418548 - build fails on libsoftokn3.so (for undefined symbol in libsqlite3.so)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Matthieu Paindavoine]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS i86pc; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071119 Firefox/2.0.0.9
Build Identifier: firefox-3.0b3

Platform: SunOS 5.11 snv_79a i86pc i386 i86pc

Compiler: gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-20050802)

Mozconfig:
ac_add_options --enable-application=browser
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/firefox-build
ac_add_options --enable-debug --enable-optimize
ac_add_options --enable-shared --disable-static

I modified the top configure.in line 976, replace '-rpath-link' with '-R'

Compilation seems successful (almost everything compiles), until...

Any suggestion?



Reproducible: Always

[Matthieu Paindavoine]

The problem is fixed (and firefox compiles entirely) when I replace all occurences of '-G' by '-shared' in configure.

man gcc:
[...]
     -G  Create a shared object.  It is recommended that
         -symbolic or -shared be used instead.

I don't know what are all the consequences of replacing -G with -shared, but it fixes the compilation problemq
