277882 - [Mozilla-Negotiateauth]Can't find header file "gssapi.h" under Linux(JDS)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Alfred Peng]

I'm using SUN JDS(Linux). I met a problem in building mozilla.
I want to enable the negotiateauth extension. It's necessary to find the header
file "gssapi.h" and link the gssapi library for this feature.
Under JDS, the header file "gssapi.h" is in the directory
"/usr/include/heimdal". If I didn't specify the location of GSSAPI library,
mozilla configure file can't find that header file after checking. And I also
can't find a way to specify the location to enable this feature.

The patch moves down the GSSAPI_INCLUDES setting part. Krb5-config can help to
find out the header file "gssapi.h".

krb5-config does not exist on a Solaris system, and on Solaris you almost always
want to use the native gssapi libraries.  So, be sure that krb5-config is only
used AFTER verifying that the system does not have a native gssapi library (libgss).

Yes, it has been verified. Before using krb5-config, the configure file has
checked the native gssapi libraries on Solaris(libgss) by AC_CHECK_LIB(gss,
gss_init_sec_context, [GSSAPI_LIBS="-LGSSAPI_DIR/lib -lgss"]. And on Redhat
Linux, the native gssapi library is libgssapi_krb5, the configure file also
checks it.
After that, krb5-config is used to ensure that the header file can be found on
JDS Linux.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not

cneberg's patches to the GSSAPI code in bug #280792, which are in the 1.5 betas,
and on the trunk, mean that the code ships with an internal copy of gssapi.h -
so an external version is no longer required for successful compilation.
