The build is dying when processing xpcom/base/jar.mn.  Can you verify that
xpcom/base/xpcom.properties exists and isn't corrupted?  What source tree are
you building from?

Comment 3

[Hanno Boeck]

I have the original MOzilla 0.9.7-source.There was exactly the same problem with 0.9.6.The file xpcom.properties exists and is not corrupted.

The line that make-jars.pl is dying on is:
        my $atime = stat($file)->atime || die $!;

What version of perl are you using? And what filesystem?  I'm wondering if atime
isn't a member of struct stat on Mandrake 8.1 (which would be weird, I think).

Does this simple script work?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use File::stat;
$file = "/etc/passwd";
$atime = stat($file)->atime || die "stat($file): $!\n";
print "atime = $atime\n";
exit(0);

On my system is perl 5.6.1Your little script seems to work fine. so that is not the problem.anything else I could do to help solving the problem?

In config/make-jars.pl, can you add:
    print "EnsureInDir: $file\n";
right before the stat call on line 216?

Comment 7

[Hanno Boeck]

To Christopher Seawood:If I add your command. it says:EnsurelnDir: ./charsetTitles.propertiesDiet at ../../../config/make-jars.pl line 217, <STDIN> line 2.

Hrm.  The location of the error has changed.  charset.properties is in
intl/uconv/src and the previous error was in xpcom/base .   Are you still seeing
the same exact error?

Comment 9

Attachment: Error log with and without your line added

make1.txt is the original error-output.
make2.txt is the output with your line added to the script.

In the logs that you're showing, the error is not occuring at the same location
in both logs.  Somehow the build appears to have gotten past the first error (in
xpcom/base) when it hits the second one (in intl/uconv/src).  Can you attach a
log from a clean build?

Comment 11

[Hanno Boeck]

With Mozilla 0.98, I no longer have this problem. So it seems that this bug is fixed.Can anyone mark this bug as fixed?

Comment 12

[hacker formerly known as [e-mail]]

Marking invalid as I was never able to determine what the problem was much less
to have fixed it.
