Have you both tried to compile it with libjpeg6 from AUR installed? Or after changing flag in mozconfig from --with-system-jpeg to --without-system-jpeg?

Using --without-system-libjpeg seemed to fix it

I finally built it successfully ! hurray, thanks blasse.

Now if only we could get TraceMonkey on x86_64

blasse · 2009-09-07 04:58:12

--without-system-jpeg makes it build with native jpeg from mozilla code - jpeg6. It is staticly build against it, however it should not make many difference in firefox
As for TM in x86_64 - look carefully at buglist at the first post. There is blocker form TM, that should be (imho) flagged by mozilla as "blocking firefox 3.6). But for now it isn't blocking anything, so ther is looooong way to have it fixed
Only way is to vote on blocking bugs...

Evanlec · 2009-09-07 10:29:46

oh sad days indeed.

If only midori/uzbl or something would start ramping up , webkit blows the doors off of tracemonkey anyways

Try chromium. It works really nice

which package (from aur) would you recommend? im not sure which to choose

blasse · 2009-09-09 05:16:36

I'm using chromium-browser-dev - daily builds from Ubuntu.
There is also one with devel snapshots from google - nice one, but I believe in Ubuntu patching
Also there is one that builds from source, but the source is over 800mb

If someone could test if it will work: firefox-pgo 3.5.3 with oss/alsa switch
I'm trying to make oss-dependent version of firefox-pgo, for everyone that not like alsa

Gen2ly · 2009-09-12 22:09:31

Hey cool. I'll try it tomorrow as I don't have time today. Just build it and if it builds correctly will use oss?

I'm getting

PKGBUILD: line 104: syntax error: unexpected end of file

when trying to makepkg.

My fault. Corrected:

Now i'm getting:

checking whether the C compiler (gcc-4.5 -march=native -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.3 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu,--sort-common) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
*** Fix above errors and then restart with               "make -f client.mk build"

    Aborting...

I have gcc-snapshot ( 4.5.20090820-1) and gcc 4.4.1 installed, should I update snapshot? also i did not remove existing firefox install, both the regular -pgo and beta-pgo have built the last couple of weeks without needing the previous version removed. I'll try that later.

blasse · 2009-09-13 19:07:10

For ALSA systems it's just the same build as 3.5.3-1 (and the same pkgbuild as 3.5.2-1). For OSS I cannot test it myself because I'm using ALSA

As for latest gcc snapshot - Alan wrote that it is buggy, I'm still using version from July.

The error suggest something's wrong with GCC - but it may be connected with previous install or even something else
OSS part of this pkg is borrowed from xulrunner-oss pkg from AUR.

pyther · 2009-09-13 19:09:49

Do you have a website that uses the new <audio> html tag?

bobdob · 2009-09-14 20:22:34

I did a trail run today. Although it compiled fine, it still linked against asound. I do have alsa-lib install (for compatibility reasons), but I'll try it tomorrow without it. Anyone else try this yet?

@pyther: tinyvid.tv and wikipedia.org both use <audio> and <video> tags.

pyther · 2009-09-14 20:26:42

bobdob thanks for the link

I compiled with oss and as far as I can tell firefox uses oss (instead of alsa). I don't have an alsa device or emulation, and I can hear the audio.

Good to know it works. I might play around with this some more tomorrow.

blasse · 2009-09-17 05:13:52

TM on x86_64 has been enabled in HG. It's buggy, but it's working. It will be available with 3.6a2 or if I have some time to add needed patches for 3.6a1.

ugkbunb · 2009-09-19 08:08:18

Is anyone else experiencing the bug where you can't open link in new tab if the link is a picture/image?

blasse · 2009-09-19 08:15:01

Didn't notice such one... Are you using 3.5.3 or 3.6a1?

ugkbunb · 2009-09-19 08:19:50

3.6a1 ill try building 3.5.3 tommorow and post my results

Procyon · 2009-09-19 09:19:53

Does anyone else have the bug where a page isn't repainted well (only the background color) when you refresh and back/forward and same site links? It only goes away when you scroll over the blank parts.

toxygen · 2009-09-22 00:23:02

blasse i've become a bit confused about firefox-pgo-beta
version on aur - 3.6a2-1
on the aur comments you posted another one, is that for 3.7a1-hg?

does this 3.7a1 have the tracemonkey enabled? also you mentioned (here or on aur) that the "new" PKGBUILD has oss support built-in "with a switch".. is that the line on PKGBUILD:
if _soundsystem='oss'; then
and switch _soundsystem at the top of PKGBUILD right? will this work for both 3.6a2 and 3.7a1?

thanks for your continued good work on these and keeping us updated

blasse · 2009-09-22 05:08:39

Version 3.6a2 has no TM, switch will work. The only thing one should do to switch is write OSS instead of ALSA-LIB in one of top lines in pkgbuild - _soundsystem. Everything is written down in pkgbuild

Version 3.7a1 is based on hg trunk, I've not tested it. OSS should work if source code has not changed since 3.6a2
X86_64 TM should be enabled in 3.7a1 as a default.

hi blasse

the PKGBUILD for 3.7a1 fails to build on multiple fronts [this refers to the one on aur]
first, the patches, or everything under
source=

was not found. i copied them over from the 3.6a2 build and passed md5sums. for some reason it took a couple of tries to get hg revisions. then this happens:

==> Starting build()...
patching file ./extensions/spellcheck/hunspell/src/mozHunspell.cpp
patching file ./extensions/spellcheck/src/Makefile.in
Hunk #1 FAILED at 63.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 73 (offset -14 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 98 (offset -14 lines).
1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file ./extensions/spellcheck/src/Makefile.in.rej
patching file ./extensions/spellcheck/Makefile.in
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...

so i'm guessing some of the patches are no longer needed. 3.6a2 is workign nicely though, even with no TM.

forgot to ask, are you also maintaining firefox-pgo-hg? and would that be "the trunk" you are referring to?

I'm not maintainer of HG version - I don't have time for it. PKGBUILD posted here and in AUR comments is replacement for my firefox-pgo-beta pkgbuild for people who want TM on x86_64. To use it one should first download my PKG from AUR, than replace PKGBUILD with provided here. As I haven't tested them, I don't know i all patches are still needed/correct (that's one of arguments why I don't want to maintain firefox-pgo-hg - many changes in source, many work with patches).
Error you've posted is referring to 100-system-hunspell-corrections.patch - if you comment it out from source and pkgbuild it MAY (and may not) work
