107304 - reqincs.inc hack in config.mak is failing

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 103460

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Daniel (Leaf) Nunes]

i'm not sure why, but the hack alecf put in for win98 systems isn't quite
creating the right reqincs.inc file:

D:\mozilla\string\obsolete>cat reqincs.inc
REQINCS=-I....distinclude\1 -I....distinclude\1

i'm working on a fix (unless, of course, the right fix is just to fix the
makefiles to use the right include macros in the first place, instead of running
perl for every makefile.win file to fix the incorrect includes; i'll take advice
for which is the right fix :)

cc'ing jon and chris, who have both taken a swing at this.

Try this in the Win95 section:

REQINCS1=REQINCS=-I $(XPDIST)/include/$(REQUIRES: = -I$(XPDIST^)/include/)

!if [echo.dummy $(REQINCS1) > reqincs.inc]
!endif

Make it say echo.dummy

It was working ok for me but I got tired of Win9X hanging if I tried to use IE 
and compile at the same time so I switched to 2K.

FrodoB tried the echo.dummy thing but it only expanded the first set of headers
or something like that.  I don't have a win98 with a build system so I'm kinda
shooting in the dark here.
