524785 - configure fails in NSPR when run with absolute path

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSPR :: NSPR, defect)

Description

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

Found via bug 524636, when trying to get a pymake build working with my objdir on a different drive

$ cd d:/obj
$ e:/mozilla-central/configure

[...]
creating Makefile
sed: can't read d: No such file or directory
sed: can't read d:/mozilla-central/nsprpub//mozilla-central/nsprpub/Makefile.in:
 No such file or directory
creating config/Makefile
sed: can't read d: No such file or directory
sed: can't read d:/mozilla-central/nsprpub//mozilla-central/nsprpub/config/Makef

sed: can't read d: No such file or directory
sed: can't read d:/mozilla-central/nsprpub//mozilla-central/nsprpub/config/autoc
onf.mk.in: No such file or directory

[...]

invoking make to create js-config script
make.exe: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.in', needed by `Makefile'.  Stop.

configure: error: d:/mozilla-central/js/src/configure failed for js/src


I believe bsmedberg said this is because NSPR needs a patch ala bug 485409.

This is an updated version of bsmedberg's patch. It seems to work fine.

Can the note at the bottom of https://developer.mozilla.org/en/pymake be changed now that this is fixed?
