236114 - Can't build Mozilla on QNX

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Stephen Rasku]

I get many errors in elf-dynstr-gc.c when I try and compile the 1.6 branch.  I
will attach a log of the errors.  A few fixes that I made was that <sys/elf.h>
should be included instead of <elf.h>.  In addition, <sys/elf_dyn.h> should be
included as well.

Attachment: List of errors generated on QNX 6.2.0

I haven't included <sys/elf.h> or <sys/elf_dyn.h> as described in the bug
report to generate this log.

An easier workaround would be to use --disable-elf-dynstr-gc .  Not sure why
elf-dynstr-gc is on by default for qnx.

<sys/elf.h> seems to be for something completely different on linux (the only
platform were elf-dynstr-gc is actively used) and <sys/elf_dyn.h> doesn't exist
at all with glibc.  I'm wondering if we should add a configure check for elf.h &
sys/elf.h or just use a _QNX_ define here.

Using the --disable-elf-dynstr-gc workaround allows me to get further but now I
get the following error because the mozilla/embedding/browser/photon/mozserver
does not exist:

make[5]: Entering directory `/home/empress/srasku/mozilla/embedding/browser/phot

If you try to build the seamonkey browser, you shouldn't build into the
embedding directory.
This is fixed in the head branch. If you are not using head branch, modify the:

embedding/browser/Makefile.in

and remove the lines:

ifdef MOZ_ENABLE_PHOTON
DIRS += photon
endif

More progress but now I get this error:

Maybe you modified the gcc/g++ environment that came with 621.
I can succesfully build seamonkey/firefox/thunderbird/minimo on qnx 621 or 630,
head branch or any branch. Go to http://www.qnxzone.com/~amardare and download
the packages.

We are using Linux now so we don't need this.
