Problem with OBJDIR building

[jayfromtaiwan]

I tried to build OBJDIR builds and everytime i get this (or similar, "no rule to make") error:

Code: Select all

set DOS_OBJDIR=c:\mozilla\mozilla\Obj

Any ideas?

You don't actually need the DOS_OBJDIR variable - it's just something I use in my script later

Does setting MOZ_OBJDIR to /cygdrive/c/mozilla/mozilla/Obj work? (That should be the same as $(TOPSRCDIR)/Obj, if I'm reading your paths right)

Also, can you provide the first few lines (especially the line about VPATH) in c:\mozilla\mozilla\Obj\xpcom\Makefile? And if it exists, the same in ...\mozilla\Obj\xpcom\MoreFiles\Makefile?

(Also try setting the MOZCONFIG environment variable... "SET MOZCONFIG=C:\mozilla\mozilla\.mozconfig" should do)

configure should have ran at the beginning of your compile, creating all the makefiles...

C:\mozilla\mozilla\Obj\xpcom\makefile

Code: Select all

VPATH      = /cygdrive/c/mozilla/mozilla/xpcom

C:\mozilla\mozilla\Obj\xpcom\Morefiles\makefile

Code: Select all

VPATH      = c:/mozilla/mozilla/xpcom/Morefiles/makefile

I think i just found the problem ..... it's weird that this happened @@

[nrthomas]

Maybe that's do to with the / instead of \ in the set for MOZ_OBJDIR in mozset.bat.

[jayfromtaiwan]

yeah i tried that ... lol it took me a while to realize that unix doesn't like \'s
still has to edit the files before the building process can continue .... is there a patch or workaround??

[nrthomas]

Not sure exactly what you mean. My guess is that make doesn't like references like c:/ in the cygwin environment. So my suggestion is: zap existing makefiles by deleting the contents of the OBJDIR, fix mozset.bat, rerun mozset to make changes live, rebuild.

If that still doesn't work, then try moving the OBJDIR out of the mozilla source, to something like c:\mozilla\obj. That works for me.

It may also be related to your setting of HOME. The win32 build page <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/build/win32.html">says</a>:

3. Common Problems and Hints
* Make sure your source tree isn't under /home; paths that start with /cygdrive are handled better.

[jayfromtaiwan]

this happens wherever i put the OBJDIR, weird@@
