12275 - Seamonkey_M9_BRANCH build broken on FreeBSD (and other Unix?)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Jonathan Lennox]

Building the M9 Branch fails on FreeBSD 3.2, compiling with egcs-1.1.2, as
follows:

cd test; gmake install
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/llennox/Mozilla/mozilla/netwerk/test'

The problem seems to be that libjsurl.a/.so are being installed as components,
but TestSocketIO wants to link to them as ordinary libraries.

Does this really work on Linux?  I'm astonished.

[Jonathan Lennox]

After some more experimentation, it seems that blaming this on necko is

incorrect; a number of other tests, *and* viewer and apprunner, try to link in

-ljsurl.  Configuring with --disable-tests, and removing -ljsurl from the viewer

and apprunner Makefiles, means I can build succesfully.

Added brendan and ramiro as Cc: contacts.  It looks like Brendan's change to
split out jsurl caused this to break, whereas Ramiro's fix on the mainline to
pull out -ljsurl from a whole bunch of Makefile.in's is what needs to be rolled
into the M9 branch.

[ramiro]

brendan, what a very bad thing to do...

Comment 4

[Jonathan Lennox]

Leaf's changes of today on the M9 branch fixed this.  The M9 branch now builds
sucessfully on FreeBSD.  (It segfaults when running, but that'll be a separate
bug report.)

marking verified per reporters comments

Bulk move of all Necko (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking

component.
