Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 196004

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Sylvain Arnaud]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020920 Netscape/7.0

It seems my "ld" doesn't want nsprmap.sun...


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Under Sun Solaris 8, with gnu-gcc-3.0.4 and binutils-2.11.2
2. setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH
<path to libIDL-0.6.8>:<path to gtk+-1.2.10>:<path to glib-1.2.10>:<path to
freetype-2.1.0>:<path to
gcc-3.0.4-binutils-2.11.2>:/usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib
3. ./configure --prefix=/local/Softs/mozilla-1.3
4. make

Actual Results:  
The "make" fails at this step:

gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/ -shared -Wl,-h,libnspr4.so,-z,combreloc,-z,defs

Expected Results:  
A good compilation

I have found a similar problem while compiling Mozilla 1.3 on Solaris 2.6 using
Forte 6 Update 2. I think it's related to the 'ld' in /usr/ccs/bin on Solaris 2.6

I dont get this problem when i try to compile Mozilla 1.3 on Solaris 9 using
Forte 7.
I'd also be interested in seing if people have any idea's as i need to get a
version of Mozilla which will work on Solaris 2.5.1 and Solaris 2.6

Reporter:
Did you apply the latest version of the linker patch for your OS version (which
are part of Sun's public "Recommended&Security" patch cluster) ?

Comment 3

[Sylvain Arnaud]

Nothing new after installing the last recommended patch cluster for Solaris 8.
But it is not a surprise, as I am compiling with GNU gcc and not SUN cc, so the
linker used is the GNU one...

If I do a truss command, it shows:

access("/_TOOLS_/dist/gnu-gcc-3.0.4-binutils-2.11.2/sparc64-sun-solaris2.8/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.0.4/collect2",
1) = 0
fork()                                          = 7667
./nsprmap.sun: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

So it seems the problem come after the fork() command...

[Wan-Teh Chang]

Our fixes for this problem are in the Mozilla 1.4 Alpha release.
I'd appreciate it if you could download and build Mozilla 1.4
Alpha and see if any build problem still remains.  Thanks.

I cannot find the source file; the links are broken under the site download page...
No src directory under http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.4a/
