So I recent got gentoo to run stable on my Asus c201, even got a decent kernel script setup to patch and do the needed signing to make it bootable for depthcharge/libre boot

shoutout to steevdave for all his help.

For the past week since I have been fighting to get any browser above midori to compile successfully.

Firefox fails with:

Code:

* ERROR: www-client/firefox-67.0::gentoo failed (compile phase):
 *   (no error message)
 *
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line 124:  Called src_compile
 *   environment, line 5227:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="${MAKEOPTS} -O" SHELL="${SHELL:-${EPREFIX}/bin/bash}" MOZ_NOSPAM=1 ${_virtx} ./mach build --verbose || die


Firefox-bin says there nothing to unpack, should be expected as its not supported on arm,

Chromium has another error but I didn't capture it.

Code:

genbook ~/firefox-info # emerge --info '=www-client/firefox-67.0::gentoo'

I am at a loss, any help would be appreciated, just know I am doing the compiling on the device, so each try takes a few hours.

You are looking at post-error message. For clues you should look at the log, the error is there. Anyhow, MAKEOPTS=-j5 is too much for 4 GB of RAM.

Wish I could post the build.log tried pastbin, to long, not knowing what I'm looking for, I grepped for "Error 2" not anything to see.

I compiled the entire system on -j5, though I will start a compile on lower (-j2?, -j3?, never saw ram as the issue, going on the old n+1) and see if it helps anything.

In the mean time something I forgot to mention in my last post, I have tried compiling with and without all the 'system-' flags, for firefox atleast.

Firing the compile, -j2 "-system-" flags.

-j based on CPUs+1 is a common choice if your concern is keeping the CPUs busy, which would apply for small packages or systems where you have much more RAM per CPU core than is the case here. In your case, your primary concern needs to be keeping total size within available RAM, so you may need to choose a value that leaves some CPU power unused.

Just the -j2 did nothing to help the issue, but its to be expected, I did find a bug report https://bugs.gentoo.org/681036 that said recent firefox build may have an issue with arm and some android code they implemented, pointed to a patch from arch: https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/armv7h/firefox/files/arm.patch

Trying https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/patches didnt seem to work as it didnt seem to pull from the patch directory, I decided to step back a few version to test and its currently attempting 60.x

FYI, even -j2 may be too much for 4 GB. Are you getting a different error now?

jacealvejetti,

Code:
* ERROR: www-client/firefox-67.0::gentoo failed (compile phase):
*   (no error message)
That happens when the Out of Memory Manager kicks in.
The log will show it and there will be a lot of lines in dmesg too.

Your armv7a can address at most, 4G of virtual memory as its a 32 bit CPU.

Code:
MAKEOPTS="-j5"
it certain to run you out of RAM. Some of firefox is in C++, which can take 2G RAM pert thread.
You will need to set MAKEOPTS="-j1" for firefox. Portage has a per package way to do that.

Lots of swap won't always help. Swap can't be used for everything.

You may need to resort to a QEMU arm7a chroot on a amd64 system to build firefox for arm.
Once its built, the binary should install and run.

I am not going to even try to seem like i know what it worked.

Firefox 60.7.0 compiled without a hitch the first time, -j5 and all, I watched the ram most of the way though, the highest I saw it get was around 3.2GB.

While not solved this does give me atleast what I needed to call this working, and I can continue to move forward.

Next up latest with -j1 to see if it compiles.

More just because its what I wanted, I was able to login to my esxi box and launch remote, WOOT!

LTO is demanding, you have it enabled?

Not to my knowledge, after looking up what it is and where its set, no.

running a normal emerge update and firefox shows:
Code:

[ebuild     U *] www-client/firefox-67.0 [60.7.0] USE="-lto% (-pgo) -system-av1% -system-webp% -wayland%"

guessing the -lto% would assume its not enabled as well.

(first post from the system its self.)

I do see after all my fiddling with firefox I have run into a dependcie issue though, think it may be a cause?
Code:

sys-devel/llvm:8

  (sys-devel/llvm-8.0.9999:8/8::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) conflicts with
    ~sys-devel/llvm-8.0.0:8=[-debug,llvm_targets_ARM,llvm_targets_BPF] required by (sys-devel/clang-8.0.0:8/8::gentoo, installed)
    ^               ^^^^^                                             
    ~sys-devel/llvm-8.0.0:8/8=[-debug,llvm_targets_ARM,llvm_targets_BPF] required by (sys-devel/clang-8.0.0:8/8::gentoo, installed)
    ^

jacealvejetti,

That's a bug
Code:
sys-devel/llvm-8.0.9999
is a live version and should be masked.
Live versions of packages are not tested at all. Its commit by commit to the upstream repository, as it happens.

Careless use of
Code:
--autounmask=y
then accepting whatever portage suggests can get you into this state.
Then its a feature, not a bug.

Code:
--autounmask=y
is a very bad thing and should not be used. Its useful for suggestions to point you in the right direction but the reconsiderations should not be used verbatim.

NeddySeagoon,

Appreciate the input,

to my memory,I havent used the autounmask, I wont say never as I did alot of crazyness trying to get firefox working.

I will mask the 9999, not the first thing I have had to mask, currently I have anything newer than 60.7 firefox masked till I can get a stable crossdev setup, and the new vboot-utils as its giving me ssl issues on compile.

Thanks!
