389798 - build failure, cannot find or see nsBuildID.h?

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 386925

(Calendar :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Ray Kiddy]

This is on Mac OS X 10.4.9 on a 2.16 GHz Intel Dual Core with 2 GB RAM.

I did the following:

% mkdir ~/mo/calendar
% cd ~/mo/calendar
% cvs -d :pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot co mozilla/client.mk

Then I fixed the client.mk file by changing "CVS = cvs" to "CVS = ocvs".

% make -f client.mk MOZ_CO_PROJECT=calendar

As you can see, I forgot to specify the "checkout" target. So, it tried to continue on through the call to configure and failed because it did not know to set --enable-application.

% ./configure-application --enable-application=calendar
% make

and I got:

I noticed that the nsBuildID.h file was missing, so I tried a work-around. I copied config/nsBuildID.h.in to config/nsBuildID.h. I still got the same error.

I am not sure if the original configure, without the parameter, caused a problem, or if there is just a build issue. Will re-fetch and report later.

Ray, please search for duplicates before filing a bug. Searching for "nsBuildID.h" would have shown you the original bug.
