824757 - webrtc build fails on big endian machine (iBook G4)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 814693

(Core :: WebRTC, defect)

Description

[Steve Arnold]

Attachment: simple patch to add some ppc defines for webrtc

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1
Build ID: 20120909122853

Steps to reproduce:

Try to build Gentoo firefox-17.0.1.ebuild on iBook G4.


Actual results:

Webrtc code missing typedefs for PowerPC architecture.  Added simple patch to media/webrtc/trunk/src/typedefs.h and build fails when it can't find one of it's own header files due to a big endian ifdef (the header file is there but the include path is broken).

The failure occurs when compiling this file: media/webrtc/trunk/src/modules/audio_coding/codecs/pcm16b/pcm16b.c

and the include file it's looking for is in: media/webrtc/trunk/src/common_audio/signal_processing/include/

which is only included if WEBRTC_BIG_ENDIAN is defined (but the above include path is missing from the compile args).


Expected results:

It should (hopefully) build on a big endian machine.  Typedefs.h should include the appropriate #defines for ARM, PPC, and MIPS.

Pretty sure it's already fixed in mozilla-central - i cant confirm since webrtc is disabled on BSD.
