103976 - libjss is built with -taso flag

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(JSS Graveyard :: Library, defect)

Description

[Jamie Nicolson]

We used to build JSS with the -taso flag. Here's why:

# Unfortunately, since the DBM and SECURITY libraries were compiled with
# the "-taso" switch (in ns/coreconf/OSF1.mk), we must ALSO compile the
# JSS dynamic libraries with the "-taso" switch (unless USE_64 is specified)

But NSS is no longer built with -taso. If you try to load libjss3.so into an
executable that is not -taso (for example, the "java" runtime executable), the
dlopen() call will fail.

So we need to stop building JSS with -taso.

I conferred with Matthew, who agreed that this was now appropriate.

Fixed on JSS_3_1_BRANCH (1.3.2.2) and trunk (1.4).
