475026 - mozilla/nsprpub/configure fails to regenerate

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Serge Gautherie (:sgautherie)]

If I delete this file,
Firefox regenerates it during its build.

But SeaMonkey does not, then fails with
{
creating xpcom/xpcom-private.h
configuring in nsprpub
running /bin/sh .../mozilla/build/autoconf/configure [...]
.../mozilla/build/autoconf/configure: .../mozilla/build/autoconf/configure: No such file or directory
configure: error: .../mozilla/build/autoconf/configure failed for nsprpub
configure: error: .../mozilla/configure failed for mozilla
*** Fix above errors and then restart with               "make -f client.mk build"
make[1]: *** [configure] Error 1
}

This bug should be either marked invalid or moved to the
SeaMonkey product.  mozilla/nsprpub/configure is part of
our source tree.  It is regenerated manually and checked
in whenever we change mozilla/nsprpub/configure.in.  It
is not regenerated automatically during the build.

Maybe invalid.
Let's try SeaMonkey first though.

[Robert Kaiser]

We ought to not regenerate files that are part of the source tree.

It turned out the actual bug was neither in NSPR nor SeaMonkey:
bug 480680 fixed Core/Firefox.

V.Invalid, from our side(s) ;->
