Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Description

[Constantine A. Murenin]

I am unable to compile the latest mozilla on FreeBSD 4.8 with gcc 2.95.4. 


I used the following commands to get the source and compile: 

setenv CVSROOT :pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot
cvs login
cvs checkout mozilla/client.mk
cd mozilla
gmake -f client.mk checkout
gmake -f client.mk build


I got the following error message:

sigh.

Sticking 'virtual' in front of GetWidget in nsIView.h will make it compile, I
suppose?

Comment 2

[Constantine A. Murenin]

I am unable to reproduce this problem due to some other problems with the tree
(see below). I will try to look at this bug when the tree is going to be more
stable, i.e. during the next freeze, for 1.7b. Remind me if I do not post
anything during the freeze.

gmake: *** xprintutil: No such file or directory.  Stop.
xprintutil is still very much part of the Mozilla tree.  This has nothing to do
with any trunk "instability"

Indeed, on both mozilla-source-1.7a.tar.bz2 and on the nightly
mozilla-source.tar.bz2 (timestamp of Mar 8 18:18).

Unfortunaly, I got the following on execution (which could be totaly unrelated
the this bug since it's the first time I build mozilla) :

./mozilla-bin: relocation error:
/home/soli/mozilla/mozilla/dist/bin/components/libgfx_gtk.so: undefined symbol:
GetContent__C8nsIFrame

Continue your great work, Mozilla is fabulous!

I downloaded everything from scratch today and it all compiled and worked with
no problem and no modifications from my side. Marking WORKSFORME. Thanks for
your help! 

Comment 6

[Aleksandr Konstantinov]

I get same error "undefined reference to `nsIView::GetWidget(void) const"
on Slackware 8.0.0 with gcc 2.95.3 . Should I use newer gcc ?
Why does it happen ?

Comment 7

[Scott McPeak]

I just ran into this problem while trying to compile firefox-1.0.3 with
gcc-2.95.3.  As the problem appears to be related to handling of inline
functions, I added

  ac_add_options --enable-optimize
  ac_add_options --disable-debug

to my .mozconfig file and that solved the problem (I think only the first
was relevant, as it enables inlining).
