Example log, a clobber:
http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=Firefox/1251885720.1251890078.25778.gz
That's for a mozilla-central build using NSS 3.12.4.

Nick, none of the NSS developers do WINCE builds, so one
of the Fennec developers will need to look into this and
submit a patch.

Could you get a directory listing of the
e:\builds\moz2_slave\mozilla-central-wince-nightly\build\obj-firefox\nss\nssutil
directory?  Is there any .pdb file there?

Doesn't appear to be:

[Wan-Teh Chang]

This is the important part of the build log, where we built
nssutil3.dll.  Does this generate a nssutil3.pdb file?

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

That won't; needs a -PDB:"..../nssutil3.pdb", otherwise it'll (I think) be named something generic.  But there's also no -DEBUG there to begin with...

[Wan-Teh Chang]

I think you need to study how you cross-compile NSS for WINCE
in http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/security/manager/Makefile.in#241

You may need to pass additional linker or compiler flags to
NSS when MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS is defined.  Alternatively, as a
workaround, don't export MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS for NSS when you
are cross-compiling NSS for WINCE.

If MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS is defined, NSS expects a .pdb file.

I don't see anything obviously wrong with those make arguments, but it's possible that our entire WinCE build doesn't handle MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS properly.

Comment 7

[Brad Lassey [:blassey] (use needinfo?)]

Attachment: doesn't export MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS for WINCE

It would be nice to fix nss to produce symbols, but until that happens let's not have a broken build

Brad, this workaround is fine.  Please add a comment to
explain why (at least reference this bug).

This is fine, but please leave this bug open for a real fix.

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

wtc, i missed your request to add a comment, sorry.  Maybe blassey or I can investigate the actual bustage in the very near term allowing us to back out that workaround.

dougt: just add a "See bug 514295" comment!

Marking as P2.

Comment 17

[(not currently active) Ted Mielczarek]

A workaround was landed on trunk and 1.9.2 to avoid this, I don't think we need to block on the correct solution.

Comment 18

[Damon Sicore (:damons)]

Removing blocking flag per Comment 17.
