454492 - nanojit build integration misses targets such as distclean

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Brendan Eich [:brendan]]

I had to re-pull my m-c tree to cope with seemingly unfixable residue from srcdir build configuration, and after distclean in my old tree (mozilla-centra.bad), I found, among the diff -r output against the freshly-cloned new mozilla-central tree, the following:

Only in mozilla-central.bad/js/src/nanojit: Assembler.o
Only in mozilla-central.bad/js/src/nanojit: Fragmento.o
Only in mozilla-central.bad/js/src/nanojit: LIR.o
Only in mozilla-central.bad/js/src/nanojit: Nativei386.o
Only in mozilla-central.bad/js/src/nanojit: RegAlloc.o
Only in mozilla-central.bad/js/src/nanojit: avmplus.o

Seems dire. Who can help? Jim, is your new stuff making nanojit build fu all much better?

No; we need to keep 97954 minimal, for the reviewers.

I think the reason the default targets are missing the nanojit object files is that we append $(srcdir)/nanojit to VPATH.  The object files end up in js/src, not js/src/nanojit, and the default targets don't find them there.

Obsolete with the removal of tracejit.
