_ How to build firefox-25.0 with poor memory environment :P
I could build firefox-24.0 with 2GB memory and 2GB swap partition, but I couldn't build firefox-25.0 with same environment because of memory exhaust during linking phase.
Slackware-14.0 has 2 kinds of ld command, they are ld.bfd and ld.gold. Default ld is ld.bfd, but I have to use ld.gold instead of ld.bfd to get success to build.
ld.gold is light weight and faster (about x5) than ld.bfd, but it may be a little bit unstable(?)
Next steps are summary to get success to build
I made /usr/bin/ld ld.gold.
# cd /usr/bin # mv ld ld.ORG # ln -s ld.gold ld
I made locale UTF-8 and extracted source.
$ export LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 $ export LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 $ tar xvvf firefox-25.0.source.tar.bz2 $ cd mozilla-release
I created .mozconfig like following.
$ cat .mozconfig . $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig ac_add_options --enable-optimize ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2 ac_add_options --disable-debug ac_add_options --disable-tests ac_add_options --disable-mochitest
Build!
$ nice make -f client.mk build && cd obj-i686-pc-linux-gnu/ && nice make package
I re-made /usr/bin/ld original ld(ld.bfd).
# cd /usr/bin # rm ld # mv ld.ORG ld
