36296 - mddepend.pl doesn't work under beos

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P3)

Description

[justin morey]

on the beos, unlike unix, when cpp generates .cpp/.h dependencies, a space is
placed between the object file name and the colon which separates it from the
list of files it depends on.  for example: say we have a file stuff.cpp.  when
built under the beos, its dep file (.deps/stuff.pp) will begin "stuff.o :
stuff.cpp junk.h words.h".  the same file, built under unix, will begin
"stuff.o: stuff.cpp..." (no space between .o and the colon).

this extra space breaks mddepend.pl (it thinks the trailing space is part of the
object file name), which, in turn, generally causes incremental builds to fail.
