150219 - wrapper shell script fails to resolve symbolic link in its name

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 57866

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Marco Franzen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
BuildID:    2002052918

The wrapper shell script mozilla contains two bugs, each of which alone prevents
it work out how to set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME.
Firstly, it gives up without setting "found" flag on it last loop round just
when it is done.
Secondly, relative link targets need to be interpreted from the directory where
the link is.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install moz 1.0 release in (say) /usr/local/mozilla/1.0
2. ln -s ../mozilla/1.0/mozilla /usr/local/bin
3. unset MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
4. /usr/local/bin/mozilla   


Actual Results:  Cannot find mozilla runtime directory. Exiting.

Expected Results:  Successfully launch the browwer with MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME set to
the directory where the script physically lives. That is the link target if the
path name under which it was invoked is a symbolic link (etc if that target is a
symlink again etc).

Attachment: Move loop exit, interpret relative link target directory

This fixes it for me.
