284809 - 64 bit compile errors using gcc4

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 269823

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

There are several places we cast pointers to integers, which is now flagged as
an error by gcc4 when the integer cannot hold the pointer, a problem on 64-bit
arches.

Attachment: Patch, against firefox 1.0.1

I will attempt to compile the trunk later today on an x86-64.  This patch is
against the branch.

isn't this a duplicate of bug 269823?

Comment 4

[John Lenz]

security/nss/lib/pki1/oiddata.h is a generated file, and so if anyone runs make
oidgen inside security/nss/lib/pki1 the oiddata.h file will get overwritten. 
You should update the patch to not only patch oiddata.h but also patch oidgen.perl

If that is indeed the correct fix for this problem, see Bug 286016
