370506 - mkdepend failure at layout/build/nsLayoutModule.cpp

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Robert Longson [:longsonr]]

Attachment: patch

I've not been able to build firefox since the Makefile.in bustage fix checkin for Bug 369099.

The underlying problem is that mkdepend reports "Too many -include flags"

[Robert Longson [:longsonr]]

bug 367860 was about MAXDIRS being too small. This is about MAXINCFILES being too small. 

Although the problem occurs at the same point in the build they are different issues.

Whoops.  My bad.

Comment 5

[Bengt-Erik Soderstrom]

Unfortunately, the proposed patch does not help. Bumping MAXINCFILES even higher does not help either.

It fixed it for me on Windows XP just fine. You have to do a full clobber though, it seems.

make -f client.mk clean build

Comment 7

[Bengt-Erik Soderstrom]

Well, to be sure I nuked my object directory before building. Nope, did not work...Funny, though, Mingw is happy...

Comment 8

[Bengt-Erik Soderstrom]

Maybe I made somemistake earlier. Anyhow now it works (VC8) fine again.

This could be why WINNT 5.2 fxexp-win32-tbox Dep FF-XR % and WINNT 5.2 fxexp-win32-tbox Dep Unit Testing % are busted

Fixed on trunk.

I think you need to do something to make the tinderboxes recompile mkdepend. I think a cvs commit without changes to mkdepend/main.c would be sufficient.
