Re: pkg/45193: firefox build error - stl wrappers can't find throw_gcc.h

[Alex Hornung <ahornung%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi Tobias,

thanks for your help. On DragonFly the gcc bugs are not present:

checking For gcc visibility bug with class-level attributes (GCC bug
26905)... no
checking For x86_64 gcc visibility bug with builtins (GCC bug 20297)... no

The issue seems to be that:
1) the memory/mozalloc/Makefile is never generated
2) the memory/mozalloc/Makefile, even after adding it to
allmakefiles.sh, still needs to be built before anything else, so some
manual reordering in build/Makefile is needed (or Makefile.in), which
is not nice.

Have you tried compiling firefox without jemalloc? I'd assume you'd
hit at least some of the problems that I've found.

Not sure what to do with all of this; it seems to build with those
manual modifications, but I might well be missing something. Otherwise
it'd mean that mozilla doesn't even check firefox builds without
jemalloc/with mozalloc.

Cheers,
Alex
