924964 - IPDL Test build breakage, SandboxValidationError

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 930350

(Firefox Build System :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Georg Fritzsche [:gfritzsche]]

I ran into this due to additional .cpp files that were not listed in CPP_SOURCES:

... this could be much more helpful by listing the offending files.

Sorry, scratch that. I'm not entirely sure what the actual issue is. Looking at where the error is thrown it apparently does print helpful information - as long as it's not some $VARIABLE.

Also, this is with "ac_add_options --enable-ipdl-tests".

Same issue on Windows and latest m-c.
Gregory, it looks like this was just missed when transitioning between build-files - do you know what this *should* be?

Comment 4

[Gregory Szorc [:gps]]

We now require every entry in CPP_SOURCES in the moz.build files to be a file in the source directory. ipc/ipdl/test/cxx/moz.build contains $(IPDLTESTSRCS), which isn't a file.

Simply add the following to ipc/ipdl/test/cxx/Makefile.in:

CPPSRCS += $(IPDLTESTSRCS)

and remove the offending line from the moz.build and you should be set.
