453569 - directories are not cleaned when Makefile.in changes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Karl Tomlinson (:karlt)]

STR:

Use a mozconfig for Firefox with MOZ_MALLOC enabled.
(Should be most builds but not tracemalloc builds.)

% rm -r obj/memory/jemalloc
% hg export 12616044efd3 | patch -p1 -R
% make -f client.mk build
% ls obj/memory/jemalloc/
Makefile  jemalloc.o  libjemalloc.so
% hg export 12616044efd3 | patch -p1
% make -f client.mk build
% ls obj/memory/jemalloc/; ldd obj/dist/bin/firefox-bin | grep malloc

Expected results:
Makefile  jemalloc.o  libjemalloc.a

Actual results:
Makefile  jemalloc.o  libjemalloc.a  libjemalloc.so
        libjemalloc.so => not found

(The "not found" is found at run time, but it should not exist.)

Pretty sure this dependency issue got fixed in the 9 years since this bug was filed.
