87213 - Finish Linux static build packaging

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Cathleen]

need to make xpinstall build as a seperate component in STATIC build.
We think we can do this with:
  1) setting meta component flag in xpinstall makefile
  2) --enable-meta-components={mail,crypto},xpinstall

That's one way to do it but is a meta component what you really want here?  In
the meeting, it sounded as though you just wanted xpinstall to be dynamic all of
the time.  That can be done w/o setting up another meta-component, which is
really overkill for a collection of one.  Although, on the otherhand, we're
really starting to tread down the slippery slope of non-static components in our
static build.
