ ./firefox

./run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 24381 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

But I get a different error with ./firefox-bin

$ ./firefox-bin
./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And this clearly show, that you are affected by the same bug, as many here btw. Strange, that this happens only on x86-64...

executables are there when first pass build is compiled successfully. Your problem should be resolved easily - uncomment ldflags2.patch in pkgbuild
