1260099 - SeaMonkey trunk not building due to outdated gcc (need 4.8.x)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1190773

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Edmund Wong (:ewong)]

We still use 4.7.x and post-bug-1175546 tree, we need to use
4.8.x

What needs to be done are the following:

1) Update our linux32/64 tooltool to use the right gcc version.
2) Add the tooltool package of that gcc version to our tooltool repo.

With the chance that our tooltool repo could get decommissioned soon,
there's little point in doing #2.  I think bug 1190773 will need to be
fixed before this bug can be fixed.

[tooltool] change to use gcc 4.8.5 package.

r=me if you add
"version": "gcc 4.8.5"
and
"unpack": true
to the manifests. (assuming unpack true is needed)

Unpack is needed.  btw, could you also review the tooltool
patches on bug 1190773?

Having given some thought, I think this bug is silly.  Might as well put all
those changes in bug 1190773. 

So this problem will be fixed in bug 1190773.
