[SOLVED] Error building firefox-aurora from heftig's repository

ethail · 2011-06-22 16:16:13

I'm currently using the aurora package from heftig's repository at : http://pkgbuild.com/~heftig/aurora/ . No troubles with that so far in the time I've been using it (1-2 days).

Sometimes I like to rebuild certain packages to get a bit more of performance (don't expecting a huge increase) but this time I can't manage to build this one.

At some point after spending an hour or so building I get this error and makepkg finishes without building it:

http://www.pastie.org/2106870

I have no clue on what does trigger that error and the only thing I can think so far is if there is some kind of script that is somehow tailored to the server where usually the aurora package is build and that is making it fail on my laptop.

Does anyone experience this or have any clue on what could be causing this error?

Thank you in advance for your help

EDIT:

Building the package in a clean chroot worked. Makes me think about the hosts config file on my system may have some problem. Anyway, solved.

can you, please, provide more information how exactly you've done it?

Read after the EDIT on my post. For more info about building on a clean chroot:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … ean_Chroot

However, I must warn you: consider if your computer is powerful enough to don't make you waste 2 hours or so building the PGO package every time it gets updatet (nearly every day?)

Ok, i tried to use wiki and build firefox with kde patches and pgo from AUR repository.

I followed the instructions form wiki page you kindly provided, but every time i get:

==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

i think it's complaining about missing kmozillahelper which is available only in AUR. However i found another repository that includes kmozillahelper package -> no result. Can you give me an advise please?

You should ask in another thread. This topic was about the Aurora package from Heftig's repository, which is not build with any dependency from the AUR.

In addition, you could use an AUR helper like cower in order to get your dependencies satisfied before building.

Also, seems that you're trying to build firefox as you said (¿stable channel?) with some patches while this was about building Aurora as it comes. Heftig's Aurora needs to be built in a clean chroot. AUR packages, as far as I know, usually don't need to.
