(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Josh Aas]

We should sync config.guess to the latest version from gnu and include a fix for this gnu bug I filed:

https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?6827

Comment 1

[Josh Aas]

Attachment: fix v1.0

Comment 2

[Josh Aas]

Without this patch, we have to specify "--target=x86_64-apple-darwin8.0.0" in any 64-bit mozconfig because config.guess gets it wrong and we get build errors.

bsmedberg, cls: do we have any local patches to config.guess, or are we straight from upstream?

Comment 4

[Josh Aas]

We don't have any local patches. The last time we touched config.guess was the last time I synced it, bug 492623, and I removed all Mozilla-specific patches.

Hm, since a few hours I get the following message if I try to build:
"make[1]: execvp: /temp/src/mozilla/build/autoconf/config.guess: Permission denied"
And my objdir is only named "obj-". Is there now a permission problem with config.guess?

Comment 8

[Josh Aas]

Nomis101: I don't know what that is about. No probs for me or for tinderboxes.

Comment 9

[Matthew Gregan [:kinetik]]

It looks like the recently checked in versions lost their executable bits:

Current:
-rw-r--r--	2009-09-08 14:55 -0400	45785	config.guess
-rw-r--r--	2009-09-08 14:55 -0400	34301	config.sub

Old:
-rwxr-xr-x	2009-05-12 23:47 -0400	46260	config.guess
-rwxr-xr-x	2009-05-12 23:47 -0400	33952	config.sub

Comment 10

[Josh Aas]

Should I just change the permissions and commit again?

Comment 11

[(not currently active) Ted Mielczarek]

Yeah, that should work. If I had actually paid attention I would have noticed in your patch here:
diff --git a/build/autoconf/config.guess b/build/autoconf/config.guess
old mode 100755
new mode 100644
