Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 442679

(Cloud Services :: General, defect)

Description

[Gerald Turner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008062908 Iceweasel/3.0 (Debian-3.0~rc2-2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008062908 Iceweasel/3.0 (Debian-3.0~rc2-2)

Build fails with message "Sorry, your arch is unknown/unsupported: x86_64".

I am using Mercurial repository version:

  changeset:   987:c76247312783
  tag:         tip
  user:        Dan Mills <[e-mail]>
  date:        Fri Jul 11 14:47:15 2008 -0700
  summary:     beef up fault tolerance module and hook it up to the service

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow build instructions at http://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Weave/Building using a Linux x86_64 machine
Actual Results:  
$ make
./build/subst.pl src/WeaveCrypto.rc 'buildid=987' 'unpacked=' 'jar=# '
./build/subst.pl chrome.manifest 'buildid=987' 'unpacked=' 'jar=# '
make -C src install
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/gturner/src/mozilla/tmp/weave/src'
Makefile:93: *** Sorry, your arch is unknown/unsupported: x86_64.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gturner/src/mozilla/tmp/weave/src'
make: *** [platform] Error 2


Furthermore after editing src/Makefile, bypassing a failed unit test (test_service), making the xpi, Firefox refuses to install the xpi because install.rdf is missing a targetPlatform element for Linux_x86_64-gcc3.

I just noticed you added that patch.  I've committed a fix from bug 442679 just recently which is similar to your patch.  Thanks!
