129412 - Mach-o (FizzillaMach) build fails due to dlfcn.h from fink (/sw/include/dlfcn.h) not in include search path

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Alex Stewart]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020304
BuildID:    CVS pull 20:30 PST March 6

After about 10 minutes of compiling, the build fails with:

I pulled from CVS about 11:30pm EST.  This is my first attempt to build on Mac OS X.

.mozconfig:
# sh
# Build configuration script
#
# See http://www.mozilla.org/build/unix.html for build instructions.
#

# Options for client.mk.
mk_add_options MOZ_CVS_FLAGS="-q -z 9"

# Options for 'configure' (same as command-line options).
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize=-O2
ac_add_options --enable-strip

Where this file is:
$ find / -name dlfcn.h
[errors about lack of permissions]
/sw/include/dlfcn.h

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd mozilla
2. make -w -f client.mk build


Actual Results:  The build failed due to a missing include file.

Expected Results:  The build should succeed.

I'm using Dec 2001 developer tools according to Project Builder -> About.

The error looks familiar but I don't remember where and I don't see that problem
in my build.  Looking at a OSX box, /sw/include/dlfcn.h comes if you have
dlcompat installed.  What happens if you add -I/sw/include to your CFLAGS or
remove dlcompat?

Pinkerton/Dagley, any ideas?

Comment 2

[Alex Stewart]

After removing dlcompat (and a bunch of stuff that depends on it; good thing I
don't delete the .debs), touching configure and removing config.cache, I get:

Next, I re-installed everything, then added -I/sw/include to OS_CPPFLAGS in
config/autoconf.mk.  That seems to be working, as moz has compiled past where it
was last time, and still going strong, as I write this message.  I'll report
back when the build's done.

Comment 3

[Alex Stewart]

The build worked, and I'm using it to post this message.  So could you either
a) Document the workaround (add /sw/include to OS_CPPFLAGS) in
http://www.mozilla.org/ports/fizzilla/Mach.html or
b) Include /sw/include where it's needed by default on Mac OS X
?

Thanks, and confirming since it appears that modifying a Mozilla makefile will
fix this.

Comment 4

Can you provide a complete configure & build log of the original problem?  I see
that you are getting HAVE_LIBDL set.  I also have dlcompat installed but
HAVE_LIBDL isn't being set.  Is your ld searching /sw/lib by default? Or do you
have libdl installed on the system (non-fink dirs) as well?

Comment 5

[Alex Stewart]

I tracked down where ld (called from configure) was getting its libdl.dylib.  It
was /usr/local/lib/libdl.dylib, which I created by installing bash from
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_apps_utilities/\
bashthegnubourneagainshell.html.

When I removed the files from that tarball (including
/usr/local/lib/libdl.dylib) and installed bash from fink, Mozilla compiled fine
without the -I/sw/include.  

So I guess steps to reproduce are:
1) download http://www.savagetranscendental.com/data/OSX/bash-2.0.5-macosx.tgz
2) cd /
3) untar the tarball from step 1
4) rm $MOZCOMPILEDIR/config.cache
5) Compile Mozilla.

Comment 6

[hacker formerly known as [e-mail]]

Ugh.  That's a bug in apple's bash package.  If you didn't have fink's dlcompat
package installed, then you wouldn't have the headers that go with that libdl at
all.  Marking invalid.

Comment 7

[Alex Stewart]

This should be documented somewhere (such as
http://www.mozilla.org/ports/fizzilla/Mach.html), as installing the
vendor-linked-to version of a package may cause Mozilla not to build.

Are website patches accepted/desired?

Comment 8

[hacker formerly known as [e-mail]]

Sure, we'll take website patches too.

Comment 9

[Jon Granrose]

verified invalid.

Comment 10

[Alex Stewart]

Attachment: Mach-O website patch

That VERIFIED helped me to get going on the patch.  I've fixed up the HTML
enough to get it validating.  It seems to work in Mozilla, IE5.1, and NN4, but
I added a  strict DOCTYPE, so the layout (in particular the spacing) has
changed a bit.

thanks alex, i put your changes on the website (and gave you credit).
