Bug 312777 – net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.2-r4 fails to build libpr0n with shell error

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Fabian Groffen 2010-04-02 11:08:49 UTC]

Just a heads up in case you encounter it in some way too.

build dies with something like
/bin/sh -c: Syntax error on line 3: end of file
in modules/libpr0n/build

Same issue as in URL (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1714605), although I'm using Gentoo's bash, and not dash.  The original reporter also says with bash the same problem occurs.  I didn't dive into the details (whether it is a bash version problem), but the fix mentioned in the URL works for me, and the patch can be found in the Prefix overlay:

Grobian is the patch still needed?

Did not mean to close yet.

I think we can scratch this bug until it occurs again.  Currently xulrunner doesn't compile at all on Solaris, seems jemalloc patch vanished.
