1266252 - install_target of binaries belonging to the build application are prefixed with application directory

Status: NEW

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Gregory Szorc [:gps]]

In bug 1253110, I discovered that the "install_target" attribute of various binary related classes from mozbuild.frontend.data aren't correct for binaries defined by the active application (e.g. "browser"). The install_target will be something like dist/bin/browser/firefox instead of dist/bin/firefox.

Note, that's because we don't currently support multiple FINAL_TARGETs (and related things, like DIST_SUBDIR) in the same directory. The easy way out would be to move building firefox.exe to a subdirectory where there's nothing else built.
