83997 - Scope warning in tinderbox2 code

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Tinderbox2, defect)

Description

[timeless]

"my" variable $status masks earlier declaration in same scope at 
/home/timeless/mozilla/webtools/tinderbox2/build/clientbin/binary_runs line 44.

Linux linux 2.2.18-4hpmac #1 Thu Dec 21 15:16:15 MST 2000 ppc unknown
i checked out tinderbox2 and ran ./configure && make

The code clearly needs scoping or less my ($status)

I've setup a tinderbox for this =) it's Polynices Tinderbox2 (unfortunately I 
didn't research it well so you might see Laertes Tinderbox or Laertes 
Tinderbox2, these are not to be too confused w/ Oedipus Tinderbox)

I'm trying to assign to [e-mail] but that user doesn't exist, so 
i picked the closest match. If you are not the right person please respond ASAP 
-- more bugs coming.

I did not know about this bug till recently. 

I have not used this file, I wrote it with the intention that this 
would make it easier to write netscape/mozilla makefiles which do something
similar.

I checked in a fix.  I do not have good data to test this with.I will
work with you to debug it if you like.

someday i'll try to regenerate the tinderbox system i had. basically it's the 
same system bugzilla is using for its tinderboxes, it tries to compile all the 
files it finds -cwt or something, warnings make the tinder yellow, errors red.

i'll verify this as soon as i get up to speed (please allow 2-3 weeks, i'm 
busy, but i will try to be a good qa)
