294507 - mozilla-config and mozilla-nspr.pc is not populated correct if compile-option --with-system-nspr is used

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Wolfgang Rosenauer [:wolfiR]]

mozilla-config and mozilla-nspr.pc is not populated correct if compile-option
--with-system-nspr is used:

- mozilla-nspr.pc has almost hardcoded cflags
- %FULL_NSPR_LIBS% and %FULL_NSPR_CFLAGS% were not replaced correctly
  because Makefile.in uses undefined $(NSPR_CONFIG)

Also, please remember to ask for 1.7.9 *AND* aviary-1.0.5 approval on patches
like this.  Its in core, and we NEED to keep the branches in sync.

the patch works for me but it throws an error while configure step. I don't know
what's wrong though?

creating Makefile
creating build/Makefile
creating build/unix/Makefile
Unknown variable:build/unix/Makefile:27:NSPR_CONFIG     = @NSPR_CONFIG@
creating config/Makefile
creating config/mkdepend/Makefile
creating caps/Makefile

Wolfgang, isn't this your own patch? :-)

I don't know what's wrong.  In mozilla/configure, I
see a sed script that substitutes @NSPR_CONFIG@:

18586 s%@NSPR_CONFIG@%$NSPR_CONFIG%g

(see http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/configure#18586)

So I don't know why that substitution was not made.

What is that "NSPR_CONFIG = ..." line in the generated
build/unix/Makefile file?

The substitution works fine. Because all worked I found this error message that
late. For me it's just a cosmetical problem right now but I would be interested
in the reason for that.

moving request out to b3. We're very nearly wrapped up on 1.8b2.

do we need 
 AC_SUBST(NSPR_CONFIG)
in configure.in to avoid this warning?

Comment 13

[cls]

That @NSPR_CONFIG@ substitution should have gone into autoconf.mk instead of
that specific Makefile.  acoutput-fast.pl, which speeds up the Makefile
generation by only substituting @srcdir@ & @topsrcdir@ instead of all 400+
variables, is complaining about that unknown variable.
