569836 - Build fails on Fedora Core 13

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

Building firefox on Fedora Core 13 fails with this error:

mozilla-central/toolkit/crashreporter/google-breakpad/src/common/linux/file_id.cc:132: error: ‘fstat’ was not declared in this scope

A fix is attached, which as far as I understand is OK since this is linux-specific anyway.

This seems to be an upstream bug, already reported to upstream:
http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-dev/browse_thread/thread/edc32dca4f7120c1

Note to fedora users stumbling on this: in addition to this fix, you will also need to make sure to have the glibc-static package installed to get firefox to build on F13.

thanks to cjones for the idea --- although it's trivial, I let the above link discourage me from trying it!

FYI, Breakpad upstream is here: http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/

Thunderbird 3.1.x (current) and Thunderbird 3.2 (next) both are using mozilla-1.9.2; it would be great to be able to build Thunderbird on Fedora 13 sans patched mozilla-1.9.2.

Thank you for the approval.

I've hit this on 32bit Fedora 14 but not 64bit. I've been moving away from Centos5 builders and it would be nice to still be able to build 1.9.1 on my newer Fedora instances.

We've built and almost shipped 1.9.1.19 so this didn't make it. Don't want it landing now
