295294 - XULRunner build (--enable-libxul actually) does not play well with other --enable flags

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Toolkit Graveyard :: XULRunner, defect)

Description

[Darin Fisher]

XULRunner build (--enable-libxul actually) does not play well with other
--enable flags.

For example, it's not possible to build libxul without necko2, which can be
disabled using --enable-necko-protocols (or something like that).

Such incompatibilities should be detected at configure time; the same applies to --enable-optimize vs. --enable-debug, or (on some non-Mozilla software which I download in source form) --without-x vs. --enable-gui=gtk2.

Or do you mean that the incompatibility is bogus, and that it should be removed (possibly by moving about the functions or modules which create the incompatibility)?

XULRunner has been removed from the Mozilla tree: see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.platform/_rFMunG2Bgw for context.

I am closing all the bugs currently in the XULRunner bugzilla component, in preparation for moving this component to the graveyard. If this bug is still valid in a XULRunner-less world, it will need to be moved to a different bugzilla component to be reopened.
