 Posted: Sun Nov 25, 2012 9:18 pm Post subject: What's going on with Firefox? |
 |
|
Firefox - www-client/firefox-17.0-r1 - failed to install because I ran out of space in /var/tmp/portage - only had 5000MB (4.9GB). What kind of monster did this program become? LibreOffice doesn't even need that much space.
Also the ebuild must have a lot of cruft in it as this gets reported: | Code: | | * configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-application, --enable-optimize, --with-system-jpeg, --with-system-zlib, --enable-pango, --enable-svg, --enable-system-cairo, --disable-installer, --disable-pedantic, --disable-updater, --disable-strip, --disable-strip-libs, --disable-install-strip, --enable-single-profile, --disable-profilesharing, --disable-profilelocking, --enable-default-toolkit, --enable-official-branding, --enable-ogg, --enable-wave, --enable-dbus, --disable-tests, --disable-debugger-info-modules, --enable-ipc, --enable-libnotify, --enable-startup-notification, --disable-system-sqlite, --disable-necko-wifi, --enable-webm, --with-system-libvpx, --enable-tracejit, --with-system-nspr, --with-nspr-prefix, --with-system-nss, --with-nss-prefix, --with-system-libevent, --enable-system-hunspell, --disable-gnomevfs, --disable-gnomeui, --enable-gio, --disable-crashreporter, --enable-storage, --enable-places, --enable-places_bookmarks, --enable-oji, --enable-mathml, --disable-mochitest, --disable-gconf, --disable-mailnews, --enable-canvas, --enable-safe-browsing, --with-system-png, --enable-system-ffi, --with-default-mozilla-five-home, --enable-gstreamer, --disable-system-sqlite, --enable-methodjit, --enable-tracejit, --enable-extensions |
Looks like some major cleanup is in order.

| Firefox now compiles in a way that creates multiple gigabytes of temp files at the end. You'll need at least 6GB disk space to build (to say nothing of RAM usage...) |

And that's exactly justifies the original question

The cause is something to do with it forcing a LTO build, because they bought into the microbenchmark fad wholesale.
If it's any consolation we're not alone; they had to cut out features because it was failing to build on their windows build servers too... |
