• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michel Ganguin 2013-01-12 16:38:41 UTC]

Building firefox 18.0 without dbus flag fails in nswifimonitor

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. accept testing keyword for firefox-18.0
2. USE="-dbus" emerge firefox

Actual Results:  
it fails with the following error after libxul linking

../../netwerk/wifi/nsWifiMonitor.o: In function `nsWifiMonitor::Run()':
/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-18.0/work/mozilla-release/netwerk/wifi/nsWifiMonitor.cpp:149: undefined reference to `nsWifiMonitor::DoScan()'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: libxul.so: hidden symbol `_ZN13nsWifiMonitor6DoScanEv' isn't defined
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value



Expected Results:  
Just compile ;-)

/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-18.0/work/mozilla-release/netwerk/wifi/Makefile.in

firefox 17 included nsWifiScannerUnix.cpp if system is Linux, there is no such include in firefox 18 anymore. There is nsWifiScannerDBus.cpp include instead but obviously it needs dbus.

USE flags : alsa jit minimal system-sqlite wifi -bindist -custom-cflags -custom-optimization -dbus -debug -gstreamer -libnotify -pgo -selinux -startup-notification

it is related to the wifi use flag,

USE="-dbus -wifi" emerge firefox

works fine.
