101410 - makeinstall does not copy oji.lib

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Jon Smirl]

oji.lib is not getting copied to the dist/lib directory like it should as part 
of the build process. The dll is getting copied. This makes building in the 
mozilla\java directory fail.

Reassign to Joe as I'm leaving the role of OJI module owner.

Comment 2

[edburns]

Ressign to Joe Chou, as I am no longer working officially on OJI.

Comment 3

[Joe Chou]

Reporter, what mozilla you used (trunk, some branch)? Would you provide
something to reproduce the problem? Thanks.

Comment 4

[Jon Smirl]

Trunk of Mozilla as day bug was filed.  This is just a simple problem in the 
makefile file, work around was to manually copy oji.lib.

Re-assign to nidheesh.

nidheesh, do you think that you can fix this before 0.9.9??

Chris, do you think that you can help us here?

I think the key to this is in line 441 of config/rules.mak :

# Build the component as a standalone DLL. Do _not_ install the import
# library, because it's a component; nobody should be linking against
# it!

So why is the mozilla/java (blackwood?) makefiles trying to link against a
component?  Also, according to the rules.mak, you can't build both java & oji
into the same app.

These makefiles reference oji.lib:

java\dom\src\makefile.win
java\pluggable-jvm\wf_moz6\public\makefile.win
java\pluggable-jvm\wf_moz6\src\makefile.win
java\plugins\src\makefile.win

I don't know why they need oji.lib, I just tried to build the java directory 
and got a bunch of errors and then proceeded to fix them.

The nmake build system has been removed.  Marking this wontfix. (We need a
NO_LONGER_RELEVANT bug state.)
