257630 - Error in "/xpinstall/src/" when trying to build Firefox with Apple GCC-3.5-tree-ssa

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Martin Creutziger [:MMx]]

As in all bugs tracked by bug 257100, I got an error when trying to compile
Firefox with the Apple gcc-3.5-tree-ssa compiler:

in the directory http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/xpinstall/src/ , after
compilation succeeded, ld pumps out the following warnings and one (fatal) error:

forgot to set severity ... sorry for the bugspam

Hi,
This is is not blocking develpoment.

May I quote from http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/bug_status.html#severity :

Blocker	Blocks development and/or testing work
</quote>

I want to test Firefox with gcc-3.5, as this will be default compiler for MacOS
X 10.4. Therefore it is a blocker for me.

Comment 4

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

I don't have this compiler, or even a mac: re-assigning to build/config. The
people who care about getting this config working can parcel out the bugs.

"Blocker" status usually applies to the project as a whole, and not working on a
compiler we don't yet support doesn't usually qualify (compare past bugs about
getting MSVC 2003 .NET working on windows, or mingw).  You can still make
progress with Mozilla, on a Mac even, using another compiler. But that's just my
opinion, and I don't really care if the bug's not in my bucket.

Comment 5

[Martin Creutziger [:MMx]]

actually, this is more likely Core then Firefox, but let's see if it even still
exists with the final version of MacOS X 10.4 (shipping with gcc4.0)

Comment 6

[Samuel Sidler (old account; do not CC)]

Martin, can you reproduce still? GCC 3.5 was only used in development releases
and Tiger shipped with GCC 3.3/GCC 4, both of which shouldn't have any trouble
building Firefox.
