chat in #build of mozilla's irc

15:55   ponce   hi fellas, sorry for bothering
16:00	ponce	I was trying to build latest 48.0b1 with this .mozconfig
                http://pastebin.com/TvsGuqKh but a "make -f client.mk build" (I'm using
                slackware64-current build script) results in this http://pastebin.com/pfzC0XqD
                (if you need more info just ask)
16:08	froydnj	ponce: remove the --libdir option
16:11	ponce	if I remove that it breaks on --enable-crypto
                http://pastebin.com/GfnC80Gt it's just a matter that some configure options
                have been deprecated?
16:16	froydnj	ponce: yes
16:16	froydnj	well, removed entirely rather than deprecated
16:16	froydnj	presumably because they didn't do anything before
16:17	ted	    before our configure script would accept any options, even
                invalid ones
16:17	ted	    now it is stricter
16:19	ponce	ok, thanks people for the clarification  . I was misleaded as
                it seemed --libdir was still present in a lot of files but it's probably
                something that will be cleaned up in the future.
16:19	ponce	I'll try simply removing whatever breaks the build
16:20	ted	    in general, you are better off making your mozconfig as small
                as possible
16:20	ted	    ideally empty
[...]
19:01   ponce   sorry guys, I come back with another question following the previous (stricter
                mozconfig options): I've tried building 48.0b1 with the options that seem
                still supported but stuff seems to get installed in a little bit scattered
                way, see http://pastebin.com/zVv7VnT9
19:02	ponce	there you can see the differences in mozconfigs and in the
                resulting file hierarchy after "make -f client.mk install DESTDIR=$PKG"
19:03	ponce	maybe I'm missing something obvious...
19:11	ted	    i don't think `make install` is super well-maintained
19:11	ted	    we certainly don't use it for anything
19:11	ted	    we just use `make package` and ship the result
19:11	ponce	ah, that's new to me, I'll check it
19:12	ted	    feel free to file a bug, but you might have to fix it yourself
                if you want it to work
19:12	ponce	no prob for me to use 'make package', I'll check the syntax
19:15	ted	    okay
19:15	ted	    it just spits out a tarball in $objdjir/dist
19:15	ted	    should match what we ship
19:17	ponce	the slackware package is not much different, I suppose it's
                fine to package what's in $objdjir/dist
19:18	ponce	if I will be able to I'll try also to patch the make install
                but I don't promise anything
19:18	ted	    honestly we should just make `make install` run the packager
                code but copy the files to $prefix instead of making a tarball
19:23	ponce	that would probably be simpler and will require less
                maintenance in perspective
