251825 - Unable to compile on FreeBSD 4.8 with gcc 2.95.4: nsNativeAppSupportBase.o(.text+0x2ac): undefined reference to `NS_CreateSplashScreen(nsISplashScreen **)'

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Constantine A. Murenin]

I am unable to compile Firefox from the trunk on my FreeBSD 4.8 using default
compiler gcc 2.95.4. 

I have had no problems in compiling mozilla app suite today. 

Last time I compiled firefox was 2004-06-12. This is a regression.

Benjamin, I think this might have been caused by your checkin on 2004-06-17. Do
you have any suggestions on how I can work around it? 

Comment 2

[Benjamin Smedberg]

You need a clean source tree and object tree. In particular, remove any source
files in <objdir>/toolkit/xre (nsNativeAppSupportBase.cpp used to be nsinstalled
into that directory, and is not any more).

Thanks, completely removing directory @MOZ_OBJDIR@/toolkit/xre/ solved the
problem. Having a workaround, marking this bug WORKSFORME, as told by Benjamin.
