494025 - electrolysis: Compile initial work on Linux and Mac

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XPCOM, defect)

Description

[Chris Jones [:cjones] inactive; ni?/f?/r? if you need me]

We're not really tracking issues here; I'm just using this as a TODO list and patch backup.

Attachment: backup

Sorry, this patch didn't "take" to bugzilla first time around.

Comment 2

Attachment: my mozconfig for building above

Unfortunately had to enable RTTI, due to config/system-headers dependency on buggy g++ header (tr1/functional).

Attachment: backup v2, builds more stuff

Remaining is chasing down link errors in TestIPCShell.  Hopefully I can do that tonight.

Ben T., this includes a Makefile.in for libevent.  Everything in this patch depends on libevent living in

  ipc/chromium/third_party/libevent

which is, not incidentally, where it lives in the chromium source tree.  I had to patch libevent slightly to build, but it was trivial stuff.  I'll see if I can extract a patch and post that here, too.

Attachment: libevent patch

There's a lot of unnecessary garbage in here relating to libevent's Makefile.in being replaced by ours.  I decided to leave all the garbage; I don't know the best way to manage the two.  I'd vote to just overwriting it with our own.  Another way may be with a |ifdef CHROMIUM_MOZILLA_BUILD ... else ...| hack.

Attachment: backup v3, compiles!

Easiest like error EVAR --- just two libraries listed out of the order that ld wants them.

Comment 6

[Chris Jones [:cjones] inactive; ni?/f?/r? if you need me]

Attachment: backup v4, rebased

Compiles on my machine, but probably won't apply cleanly to the main repository.  Looks like mq and --rebase screwed up my local copy of libevent.  Ben T., we'll probably need to fix this junk by hand when you have the time.

I suppose it would have been too much to hope for the dashed thing to run, also.  I'd prefer to track this work in another bug.  Leaving this one open until we resolve the merge/import issues.  For the record, the current error on starting TestIPCShell is:

Comment 9

Attachment: backup v5

Now compatible with bent's import of libevent.  Doesn't quite build due a tiers issue with libchromiumthirdparty, but close enough for government work.
