551905 - mozilla-runtime expected at wrong location

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 542053

(Core :: IPC, defect)

Description

[Wolfgang Rosenauer [:wolfiR]]

mozilla-runtime is expected just besides the main process executable apparently:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/ipc/glue/GeckoChildProcessHost.cpp#182

This is at least not true for xulrunner environments (e.g. with Fennec and for Linux distributions shipping Firefox as split package XR+Firefox).

Indeed, although for some reason I thought cjones had fixed this along the way. We should be using a path relative to NS_GRE_DIR.

I thought dougt was going to patch this, since it broke in Fennec when it was using xulrunner, but maybe he never got around to it.

Comment 3

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

I moved over to not using XR.  Prior to that move, i was doing something like:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:./xulrunner
xulrunner/xulrunner application.ini

Comment 4

[Benjamin Smedberg]

So we have two problems: 1) can't find mozilla-runtime 2) have to set up LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order to launch it. I think we can solve both of these problems in the code.

Anything here not covered by bug 542053?  It has a WIP patch and everything.

I knew dougt had looked at this!
