doas zramctl --size 1024M /dev/zram0
doas mkswap /dev/zram0
doas swapon /dev/zram0This wil add a compressed GB of RAM with ZRAM, my 1GB netbook works like a 2GB one.
Also, you could always compile a 32 bit build
under a 64 bit machine with either a chroot or a VM.
Finally, clang uses far less RAM than GCC on compiling.
]]>The patches now I'm working on are for the versions in our repositories running and include most better searchplugins and certificate-issues being fixed.
]]>You can create a chroot-environment also fitting on 64bit with libretools.
Before you do that you should create a copy of your pacman.conf under /etc/pacman.conf, named like /etc/pacman.conf.i686. It should look like this:
#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives
#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir = /
#DBPath = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile = /var/log/pacman.log
#GPGDir = /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
#HookDir = /etc/pacman.d/hooks/
HoldPkg = pacman glibc
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -C - -f %u > %o
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
#UseDelta = 0.7
Architecture = i686
# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
IgnorePkg =
#IgnoreGroup =
#NoUpgrade =
#NoExtract =
# Misc options
#UseSyslog
#Color
#TotalDownload
CheckSpace
#VerbosePkgLists
# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
#SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptional
SigLevel = Never
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required
# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all Arch/Hyperbola packagers
# with `pacman-key --populate arch` and `pacman-key --populate hyperbola`.
#
# REPOSITORIES
# - can be defined here or included from another file
# - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
# - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
# - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
# have identical names, regardless of version number
# - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
# - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
# [repo-name]
# Server = ServerName
# Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#
[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
# An example of a custom package repository. See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgsThe relevant information here is the line:
Architecture = i686After that you can create your chroot-environment like this:
doas librechroot -C /etc/pacman.conf.i686 -M /usr/share/pacman/defaults/makepkg.conf.i686 -n i686 makeAnd from this point on you are able to create a plain package within chroot-enviroment like on our build-server.
Hope this helps a bit!
are interested to bring the UXP-applications further in development? You can for sure then support within the development of Iceweasel-UXP, Iceape-UXP and Icedove-UXP: Help debug for building and compiling, packaging and testing.
Please report back within this thread or also via the different communication-channels if you are interested.
