199852 - about:buildconfig does not list the version for certain non-gcc compilers

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Roland Mainz]

about:buildconfig does not list the version for non-gcc compilers (like Sun
Workshop/Forte).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Build with a non-gcc compiler like Sun Workshop/Forte or the MipsPro compiler
2. Start the build
3. Go to about:buildconfig

Result:
Compiler version shows "N/A"

Expected result (on Solaris when the build was compiled with Sun Workshop 7):
CC version:  cc: Forte Developer 7 C 5.4 2002/03/09
CXX version: CC: Forte Developer 7 C++ 5.4 Patch 111715-05 2003/02/09

No, it doesn't.  When someone let's me know how to determine the version for the
various compilers, that support will be added.

Comment 2

[Markus Doehr]

this is working fine for me:

Build platform
target
i386-pc-solaris2.9

Build tools
Compiler 	Version 	Compiler flags
cc 	Sun C 5.5 EA2 2003/01/09 	-xstrconst -xbuiltin=%all -mt
CC 	Sun C++ 5.5 EA2 2003/01/09 	-xbuiltin=%all -mt -I/usr/openwin/include

Configure arguments
--enable-optimize=-xO1 --disable-debug --disable-shared --enable-static
--disable-tests --enable-svg --enable-extensions --enable-toolkit=gtk2
--enable-mathml --enable-crypto

Mass reassign to new default build assignee

Comment 4

[(default assignee for unassigned bugs. does not receive bugmail)]

Mass reassign of Build/Config bugs to Leaf.

Comment 5

[Chase Phillips]

Mass reassign of open bugs for [e-mail] to [e-mail].

Comment 6

[J. Paul Reed [:preed]]

Mass re-assign of bugs that aren't on the build team radar, so bugs assigned to [e-mail] reflects reality.

If there is a bug you really think we need to be looking at, please *email* [e-mail] with a bug number and explanation.

[Chris Cooper [:coop] (he/him)]

Mass bug cleanup for Core:Build Config.
