74947 - nspr does not build with Tru64 4.0F

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P2)

Description

[jim_nance]

I am trying to build the 0.8.1 release under Tru64.  I am running into several
problems with NSPR:

1) In the directory nsprpub/pr/src the file prversion.c does
   not compile because the script that generates the macro
   _BUILD_TIME does not work right

2) in the directory nsprpub/pr/src we seem to be using the
   wrong command to build libnspr4.so:

/bin/ld  -o libnspr4.so ./prvrsion.o io/./prfdcach.o io/./prmwait.o
io/./prmapopt.o io/./priometh.o io/./pripv6.o io/./prlayer.o io/./prlog.o

md/unix/./uxwrap.o  -lpthread 
/bin/ld:
Can't locate file for: -lpthread

  Note that not only is -lpthread wrong, but this command will not generate a 
  shared lib in any case.

3) in pr/include/md/Makefile MDCPUCFG_H does not get defined and I cant
   not figure out why.  The OSF1 specific code looks OK.

Comment 1

Try a tip build.  0.8.1 doesn't have any of the nspr fixes that went in last week.

Comment 2

[jim_nance]

I just did a tip pull and tried to build.  At least problem #3 is still there:

../../../config/./nsinstall: cannot make symbolic link
/scratch/jlnance/build/dist/include/md: File exists

I tracked this down in the 0.8.1 build and its caused by MDCPUCFG_H not getting
defined.  Ill look more at this latter.  Im going to bed now.

Comment 3

What does ./nsprpub/build/autoconf/config.guess return ?  MDCPUCFG_H is set for
*-osf1*. 

Comment 4

[jim_nance]

bash-2.03$ ./mozilla/./nsprpub/build/autoconf/config.guess
alpha-dec-osf4.0f

That looks like it could be the problem.
