31990 - need to be able to generate package information as part of the build

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Axel Hecht]

What needs to be in a distribution for either
1) running mozilla
2) developing components for mozilla
3) developing mozilla

1) should only contain those files, that need to be running mozilla
2) should be some kind of SDK, and contain all the files one needs to 
   develop components and plugins.
   There should be some integration into a build system as well.
   Should there be rules.mk, autoconf.mk or autoconf.mk.in in lib?
   How about something like mozilla-config, cloning gnome-config?
   Then one could probably add most of the important stuff, and still let people
   choose compilers, optimization, debug on their own.
3) is of course the complete source. This is here just to distinguish headers
   like widget/public/nsIDragSessionGTK.h, which are currently in dist/incude,
   but only for internal use.

This has been pretty unix-centric so far, what is needed for other platforms?

Changing severity to "enhancement" - I think that's what it is, anyway. 
Confirming, also.
