106771 - Need to support building on hpux 11.11

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Jim Dunn]

Currently the build system is setup for building
on 11.00 hpux, however we want to add 11.11.
There are several files that hardcode B.11.00
as the OS_RELEASE and we need to expand to
include B.11.11

wtc if you can review these that would be great.
We don't expect you to pick up support but we
would like to be able to build on 11.11 platform.

nspr changes

The NSPR changes are fine.
HP-UX.mk is now a historical
file so it doesn't need to
be modified.

cls, is there a way to test
for B.11.* in the configure
script?

There are references to 11.00 in this file
that should be changed to
11.11.

The copyright year probably should say 2001.

wtc, yes, we can.  We would need to remove the hardcoded OS_RELEASE tests and
convert them to using a case switch with ${target_os} which doesn't have the
A.,B. prefixes.

Actually, you may be able to just replace the
 egrep '^(B.11.00|B.11.11)'
with
 egrep '^B.11'
to simulate the B.11.* .  Using B.11 should work for the $(filter) rules as well.

Comment 9

[Jim Dunn]

Using B.11 is probably NOT a good idea.
Without going into TOO much detail... if a 11.70 came
along that was radically different we would have to re-write.
Right now 11.11 & 11.00 are basically the same (I still 
can't figure out the differences)

Comment 10

[hacker formerly known as [e-mail]]

Well, if it was that different, we'd have to update the config anyway, right? 
If we used B.11, then we wouldn't have to update anything for future releases
that weren't radically different.

11.11.mk file for security coreconf (updated)

I will change the copyright notice to say just
2001.  Other than that, this is fine.  r=wtc.

I checked in the NSPR changes on both the
NSPRPUB_PRE_4_2_CLIENT_BRANCH and the tip.

I added security/coreconf/HP-UXB.11.11.mk
to both the tip and NSS_3_3_BRANCH and
tag the revision on NSS_3_3_BRANCH as
NSS_CLIENT_TAG.

Marked the bug fixed.
