Comment on attachment 8729574 [details] MozReview Request: Bug 1255813 - Remove build system support for Solaris, HPUX and AIX https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/39515/#review36203 I'm not going to miss any of this junk. ::: build/autoconf/icu.m4:102 (Diff revision 1) > MOZ_ICU_DBG_SUFFIX= > if test -n "$MOZ_DEBUG" -a -z "$MOZ_NO_DEBUG_RTL"; then > MOZ_ICU_DBG_SUFFIX=d > fi > ;; > - Darwin|Linux|DragonFly|FreeBSD|NetBSD|OpenBSD|GNU/kFreeBSD|SunOS|Android) > + Darwin|Linux|DragonFly|FreeBSD|NetBSD|OpenBSD|GNU/kFreeBSD|Android) Can you leave this hunk out just to avoid the conflict with my in-flight ICU patches? Most of this file is going away with them anyway. ::: old-configure.in (Diff revision 1) > if test "$LIBRUNPATH"; then > DSO_LDOPTS="-R$LIBRUNPATH $DSO_LDOPTS" > fi > ;; > > -*-solaris*) I can't say I care *too* much here, but it feels like we could support the Solaris-with-GCC case without too much effort, as most of the junk you're removing is SUNpro support. Then again, maybe it'd be easier to just add it back in when everything else is in configure.py.

Martin, would this affect Solaris-like support in PkgSrc? Which compiler it's using by default?

Just encountered that Solaris support was removed from Mozilla about year ago. This is ... so sudden and grievous. How and why did this happen ? Was there any public discussion ?

(In reply to Mike Hommey [:glandium] from comment #8) > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.platform/9EI8D2jNiEs/Jr0pi4DgBgAJ Solaris has gone with autoconf. Point taken. I looked further into the mozilla.dev.platform to clarify how the autoconf was decommissioned, but no luck. Was there any public discussion about autoconf decommissioning?

Yes, four or five years ago now. I don't have a link to a formal "we are getting rid of autoconf", but searching for terms like `moz.build` in mozilla.dev.platform may yield positive results.
