PKGBUILD builds

[frostknight]

Does anyone know how to make a PKGBUILD for palemoon? I want to use my custom .mozconfig.

Problem is, i tried modifying one on aur, but it keeps resetting itself to the old .mozconfig setup... no matter what I do. Archlinux has started to be a jerk on this problem with more and more packages lol...

I wasn't sure where I should post this, so I posted it here.

Can anyone manipulate the regular palemoon PKGBUILD to use with

This is the .mozconfig I want to use:

https://upload.disroot.org/r/amodzZMX#e ... AVhh1irwM=

I uploaded it there.

I don't need python2.7 to be changed to tauthon, I have an archlinux qcow2 I can use. Just need that other problem fixed.

Are you @Rakiri on AUR?

Yes, all you have to do is change this file then update sums https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ ... h=palemoon

This is basically what maintainer there also commented.

Then you did this incorrectly, this has nothing to do with Arch Linux. You just don't know how to modify them.

I use Gentoo linux, which has "ebuilds" that work like Arch "pkgbuild". Step 1) Try to...

grep .mozconfig <name of pkgbld file>

This will give you an idea of what it's doing to .mozconfig so you can look at changing it. Warning: Gentoo has a checksum feature that blocks modified ebuilds unless you jump through hoops to "authorize" the modified ebuild. I wonder if Arch does the same. This is all in the name of security.

This is the .mozconfig I want to use:oROjW8AkrUeNSP4T+HAVhh1irwM=

Some comments on the .mozconfig... Get rid of

ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg
ac_add_options --with-system-zlib
ac_add_options --with-system-bz2
ac_add_options --enable-system-pixman

It is generally a BAD idea to unnecessarily use system libs. See viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23706 for a detailed explanation.

Re: enable-optimize: I only run the build on the machine it's built on, so I throw in "-march=native" to get all the cpu optimizations possible. Note: do not use "-march=native" if you want to run the build on another machine than the one it's built on.
ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2 -march=native -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -w"

mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j1"
gcc uses up to 2 gigabytes per parallel job. I generally...
* take system ram amount
* subtract 2-to-4 gigs for X, plus running apps
* divide remaining gihabytes by 2
Example: You have a desktop with 16 gigs of ram. Subtract 4 gigs for X and running apps. That leaves 12 gigs. Divide by 2, and you can run "-j6" without hitting swap. This does not affect the final product... but it does build a lot faster than "-j1"

Nitpick: I see you have two items listed twice...
ac_add_options --disable-alsa
ac_add_options --enable-sndio
It probably won't hurt, probably just cosmetic.

This config mostly has worked for me though. When I compile it outside of a PKGBUILD.

The problem is the PKGBUILD keeps resetting to its older config despite me making my .mozconfig the mozconfig.in

Well... I'll check what he wrote, but I must be missing something.

[frostknight]

Actually, I kind of changed my mind for a moment, to try this on my Hyperbola OS because it keeps failing on archlinux for some egregious unknown reason.

Only problem is, this:

git+"https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProd ... =${_commit}

Seems to keep failing

EDIT: NVM, it was the git+ part...

weird.

Can anyone modify that pkgbuild and make it actually work on Hyperbola? I am beyond stumped.

I was originally going to build it this way on archlinux so I could use it for other OS including Hyperbola.

But I run into issues no matter what it seems lol.

That PKGBUILD keeps pretending it cannot find application palemoon even though its very close by. Its weird.

I didn't try this on hyperbola, your mozconfig was missing MOZ_OBJDIR, I added this and changed back tauthon to python2. These are the only 2 changes, diff below:

Now, if you could only post some build log

This is what happens and uh I posted an upload recently... but I will do so again:

https://upload.disroot.org/r/UtpvvLS_#b ... oaFDAppUw=



Can you modify the pkgbuild and mozconfig in a way that they could work on archlinux or hyperbola? Then send back. I am a bit lost here

This is what happens when I use the pkgbuild and mozconfig.in

I already posted diff to fix your issue in my previous post. This is also first time I am seeing your broken PKGBUILD, previously you have only sent mozconfig.

It quite literally tells you what the error is, it tries to cd into somewhere that doesn't exist.
You changed things without understanding why.

From quick look:
1. You are cd'ing into wrong directory, which is not there. You modified the PKGBUILD to `cd UXP` from `cd ${_repo}` _repo variable is Pale-Moon.
2. You got rid of prepare(), this is the issue why your mozconfig doesn't work, look at the sed line there.
3. Removing prepare() also broke platform submodule, because it's being updated there, it's impossible to build that way.
4. Your PKGBUILD always gets latest sources, but you are not using pkgver().

[frostknight]

My bad, how do I make needed changes though? Do I need to use your patch?

I uploaded an older version of the mozconfig and PKGBUILD I had.

https://upload.disroot.org/r/caF6f6f_#b ... cfZs679ho=

https://upload.disroot.org/r/CdV6hV0q#o ... yIusPYxPM=

So I don't have a location you say, that is foolish I suppose.

[frostknight]

seems I screwed up, I added the wrong mozconfig.in and PKGBUILDS when I sent them to you;

https://upload.disroot.org/r/DXwPyBA7#h ... g1UPyNvug=

https://upload.disroot.org/r/_4x3Du_q#j ... PofaZnTSQ=

These have been updated with your suggestions more or less, except the python 2 one.

But it still has link making issues for some reason

[micwoj92]

Here is what you do, step by step:
1. Copy the patch from my post, save it as patch.patch as example
2. git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/palemoon.git
3. cd palemoon
4. move your patch.patch file into pwd
5. patch -i patch.patch
6. makepkg -s
7. voila, package will be ready.

I must have copied it wrong or something?

[micwoj92]

You did not copy all the contents of the patch. For me this file is 127 lines long. Last of that file is `+export MOZ_PKG_SPECIAL=gtk$_GTK_VERSION`.

Please just forget about your current PKGBUILD, start with a new location, new download executing 7 steps I said. Nothing more and nothing less and then share your result.

Actually, I just did.

[micwoj92]

No, you did not, because as of now aur/palemoon is current in version 1:33.4.0-1, your build message indicated building 1:33.4.0.1-1 which means you must have changed something.

[frostknight]

I'll try doing it on archlinux again. Hyperbola didn't work maybe for the signed commit problem. It uses an older pacman.

Does it change that much?

[frostknight]

Edit: its working now, building I mean

It seems its because I was using the old pacman in hyperbola. Its before rust was added.
