the policy of relegating pyxpcom to "third party status" within the mozilla codebase has resulted in these kinds of things, below.
you will recognise this as the consequences of a decision some time in the past few weeks (which i wasn't party to, because i am an "outsider" having no funds or time to pay 24x7 attention to each and every decision made by the people who _are_ funded by the mozilla foundation) basically that decision looks like it involved deliberate splitting of the header files into "public api" and "not public api". so, this header file nsIProxyObjectManager.h is treated as "internal api"... ... but somebody forgot that pyxpcom needs it... because they have relegated pyxpcom to "third party status". they forgot that pyxpcom *needs* to be built as an "internal" component, yet the mozilla foundation has completely failed to provide a system for building such components, yet at the same time has basically dumped the responsibility onto other people. if however pyxpcom was actually part of mozilla-central, then not only would this problem simply not be present but also it would be a damn sight easier to find issues. temporarily i am forced to manually seek out, copy and make available this "nsIProxyObjectManager.h" file each and every damn time i do a rebuild and reinstall of a particular version of the xulrunner runtime. that's incredibly tiresome and it's part of the *additional* burden that the mozilla foundation's decisions are placing onto external developers. ... developers that are *not* funded by the mozilla foundation, it's worth once again pointing out. right now i cannot agree more that the OLPC team made the right decision to remove all mozilla-foundation-funded technology from their machines. l. c++ -o _xpcom.o -c -I../../../dist/system_wrappers -include ../../../../config/gcc_hidden.h -DOSTYPE=\"Linux2.6\" -DOSARCH=Linux -DMOZ_NO_MOZALLOC -I/usr/include/python2.7 -I../../../../xpcom/src/module -I. -I../../../dist/include -I../../../dist/include/nsprpub -I/usr/local/lib/xulrunner-devel-13.0a1/include -I/usr/local/lib/xulrunner-devel-13.0a1/include/nsprpub -I/usr/include/nspr -fPIC -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsynth -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wcast-align -Wno-invalid-offsetof -Wno-long-long -pedantic -DXULRUNNER_13_0A1 -std=gnu++0x -fshort-wchar -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -std=gnu++0x -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -Os -freorder-blocks -fno-reorder-functions -DMOZILLA_CLIENT -include /usr/local/lib/xulrunner-devel-13.0a1/include/mozilla-config.h -Wp,-MD,.deps/_xpcom.pp ../../../../xpcom/src/module/_xpcom.cpp ../../../../xpcom/src/module/_xpcom.cpp:68:35: fatal error: nsIProxyObjectManager.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. _______________________________________________ dev-embedding mailing list dev-embedding@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-embedding
