91842 - Mozilla startup scripts miss support for 64bit sparcv9 applications

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Roland Mainz]

Mozilla's startup scripts (like run-mozilla.sh) miss support for 64bit sparcv9
applications (see bug 20860 for build instructions to build a real 64bit Zilla
on Solaris).

I always have to type
% cd dist/bin/
% export LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64=$PWD:$PWD/components
% ./mozilla

to start the Zilla... ;-((

Background:
Solaris >= 2.7 is a mixed 32bit/64bit environment which can run both 32bit and
64bit applications at the same time. 32bit and 64bit binaries cannot me mixed in
one binary/shared_lib, therefore they are seperated. For example, 32bit
shared_libs are stored in /usr/lib/, 64bit counterparts are stored in
/usr/lib/sparcv9/. The runtime linker has a 2nd set of env vars to manage these
64bit libraries - they usually have the suffix "_64" at the end, e.g.
"LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64" etc. See ld.so.1(1) for additional info.

I don't think that path should be set unconditionally.  Follow the N32 example
and only set it if it's already set.
