333239 - Remove --enable-native-uconv OR always include working scriptable uconv

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 333261

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[James Ross]

It has transpired that the --enable-native-uconv build option causes the scriptable Unicode converter to not be built.
  http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/intl/uconv/src/Makefile.in#87

There are at least two bugs (bug 327835 and bug 327827) that are the direct result of someone trying to build with this flag. There is no way either of these apps (and potentially others) can run without a scriptable Unicode converter.

Thus, there are only two options available:
  - drop --enable-native-uconv entirely
  - build the scriptable Unicode converter always

See also bug 333261, which may be the same thing.

Yeah, that bug looks like my second proposed solution.

(sorry about forward-duping, but that one has a patch)
