189678 - Building on Solaris assumes SUN linker not GNU implying errors while building

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 91224

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Kristian Sørensen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020829
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020829

The makefiles assumes without testing, that when building on Solaris, Sun's
linker is to be used. The following files need to be corrected, if one wants to
build on Solarsis using GNU tools:

Remove the ',' between -B and symbolic in ./security/nss/lib/freebl/Makefile
  - simply remove the ',' do not replace with a ' '
and remove '-M,mapfile.Solaris' - not the one without the ','

Comment out line 'MKSHLIB += -M $(MAPFILE)' in
./security/coreconf/SunOS5.mk

In ./directory/c-sdk/build.mk comment out the lines:
DLLEXPORTS_PREFIX=-Blocal -M
USE_DLL_EXPORTS_FILE        = 1


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile on Solaris 2.8, using GCC 2.95.x and GNU linker


Actual Results:  
Build fails due to wrong parameters for the GNU ld.

Expected Results:  
Builded sucessfully

Hope the above is okay, else send an email!
