We had to switch back to the original build system for the time being. There turned out to be soooooo many things to do (Mozilla is a giant monster source wise) that we postponed the task of porting the build system to kBuild and directed our (limited) resources to porting Mozilla itself (and went pretty far on that way — FF17 now runs on OS/2 and even out-of-process Flash works). So I would like to ask you to preserve OS/2 in configure and makefiles for now. -- keep cool, dmik _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
