467704 - using --enable-extensions=all leads to a lot of breakage and frustration

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 450015

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[JF Mertens]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Darwin i386; en-US; rv:1.8.1.18) Gecko/20081124 SeaMonkey/1.1.13
Build Identifier: seamonkey-2.0a1.source.tar.bz2

since all times (even before seamonkey), fink's buildscript for mozilla
used --enable-extensions=all.
With seamonkey-2.0a1, this leads to a high number of repeated trials,
to find out one by one which ones don't work _ and it are many !!!
To get finally to the following additional lines in the Patchscript :

# Else : "configure: error: Unrecognized extension provided to --enable-extensions: p3p." Same for datetime, finger...
# Why not as "configure: warning: Cannot currently build sroaming without xpcom obsolete -- bug 249343. Removing sroaming from MOZ_EXTENSIONS."
 sed -ri'' -e '/^MOZ_EXTENSIONS_ALL=/s, (p3p|datetime|finger|cview|tasks|sql|xforms|schema-validation),,g' configure

This is in mozilla/configure ..
I think the above comment is self-explanatory : please make them work! ,
but as long as some don't, handle them as  sroaming  ..

--enable-extensions=all is deprecated and will not ever work again. We added an error message that makes this clear in bug 450015
