I had this strange error when I compiled Camino from todays Trunk code.

First it said "Build Succeeded", then it display an error message a couple of
lines below.

tempted to mark WFM...it works for everyone else. did you misconfigure something
in your environment?

[Mark Mentovai]

The SharedMenusCocoa.framework in your build directory has gotten screwed up. 
We used to see this with PrintPDE and other things that Xcode manages.  Do this:

rm -rf
/Users/krmathis/Camino/mozilla/camino_7450_optimized/camino/build/Deployment/Camino.app/Contents/
Frameworks/SharedMenusCocoa.framework

then retry your build.

This problem may have existed for you for a long time before, but you didn't
notice it because we weren't copying Camino.app into dist until this morning.

I really dont know whats wrong.
Tried with a fresh MOZ_OBJDIR and got the exact same error. So I pulled a fresh
trunk source from cvs,  but no change. Same error both with or without using an
MOZ_OBJDIR. (checkout finish: Fri Aug 19 17:38:02 CEST 2005)

Might be something wrong on my side, but I dont think so since I had no such
error when I compiled the 08.17 source code.

Yes, I delete this file between each build:
/Users/krmathis/Camino/mozilla/camino_7450_optimized/camino/build/Deployment/Camino.app

I found the cause. I had a looping symlink in my
/Library/Frameworks/SharedMenusCocoa.framework folder, and it rsync´ed
successfully now.

Sorry for the trouble!
