934290 - |make bootstrap| doesn't install libpulse on Ubuntu 13.10

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Mach Core, enhancement)

Description

[Nicholas Nethercote [inactive]]

I'm on 64-bit Ubuntu 13.10.  I just updated mozilla-inbound and got this during the configure step of a clobber build:

 0:04.83 No package 'libpulse' found
 0:04.83 configure: error: pulseaudio audio backend requires libpulse development package

I ran |mach bootstrap| but it didn't install anything extra.

I think libpulse-dev might be the required package, but I can't verify as I'm having trouble installing it due to some kind of connection troubles with the Ubuntu servers.

Observed same problem on 64-bit Ubuntu 12:04 after pulling today.  My previous pull was October 31 and it built without any trouble.

Until this is backed out or fixed, I have worked around the problem
by disabling MOZ_PULSEAUDIO.  I simply changed MOZ_PULSEAUDIO=1
to MOZ_PULSEAUDIO=
in configure.in around line 5609. (probably could have used
--disable-pulseaudio instead).

Probably caused by checkin of bug #837563

The connection troubles resolved themselves and I can confirm that libpulse-dev is the required package -- I've installed it and can now build again.

Applying the v0 patch, then ./mach bootstrap and ./mach build seems to work for me.  Thanks.
