Probably https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/8e846d7f21ea that busted this -- APP_LIBXUL_DIRS simply isn't included in tier_platform_dirs. To check this, run make echo-variable-tier_platform_dirs in mozilla/.

This means that mailnews/ etc are simply not on the build path. This is pretty bad :)
Summary: tier_platform_dirs doesn't include APP_LIBXUL_DIRS (mailnews/ etc) → tier_platform_dirs doesn't include APP_LIBXUL_DIRS (mailnews/ etc) -- mailnews, xpfe autocomplete etc aren't getting built
Does this mean our linking mailnews with libxul is broken? Or is it that mailnews isn't getting compiled when we rebuild tier_platform?
mailnews isn't getting compiled at all, yeah.

http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=ThunderbirdTrunk/1306166701.1306180393.7364.gz is a build from right before the offending m-c patch.
http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=ThunderbirdTrunk/1306180239.1306189538.15982.gz&fulltext=1 is a succeeding build from right after. Search for "imap" to see the difference -- the build right after is succeeding only because it's using a stale version of mailnews.
Standard8 figured out how to make tier_platforms build mailnews in the first place, so I'm hoping he can figure out how it was broken...
Given our regression range, cc-ing ted and khuey incase they have time to offer insight.
AHA:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/suite/build.mk#40

and

http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/build.mk#40

Our issue is that these two if's are being checked in the m-c code.

Where thats no longer defined.

Standard8, sid, KaiRo: rs+=me for a fix for this. (I'll prefer Mark, since he knows the plan for branching c-c->beta/aurora) anyone else, get review.

This patch:
* Moves the code that was in ifdef MOZ_ENABLE_LIBXUL out of it
* Removes all the code that was in ifndef MOZ_ENABLE_LIBXUL or an else from above.

At the moment BUILD_STATIC_LIBS will be another patch, just testing whether a clobber build will work without that patch.

I was able to do a clobber build on windows with this patch and run - I had ac_add_options --enable-chrome-format=jar in my .mozconfig, so I'm trying a clobber build w/o that to see if that somehow made my build work first time.

Still the static build stuff plus what is to happen with the test that didn't work under MOZ_ENABLE_LIBXUL (TestMsgStripRE.cpp, TestImapHdrXferInfo.cpp, TestImapFlagAndUidState.cpp and TestMimeCrash.cpp)

This patch:

I've not touch the stuff round BUILD_STATIC_SHELL though.

Just testing against local clobbers for TB and SM.

clearing tracking request since deeper triage proved this to be a comm-* issue, and not directly a Gecko issue.

We don't actually use LIBXUL_LIBS in our build system (and it isn't in autoconf.mk), so I think you can just drop this line as it is a no-op.

I've not tested this, but it looks fine. rs=me with that fixed.

I know mozilla-central has left this line in, but it is useless:

We should just drop it now.
