444500 - build failure for TestGtkEmbed on Irix

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dimitrios Apostolou]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061712 Fedora/3.0-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: firefox 3.0 rc1

The TestGtkEmbed program was failing to link, and reason seems it was bug 298044. In particular the dynamic linking of xpcom standalone component is not implemented on Irix. Since the platform is standard UNIX, and has dlopen()/dlsym(), the attached oneliner patch seems to do the job fine.

Reproducible: Always

This is a mass search for bugs that are in the Firefox General component, are
UNCO, and have not been changed for 800 days and have an unspecified version. 

Reporter, can you please update to Firefox 3.6.10, create a fresh profile,
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/managing+profiles, and test again. If you
still see the bug, please update this bug. If the issue is gone, please set the
resolution to RESOLVED > WORKSFORME.

After two years of not getting *any* reply, I now get a warning about closing this... This is not a bug report, but a PATCH so if you don't apply it it won't get fixed.
