Okay. I apologize if this comes up all the time, or this is the
inappropriate place to pose this question, but I believe I'm in the
correct place. (If not, is there a group FAQ or more recent
information that is available on the nglayout site at mozilla.org?)
So anyways, I'm having difficulty building Gecko on Win32 platforms.
It appears to me to be a makefile problem, ie the include directories
are not being set up properly in the build_dist and build_layout
portions of the makefile.
Here's what I do, and here's what happens:
cvs checkout mozilla/client.mak
cvs checkout mozilla/nglayout.mak
Attempting to check out this file tells me that its no longer
pertinent. Reviewing the history on the file tells me to get the
client.mak file and then run nmake from the mozilla directory with the
following:
nmake -f client.mak pull_layout build_dist build_layout
I actually pull the files as a seperate step and archive them, so that
I can try and hand crank these if the need arises...
So I pull everything from the repository and run the build with
nmake -f client.mak build_dist build_layout
If I do this, everything putts along, creating directories and copying
.h files, until I get to the first .c file that is actually to be
compiled, at which point it tells me that prttypes.h does not exist
(although it does, but obviously not in a directory that the .c file
is aware of, thus why I believe this is a makefile problem.)
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a known fix or workaround?
Building the entire app works fine, albeit it takes a good while, but
everything builds and Mozilla runs as expected...
Again, apologies if this is a question answered in the FAQ. (If it is,
please point me in that direction, I couldn't find one referenced from
here...)
