1674843 - Thunderbird on Linux Arm builds (linux64-aarch64)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Build Config, task, P5)

Description

[Rob Lemley [:rjl]]

Exploratory bug to see what it would take to get Thunderbird to build win64-arm and linux64-arm. This way the information is available when/if the platform(s) are picked up.

I'll just note that with the increased proliferation of ARM based notebooks and tablets, it would be nice for Thunderbird to be available for those platforms.

This same information is likely to be valuable with macOS also moving to Arm.

Initial notes:

• clang_rt.builtins is not available for ARM in the current toolchain. Either support will need to be added in M-C or (more likely) we will have to build it separately. This is necessary for building librnp on Windows.
• Status of a mingw (gcc) based win64-arm compiler? We use the compiler from Debian for win x86/x64 (libotr)
• Microsoft does not have MAPI support for ARM, need to build with --disable-mapi -- WHAT DOES THIS BREAK?

The only change from the Firefox one is the addition of the MAPI headers.
They are only header files, so the same copy that's used for x86/x64 is used.

Missing clang_rt.builtins dependency for AARCH64/Win.

Temporary work around as this will take some effort.

Rearranges the existing linux32 and linux64 mozconfig files a little so that
we have consistency across platforms.
