Compling distribution tarball?

[avleen]

Once upon a time (well, about a month ago), I compiled Firebird/Phoenix in such a way that instead of getting a directory structure under the source tree like:
mozilla/
mozilla/dist
mozilla/dist/bin
mozilla/dist/bin/MozillaFirebird -> ../../browser/app/MozillaFirebird (Symlink)

I ended up with:
mozilla/
mozilla/dist/
mozilla/dist/MozillaFirebird (binary)

But for the life of my I can't remember how. Does anyone know?
I much prefer that layout for some reason

Once upon a time (well, about a month ago), I compiled Firebird/Phoenix in such a way that instead of getting a directory structure under the source tree like:
mozilla/
mozilla/dist
mozilla/dist/bin
mozilla/dist/bin/MozillaFirebird -> ../../browser/app/MozillaFirebird (Symlink)

This what the initial compile creates.

I ended up with:
mozilla/
mozilla/dist/
mozilla/dist/MozillaFirebird (binary)

This is the result of a post-compile packaging [from the 'mozilla' directory]:

Code: Select all

 cd xpinstall/packager
 make MOZ_PKG_APPNAME=MozillaFirebird MOZILLA_BIN="\$(DIST)/bin/MozillaFirebird-bin"

That's 2 lines, btw.

But for the life of my I can't remember how. Does anyone know?
I much prefer that layout for some reason

Not surprisingly, as everything is actually in that dir rather than being a web of symlinks
