62634 - XPCOM Standalone build failure

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 62415

(Core :: XPCOM, defect, P3)

Description

[Marcus Webster]

From v1.17 (and onwards) of nsLocalFileCommon.cpp attempts to build with
XPCOM_STANDALONE set fail. This is because the mEncoder and mDecoder members of
the nsFSStringConversion class have been #ifdef'd out for XPCOM standalone
builds, but code that accesses those members isn't.

Steps to reproduce
-------------------
Build from clean (on Windows) using:
nmake -f client.mak build_xpconnect

Actual Results
-------------------
Build progresses to the mozilla\xpcom\io directory, then the build stops with
the following results:

nsDirectoryService.cpp
nsLocalFileWin.cpp
nsLocalFileCommon.cpp
M:\Private\mozilla\xpcom\io\nsLocalFileCommon.cpp(57) : error C2039: 'mEncoder'
: is not a member of 'nsFSStringConversion'

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\N
MAKE.EXE"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

Expected results
--------------------
The build process to complete successfully

Duplicate of bug 62415, which is still unconfirmed, and is probably itself a
duplicate of bug 24515, although the compile errors are not the same, and that
is the only reason bug 62415 has not been duplicated to bug 24515 yet.
Thank you,
Fabian.

This bug is indeed a duplicate of bug 62415 - XPCOM standalone build is broken due
to compile errors in mozilla/xpcom/io/nsLocalFileCommon.cpp.  They both deal
with mEncoder and mDecoder problems.
