529878 - libnssutil3.dylib not linking correctly

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Jeremy Huddleston]

It does not pull in LDFLAGS passed at ./configure time.  This results in it building from the wrong target architecture if "-arch ____" is passed in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.

libplc4, libplds4, and libnspr4 are all of the correct architecture.  The problem is that libnssutil3 is not building with '-arch i386' even though it was given as part of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS at ./configure time

NSS doesn't respect CFLAGS/LDFLAGS passed in from the Mozilla build system. It's apparently always been this way.

Comment 4

[Jeremy Huddleston]

I forgot I already reported this issue... the build system is so convoluted... I'm having trouble figuring out exactly where this is coming from... It looks like mainly security/coreconf/*

Comment 5

[Jeremy Huddleston]

This is increasingly important on OSX since we need to pass in '-arch i386' to tell the build system to build for 32bit even when we're on a 64bit machine.

NSS has its own separate Makefile (non-autoconf) build system. The Mozilla build system calls into the NSS build system here:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/security/manager/Makefile.in

You may be able to suss out some of the details from that makefile.

Bug against ancient toolchain we no longer support.
