Description Wolfgang Rosenauer 2005-05-15 11:27:04 UTC

I just want to document the currently failing mozilla-nspr build here.
Please have a look at /work/built/info/failed/x86_64/mozilla-nspr

As all objects are built with -fPIC this can't be the reason. I suspect that it
is caused by toolchain issues. It works with toolchain on 9.3 and before.

this could be

Comment 2 Andreas Schwab 2005-05-17 08:13:13 UTC

So it's a gcc bug.

Comment 3 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2005-05-20 14:25:41 UTC

mozilla-nspr has been changed to workaround this bug but anyway it might be good
to have this fixed.

Comment 4 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2005-06-06 06:56:25 UTC

upcoming Firefox, Thunderbird, Xulrunner versions suffers the same problem :-(

workaround: turn off visibilty pragma in mozilla configure script

I'm attaching the workaround patch to get mozilla applications to build here, this is against mozilla.org's "1.8" branch and useable for all of firefox/thunderbird/seamonkey/...

Everyone actively working on this subject, forget this patch again, it just turns visibilty pragma off by force. The patch is just to help people compiling mozilla.org source on (open)SUSE 10.0

As a note, the Mozilla project plans to integrate a configure check to do that automatically when needed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307168

Comment 6 Michael Matz 2007-07-27 06:38:16 UTC

Fixed in later gcc versions, won't be fixed for 10.0.  Hmm, let's close it
as FIXED anyway.
