* We must use the full path to the source file when calling MSVC so that debugging information shows up in the object files.
* Because of cygwin's use of /cygdrive when using full paths, we must use a cygwin-wrapper script in some cases to allow native win32 programs to use a fully qualified cygwin path.
* We have to call configure using the full path so that $(srcdir) contains the
full path in the Makefiles. The rules have been changed for win32 so that it
always use $(srcdir)/$*.{c,cpp} as the sourcefile name even when the file is in
the cwd. This works around both the /cygdrive issue and the msvc's path info
optimization.
* We still use the wrapper when calling rc.exe & nsinstall. nsinstall
frequently takes multiple args and is called all over the tree so changing each
calling site is going to be expensive. (I'll have to check the logs again but
I think the rc wrapping can go.)
* nspr & ldap still use the wrappers for all native win32 progs. Neither nspr
nor ldap uses the acoutput-fast.pl script to speed up the substitution of
@srcdir@ into their Makefiles so, makefile substitution will break if we use
dos-paths.
* In the handful of directories where we copy srcfiles from another directory
in lieu of using VPATHs, we have to now copy those files to $(srcdir) so that
the default rules can find them.
Bug #141834 r=leaf,wtc,dmose,mcs
Changes:
* Added EXTRA_COMPONENTS variable to build. Use it to automagically install files into the components dir.
* Added SYSINSTALL variable. Use it install files onto the system.
* Move mozilla-config generation from configure to makefiles
* mozilla-config will now generate paths based upon the MRE-based directory layout.
* Generate mozilla script from template
The installation heirarchy currently looks like:
$prefix -> /bin/mozilla
/bin/mozilla-config
/include/mozilla-ver/*
/lib/mozilla-ver (mozappdir)
/components
/res
/defaults
/chrome
There is preliminary build support for MRE dirs as well though the component manager hasn't had MRE support added yet.
$prefix -> /lib/mre/mre-ver (mredir)
/components
* Adds Makefile.ins to win32 specific dirs
* Adds WINNT ifdefs to Makefile.ins
* Causes NSPR to be compiled with --with-mozilla
* Misc general Makefile.in cleanup
