61463 - can't link on OpenVMS any more

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P3)

Description

[Colin Blake]

OpenVMS builds on the trunk are busted. Static libs are not getting included 
when linking any more.

The real problem is that SHARED_LIBRARY_LIBS is not getting defined in 
EXTRA_DSO_LDOPTS any more (and it always used to). This is due to a recent 
change to config/rules.mk by cls (rev 3.254).

I am testing the fix now and will post the diffs once it checks out.

Chris, looking for an r,a=cls. Thanks, Colin.

So OpenVMS' linker links all of the symbols of a static library into a shared
lib or binary by default?  If that's not the case, then you may want to try
jdunn's fix for HPUX from bug 61368.  If that is the case, then r=cls.

Well, no, not exactly. I use vmsld for linking, and this isn't the standard 
linker. It takes care of some the Mozilla "funnies", and pulling in all the 
symbols from static libraries is one of them.
