36464 - NSPR names shared libraries incorrectly on OpenBSD 2.6+

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(NSPR :: NSPR, defect, P3)

Description

[greg-mozillabugs]

Not sure about the version number of NSPR, whatever's supplied with M15.
It tries to build libxxx.so whereas shared object must be named .so.n.m
on OpenBSD. This results in link errors later in mozilla build
(libplds4, libplc4, libnspr4 couldn't be found)

Here's the patch which lets me build the lizard:
Index: nsprpub/config/OpenBSD.mk

Thanks for the bug report.  The NSPR version
number is 4.0.

We are going to convert the NSPR license terms
to dual MPL/GPL.  Is it okay for us to release
your patch under MPL/GPL?

The fix is checked in on the main trunk.
/cvsroot/mozilla/nsprpub/config/OpenBSD.mk, revision 3.6

The fix is checked in on the NSPRPUB_RELEASE_4_0_BRANCH.
/cvsroot/mozilla/nsprpub/config/OpenBSD.mk, revision 3.5.8.1

I will check in the fix on the NSPRPUB_CLIENT_BRANCH when
the mozilla tree opens.

Setting OS field on unverified OpenBSD bugs so they can be found.
