228579 - building using objdir problems

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Internal Components, defect)

Description

[Bjarne D Mathiesen]

I was advised to use an objdir for in order to keep my tree and compiled code
separate for the various things I do.

Now, this gave me the following problems:
1) I had to create these two folders:
   <objdir>/calendar/libxpical
   <objdir>/calendar/libxpical/_xpidlgen
   or the compile failed trying to write to these
2) building the xpi fails no matter whether you use the <sourcedir> or the <objdir>
   I had to do the following first in order for the xpi to build:
   cd <sourcedir>
   cp <objdir>/config/autoconf.mk config/autoconf.mk
   ditto <objdir>/calendar calendar

Attachment: Patch to use $srcdir when referring to source

This patch should fix the problem with builds that have objdir set to another
location.

Checked into CVS.
Note: To build the xpi: Just run "make xpi" in <objdir>/calendar

Mass move of libxpical bugs to the Internal Components, per ctalbert.

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: Internal Components. Be afraid for your sanity!
