I started updating the patch from comment #13 to hg tip, but so far on sparc64 it fails with :
js/src/jscntxt.cpp: In member function 'void js::ThreadData::sizeOfExcludingThis(size_t (*)(const void*, size_t), size_t*, size_t*, size_t*, size_t*)': js/src/jscntxt.cpp:163: error: invalid use of incomplete type 'struct JSC::ExecutableAllocator' js/src/jsprvtd.h:335: error: forward declaration of 'struct JSC::ExecutableAllocator' js/src/jscntxt.h: In member function 'void JSRuntime::delete_(T*) [with T = JSC::ExecutableAllocator]': js/src/jscntxt.cpp:125: instantiated from here js/src/jscntxt.h:712: error: invalid use of incomplete type 'struct JSC::ExecutableAllocator' js/src/jsprvtd.h:335: error: forward declaration of 'struct JSC::ExecutableAllocator' js/src/jscntxt.h: In member function 'T* JSRuntime::new_() [with T = JSC::ExecutableAllocator]': js/src/jscntxt.cpp:201: instantiated from here js/src/jscntxt.h:711: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'JSC::ExecutableAllocator' js/src/jscntxt.h:711: error: invalid use of incomplete type 'struct JSC::ExecutableAllocator' js/src/jsprvtd.h:335: error: forward declaration of 'struct JSC::ExecutableAllocator' Of course, it makes sense to me, since JSC::ExecutableAllocator is defined only if ENABLE_ASSEMBLER is set, and the chunk in js/src/Makefile.in makes it unset if ENABLE_YARR_JIT is not set. I'm now trying with that chunk out on sparc64 and will try various hacks. if i get something that builds i'll post the patch for actual testing on ppc. I really wonder how m-c builds on ppc right now, what changed recently in that regard, and how TenFourFox does to build.... Another annoyance was the landing of bug #673188, which right now #errors out if ENABLE_YARR_JIT is unset (see RegExpObject.cpp, function checkSyntax()), pretty unfriendly. So far i've replaced it by a return true, but it's of course ugly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908508 Title: Firefox/Thunderbird 10 FTBFS on powerpc in js/src/yarr/pcre Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: In Progress Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Debian has the fix, so I'll add it to the branch and it should work with the next upload.
