Hi,
I can not build firefox3 (3.0.13 and up) under FreeBSD -CURRENT. As far
as I tracked down it is an issue in the firefox sources itself.
The last working build I had was 3.0.10.
Here in this area it breaks:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.9.1/diff?file=/security/nss/lib/freebl/Makefile&diffvar=mozilla1.8.0
The below snippet does somehow not work.
-----
# some code wants _X86_ defined for intel CPUs.
# coreconf does this for windows, but not for Linux, FreeBSD, etc.
ifeq (,$(filter-out x86 x86_64,$(CPU_ARCH)))
ifneq (,$(filter-out WIN%,$(OS_TARGET)))
DEFINES += -D_X86_
endif
endif
-----
On powerpc I get the -D_X86_ passed to the compile options, very bad.
But I do not understand why. Might be that the first filter-out does not
work as expected?
I compared with an x86 build and with an x86_64 build. On the x86 it
works as expected. But also under der x86_64 it does not do what I
expect. Under x86_64 I'd expect the -D_X86_ in the compile options, right?
Could you please enlight me here?
If you need further information I'm happy to provide it.
TIA,
Andreas
