770625 - Use the same compiler as normal linux desktop builds for linux b2g desktop builds

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

We hit a compile failure in these builds when we turned them on in production. That's been filed as bug 770624. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, but we may want to just switch these builds to our own gcc 4.5 compiler to maintain consistency.

We're getting past the compilation failure now, so this is low priority.

Comment 2

This is now blocking bug 894242 because gcc 4.4 on desktop linux doesn't support C++11 properly.

Ideally, we should just use the same base environment as desktop linux builds. That however requires more energy than i'm ready to put here. I hate these buildbot config files.

Let's make it 4.7.
