This is building firefox from the 1.7 branch. Not sure if it's firefox-
specific, so reporting it against browser as the lowest possible common-
denominator.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to build with --disable-installer on Solaris / SunStudio
2.
3.

Actual Results:  

Build fails.

Expected Results:  

Build should work.

[Iain MacDonnell]

Erm, in the "Steps to reproduce", I, of course, meant to say "build withOUT
--disable-installer"

Comment 2

[Andrew Schultz]

Are you building on Sun hardware or x86 (might not matter)?

Installer got forked

==> firefox

Comment 3

[Iain MacDonnell]

I'm building on SPARC in this case, but I'm pretty sure it'd be the same on
Solaris/x86.

Comment 4

[Chi-Thanh Christopher Nguyen]

This may be the same problem as in bug 209747 and bug 237692

Not really - I don't believe this one has anything to do with GTK2. Note 100%
sure, though.

This is fixed in #260337.

Attachment: direct port from aviary

Comment 8

[Andrew Schultz]

ugh.  is this not needed for the Seamonkey installer?  I can't find a reason why
it wouldn't be needed, but no bugs were ever filed.
