173770 - xpinstall/packager cannot package Mozilla Firebird

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 216137

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[lidl]

I finally got a tip-of-the-cvs tree from last night to build into a
phoenix binary.  It runs OK from my build tree, but I'd like to be
able to package up a phoenix distribution for myself to use on my
primary desktop machine, as well as give away copies to some friends
that wanted to play with it.

I realize it's way early in the product cycle for phoenix, but this
would make it easier to distribute binaries...

After a successful build, I attempted to package it like I do for mozilla releases:

lidl@hostname-56: pwd
/data/obj/mozilla/xpinstall/packager
lidl@hostname-57: gmake
gmake: *** No rule to make target `../../dist/bin/mozilla-bin', needed by
`mozilla-i386-pc-bsdi4.3.tar.gz'.  Stop.

Can phoenix support be added to the packager Makefile?

Confirming. As a stopgap measure, going through xpinstall/packager/Makefile and
replacing instances of "mozilla" with "phoenix" (except in variable names) works
for me.

Workaround (quick&dirty) from my nightly build script for Solaris:
-- snip --
% cd xpinstall/packager/
% gmake MOZ_PKG_APPNAME=phoenix MOZILLA_BIN=../../dist/bin/phoenix-bin
-- snip --

-> All/All

The problem is escalated on OS X where the there's you also hit the logic that
defines _APPNAME
