602239 - Firefox 3.6.10 fails to build on Debian 4

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Jim Nelson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.6.10 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.9.2

Trying to build XULRunner and Firefox on Debian 4, the build failed with the attached error.

On advice from bz in the #developers channel, I added
#include <compat/sys/queue.h>
to all of the .c files in ipc/chromium/src/third_party/libevent/.

That allowed the build to continue, although with errors about redefined macros.

I am compiling off a custom built GTK+-2.10 and a few other libraries that needed updating.

Reproducible: Always

Firefox 3.6 is old and stale.
