1001 - Build bombs because detect_motif.sh returns "/usr/include"

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P4)

Description

[jhartzog]

Since my Xm.h is /usr/include/Xm/Xm.h, mozilla/config/mkdetect/detect_motif.sh
returns /usr/include, which is then put before the build specific includes which
ends up including /usr/include/ndbm.h rather than mozilla/dbm/include/ndbm.h.

I'm just getting started with Mozilla so I don't know The Right Way to fix this
yet but I would suggest either making detect_motif.sh return anything but
/usr/include or reordering the includes so this comes after the build specific
includes.

My kludge was just to make detect set MOTIF_INCLUDE_DIR="", which works for me.

My last CVS update was 2 Oct 1998.

I don't know what to suggest, except maybe adding a symlink under
/usr/X11R6/include pointing to Xm.  Ramiro, what do you think?
What about adding more possible locations (/usr/include/X11 seems
like a reasonable place for Xm, to me anyway)?  Anyway, reassigning
to Ramiro.

Thats what MOZILLA_MOTIF_INCLUDE_SEARCH_PATH is for:

export MOZILLA_MOTIF_INCLUDE_SEARCH_PATH=""

should solve your problem without having to hack detect_motif.sh.

The real fix is to rename the dbm files so as not to conflict with the "native"
ones.

Marking fixed.
