234827 - --disable-xpinstall doesn't work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 320210

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

Reproduction
1. Fetch firefox or build your own XUL app
2. ./configure --disable-xpinstall

Actual result:
- Build breaks in nsAppRunner.cpp with "'InstallCleanupDefines.h': No such file
or directory"

Expected result:
All available config options work

Environment:
Tested on Windows MSVC++6, but most likely cross-platform.

Importance:
--disable-xpinstall makes a lot of sense for XUL apps, i.e. non-browser
applications written in XUL which should be executable standalone. They don't
need any add-ons or anything, because there most likely aren't any. It doesn't
make sense to offer XPI installs, where there's no valid use for it, but abuse
is still possible.

Ah, the joys of forking.  See bug 198296.

Based on comment #1, I'm not sure if this bug is "Dup of" or "Depends on" Bug
#198584.

Setting Depends on for now.
