151358 - Update build instructions for static building

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Owen Anderson]

I have as yet been unable to make a static build.  I get this error:

/usr/bin/ld: ../intl/unicharutil/src/libunicharutil.dylib is input for the
dynamic link editor, is not relocatable by the static link editor again
/usr/bin/ld: warning suggest use of -bind_at_load, as lazy binding may result in
errors or different symbols being used
symbol _libVersionPoint used from dynamic library
../dist/bin/libplc4.dylib(plvrsion.o) not from earlier dynamic library
@executable_path/libplds4.dylib(plvrsion.o)

I'll try to get this added to the build instructions today... you'll want to add
the following options to your mozconfig file:

ac_add_options --enable-static
ac_add_options --disable-shared

Then when you build Chimera, make sure to build the NavigatorStatic target
instead of the Navigator target, i.e.

pbxbuild -target NavigatorStatic -buildstyle Deployment install

Note that debug static builds are untested and probably won't work.

Build instructions have been updated (should appear on www.mozilla.org in 1-2
hours).

Verified that the two ac_add_options options now appear at the URL. I don't see
the line about pbxbuild, but it looks like that stuff has been subsequently
edited further.
