For reference, these patches should help to produce running build with clang/llvm v22 toolchain:
Tested for konform-browser which is based on the same firefox-esr version as icecat.
I think these should apply cleanly for icecat too but that has not been tested AFAIK. It is likely that significantly smaller resolving patch is viable but went for minimizing conflicts and retaining consistency with upstream changes.
@konvix - I went and deleted my ~/.cargo/bin/which and a cached version, but now I'm back to not being able to install which at all. I can't even get back the one I had. I feel like it's more messed up now than before. What changed? I've been building this software for years and suddenly I can;t...?
Edit: got the which back that I had from which_cli, but nothing I do is allowing me to install which. These are my choices:
$ cargo search --limit 50 which
which = "8.0.2" # A Rust equivalent of Unix command "which". Locate installed executable in cross…
bandwhich = "0.23.1" # Display current network utilization by process, connection and remote IP/hostna…

and cargo install which still returns an installation error:
$ cargo install which
Updating crates.io index
error: there is nothing to install in `which v8.0.2`, because it has no binaries
`cargo install` is only for installing programs, and can't be used with libraries.
To use a library crate, add it as a dependency to a Cargo project with `cargo add`.
Again... what changed?
@jghodd
error: no such command:
whichAny suggestions?
Could it be that you have a user-local rust setup interfering? Try building in clean chroot or with a separate user. Or see if you have anything in ~/.local/share/rustup, ~/.local/share/cargo, and remove source "${HOME}/.local/share/cargo/env" and similar from your bashrc/profile.
Please report back if you actually get this building on current system (as reported below a compilation error is currently expected after llvm-libs/clang v22 upgrade).
My libvpx is fine, but am getting the following build error:
0:16.62 DEBUG: Executing: `rustup which cargo`
0:16.62 DEBUG: The command returned non-zero exit status 101.
0:16.62 DEBUG: Its error output was:

0:16.63 ERROR: Command `rustup which cargo` failed with exit status 101.
I have run cargo install cargo-which-nightly, cargo install cargo-whichp and cargo install which. None of these work, and in fact I get an error trying to install which:
error: there is nothing to install in `which v8.0.2`, because it has no binaries
`cargo install` is only for installing programs, and can't be used with libraries.
To use a library crate, add it as a dependency to a Cargo project with `cargo add`.
Any suggestions?
require libvpx.so=11-64
Currently unable to build this after updating system or in (I believe) clean chroot.
Tried with both rustup and rust installed for the cargo makedepend.
Also tried removing the # workaround for cargo lock from PKGBUILD.
In any case, getting the same errors about missing nss_prelude::SECItemType as for https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-esr package on compiling glslopt.
Anyone able to build icecat AUR on up-to-date Arch Linux system so far?
