I got several errors while make'ing install on aviary tree checkout from today.
In browser/locales:
make: *** No rule to make target `en-US/profile/chromeuserChrome-example.css',
needed by `install'.  Stop.
Then:
/mnt/sdb5/mozilla-firefox-0.9.3+cvs20040816/config/nsinstall -t -m 644 
../../../debian/tmp/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/searchplugins
usage: /mnt/sdb5/mozilla-firefox-0.9.3+cvs20040816/config/nsinstall [-C cwd] [-L
linkprefix] [-m mode] [-o owner] [-g group]
                                                                    [-DdltR]
file [file ...] directory
make: *** [install] Error 2
(after fixing the first issue)

In browser/app:
(...)
/mnt/sdb5/mozilla-firefox-0.9.3+cvs20040816/config/nsinstall -t -m 644
profile/prefs.js /usr/bin/defaults/profile
/mnt/sdb5/mozilla-firefox-0.9.3+cvs20040816/config/nsinstall: cannot make
directory /usr/bin/defaults: Permission denied
(not really the target I was expecting)

Patch attached to fix these issues.

(well, actually, this bug was filed before... ;) )

Actually, the destdir issue has not been fixed... (end of the patch)

Comment 4

[Jens Granseuer]

I ran across the destdir issue as well, but I'm wondering whether "bindir" in
those rules shouldn't really be "mozappdir" instead...

Comment 5

[andreas]

I agree with comment #4, /usr/bin/defaults is just wrong. But it may not be
enough to change the make install, one has to look where the final binary
expects to find this directory/file.

[Paul van Schayck]

Bug fixed on the trunk. See bug 255958.

The aviary branch has been closed. So this probably won't be fixed anymore. See
bug 263524.
