1181513 - Seamonkey 2.36 mozmake installer produces incomplete package

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1176599

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Frank-Rainer Grahl (:frg)]

Attachment: .mozconfig.x86

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; WOW64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0 SeaMonkey/2.38a2
Build ID: 20150707142556

Steps to reproduce:

Just checking out and building Seamonkey.

mozmake -f client.mk checkout
mozmake -f client.mk
cd /c/seabuild/release/comm-release/obj-i686-pc-mingw32
mozmake installer



Actual results:

The build itself works fine but the installer package is missing the two DLLs IA2Marshal.dll and mozalloc.dll. Starting sSeamonkey results in a message that XPCOM can not be loaded.

As a workaround you need to copy the two missing DLLs manuall into the Seamonkey directoy.

mozalloc was removed from the installer in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1141548. 

This bug only affect 2.36. The installer build for 2.37, 2.38a2 and 2.39a1 works. There these files are not needed.

mozalloc problem is Bug 1176599 - Backout Bug 1141548 because libmozalloc.so is missing from comm-beta (39) SeaMonkey/Thunderbird builds

Now I think I remember -- we shouldn't be including it anywhere IIRC, because it's really only built for debugging purposes now. It's the assistive technology's responsibility to ship with that marshaling library, not the apps.

Pete, right?

That's correct.  The decision was that the ATs would install it in system32 and would not uninstall it.  Interestingly enough I don't have a copy on my system.  I am remembering that Rob said that JAWS runs fine without it.

The patch from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1176599 fixed the installer issue. Mozalloc.dll is now included and copied to the Seamonkey directory. IA2Marshal.dll is still not included but Seamonkey seems to run ok without it. 

Thanks
