235376 - mozilla-xremote-client missing from Linux builds

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Anders Kaseorg]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040221 Firefox/0.8.0+

The latest nightly Linux build is missing mozilla-xremote-client. That was
needed to make mailto: links from other places work whether or not Thunderbird
is running (calling thunderbird -remote is less efficient).

Reproducible: Always

Now that there are Linux nightlies, mozilla-xremote-client is *still* missing.

Comment 2

[Scott MacGregor]

did 0.5 come with x-remote on it? I didn't think we had to do anything special
on linux to pick up xremote.

Comment 3

[Scott MacGregor]

the linux packager packages the following pieces:

/mail/config/basemail-unix, line 351 -- components/libxremoteservice.so
/mail/config/basemail-unix, line 352 -- components/libxremote_client.so
/mail/config/basemail-unix, line 353 -- components/xremoteservice.xpt


What are we still missing that's not getting packaged?

cc'in Frederic. He might be able to quickly test out a missing packaging change
and spin up a test build with such a change.

0.6 is about to take flight so we need to figure out ASAP if there is a real
problem here.

[Scott MacGregor]

Could the problem be as simple as we are not packaging the actual file called
"mozilla-xremote-client"

MozJF, can you look in dist\bin and see if there is a file there with that name?
If so I'll add it to the packaging list so it gets copied into dist\thunderbird

Attachment: possible fix

I am waiting for the xpm fix and I will do a test and tell you. You will have an
answer in less than one hour.

Comment 7

[Frederic Bezies]

Yes, there is a "mozilla-xremote-client" in dist/bin.

Grabbing your patch, applying it and testing it to see if it works. Answer in
less than one hour, again ;o)

Comment 8

[Frederic Bezies]

Patch could not be applied on an up-to-date 0.6 branch source because of an
error in line 322 or something like this ?

Comment 9

[Scott MacGregor]

you can safely make the change by hand too

Comment 10

[Frederic Bezies]

Ok, I will apply the change by hand, but it would have been safer by a patch.
Answer in one hour.

Comment 11

[Frederic Bezies]

Ok, this option adds about 40 kb in size.

But I don't mozilla-remote in dist/thunderbird at the end of building process.
Is it normal ?

fixed for .6, the 1.7 branch and the trunk
