1615657 - Build failure enabling DMD on android

Status: NEW

(Core :: DMD, defect, P3)

Description

[Kris Taeleman (:ktaeleman)]

When adding
ac_add_options --enable-dmd
on android, the following build error occurs:

 0:03.26 memory/replace/logalloc/replay
 0:03.29 mozglue/misc
 0:03.83 In file included from Unified_cpp_logalloc_replay0.cpp:20:
 0:03.83 /home/ktaeleman/code/work1/mozglue/misc/StackWalk.cpp:18:12: fatal error: 'Linker.h' file not found
 0:03.83 #  include "Linker.h"

Fixing the include error by using .../linker/Linker.h causes missing symbol from Elfloader.cpp, indicating that it is not being linked in as well.

Followed these instructions: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Performance/DMD

After working around it by forcing memory/replace/logalloc/replay to link mozglue, instructions also mention copying libdmd.so to device which can't be found in object folders.

Glandium's probably your best bet for understanding what is going wrong here.

Attachment: Hacky patch to get DMD working on android.

Added a quick hacky patch for reference that got me around build and runtime issues with DMD.
