218905 - Mozilla and Firebird don't compile on Linux-2.6 as Linux2.6.mk is not available

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 212797

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[joost helberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030910

The files Linux2.{1,2,3,4,5}.mk are available, but Linux.2.6.mk not.
I do
    # cp security/coreconf/Linux2.5.mk security/coreconf/Linux2.6.mk
in order to compile mozilla (1.4) and firebird (latest) on a linux-2.6 system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.get source
2.compile on linux-2.6
3.

Actual Results:  
compile stops

Expected Results:  
make Linux2.6.mk available

Linux2.6.mk may be an exact copy of Linux2.5.mk.

WFM. I've been able to compile recent nightlies on 2.6.0-test2.

I'm using 2.6.0-test3.
Line 67 of config.mk reads uses the OS_RELEASE for including the OS-specific .mk
file. This ends up being Linux2.6.mk in my case.
This file is not available in the directory security/coreconf, hence an error in
the build-process.
Copying Linux2.5.mk to Linux2.6.mk solves the problem.
