fennec build problem

fennec build problem

[Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli]

Hi,
I never succeeded to build Fennec because I never had the time and the
will to fix it (the Mozilla build system seem complicated...), but
dcordes_ on #oe On Freenode on irc really wanted  fennec.
So I decided to give a try because it didn't compile for him for another
reason.

Here is the build error:
| make[5]: *** No rule to make target `-lgconf-2', needed by
`libmozgnome.so'.  Stop.
| make[5]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
[...]

here's a grep for -lgconf-2:

Note that it need a modified autoconf.inc, that I will send for
review(as it's core).

Re: fennec build problem

[Jan Paesmans]

As far as I know, it seems like a missing dependency, gconf2 is provided
by the gconf recipe but I didn't find any immediate dependencies on
gconf. Or maybe there is something wrong in the configuration step for
fennec that should disable the use of gconf.
Looking at the rest of the libraries used, there might the more missing
dependencies or missing disables in the configuration step of fennec.

Hope this helps,

Jan

Thinking back to
679a2367acde02f76f43f446c56c1eefed4e69c0 last year, I would be 
unsurprised if there weren't more implicit deps in both firefox and fennec.

Most of these should be pretty easily mappable to recipes and made sure 
we have explicit deps for them.

After building some implicit dependencies manually, I am stuck with the
following error. Not sure if I got past the stuff that fails for Denis
above yet.
Differences might occur due to me using the autoconf213 supplied by my
host distro, and not autoconf213-native from OE as that is broken.

| make[5]: *** No rule to make target `-lnotify', needed by
`libmozgnome.so'.  Stop.


Problem: I built recipes/libnotify/libnotify_0.4.5.bb before.


Before investigating further, would it make sense to bump the SRCREV
like in following commit ?
