Hi... With all the things which have successfully managed to be ported recently ... I noticed that most of the pre-requisits for mozilla had been done (libIDL compiled out of the box- I think... no testsuite to check if its working), so I gave it a go at atempting to compile (I just do this sort of thing to waste time) - it configured, then failed to compile the first file - not with a compile error - but syntax error for the gcc command line. The problem is this - uname -r returns a string which has round brackets in it - which mozilla compile tries to pass as a define, to be exact it passes -DOSTYPE=\"CYGWIN_NT-5.01.3.3(0.46/3/2)\" for my machine. This causes gcc to complain. Now I could probably patch this or something ... but before I tried that I was wondering if this was something which mozilla shouldnt be relying on - or if gcc or the uname report were non standard.
