Can this be solved without migrating c-c into m-c? Would it be possible to create a thunderbird build system which simply takes the output of a firefox build and grabs the files that it needs, and builds the additions that thunderbird needs. Generally speaking, libraries don't worry about having a build system which enables building all downstream products. It's the responsibility of downstream products to trigger the build system of libraries. The goal of putting seamonkey and thunderbird in separate trees has always been to make firefox development easier, not harder. That should include the build system. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
