285940 - gccsetup page for OS/2 needs update

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter Weilbacher]

Since that page was last updated several things happened: winico changed on
Hobbes, GCC 3.2.2 CSD 1 was released, .mozconfig use was changed to select
compile target. Also, 'SET PROGRAMS=' was never added to setmozenv.cmd which
might cause problems for eCS users where this variable is set in Config.sys and
causes some Makefile to not work correctly.

Attachment: diff for the HTML

This adds the new stuff and changes the wrong links.

[Andy Willis (abwillis)]

Do we want to also put up alternate instructions for GCC 3.3.5?  Mostly it would
be a link to GCC 3.3.5 and an updated setmozenv.  I have been using 3.3.5 since
it started building and they seem to be stable builds.  The only reason I use
3.2.2 now is either to make sure it isn't a compiler issue (hasn't been yet) or
the latter static builds so that people didn't have to get the libc for 3.3.5.

I forgot... GCC 3.3.5 needs an updated glibidl too.

Fix checked in.

I think we'll wait on the new GCC stuff until it is official.

Comment 5

[Peter Weilbacher]

The different steps involved in building should be layed out a bit nicer (start
new lines). In the earlier patch the instructions for the GCC CSD package and
the checkout step (that now requires the .mozconfig before the pull) were not
accurate.
Reopening.

Attachment: More information added

I took the last diff from Peter and added one more information.
Could someone please check if this diff is ok, as this is my first attempt to
create a diff for the website.
The diff was created against the current version of the website.

Here's the original file.

Please make the diffs against it.

The new ones aren't applying.

Thanks

I just looked at the GCC setup page and it seems to contain all the changes that
were in my diff file. Did somebody else apply them already?!

You can look at the changes to the webpages using the "Document History" link at
the bottom. And yes, from that it seems that Mike's checkin did work, despite
the messages he got. So I am resolving this as fixed again, the stuff that other
people in the newsgroups found out should probably go into a new bug.
