There's no need to add --enable-crypto, it is built by default with the code. So, it looks like it is a dynamic building problem, because when you're using static build options, there is no problem at all. Tweaking summary in order to help bug triaging.

I've finally managed to fix this by adding ac_add_options --with-macos-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.2.8.sdk to the mozconfig file.

This is odd. I updated my trunk tree by date as far back as Dec 25, 2005 & I still hit this problem. I grabbed the source tarballs for ff-1.5 & ff-1.0.7 and I'm hitting this problem there as well. I'm using OSX 10.3.9 too. Is it possible that we received a system update that is screwing up our builds? Note that my trunk OSX-X11 build went fine (crashes on startup though).

Reopening for investigation

I notice that everyone is using the 10.3.9 SDK or is building on Panther without specifying a separate SDK, and are getting the default system SDK (10.3.9). This SDK contains a number of bugs and while I try to keep the build working with it, it's not really recommended. This is one reason the official tinderbuilders, which are almost all running Panther, still use the 10.2.8 SDK. I don't have easy access to a Panther machine now, the best I can do today is a test build on Tiger with 3.3 and the 10.3.9 SDK. I'm trying this now. I can look at it on a native Panther tomorrow.

Not seeing this in a 3.3/10.3.9 SDK build from Tiger. Can someone on Panther check to see if any of the dylibs libwidget_mac is including is linking against libstdc++.6.dylib? You can use "otool -L" on these dylibs to find out. If you get any hits, let's have a look at how those dylibs themselves are being linked.

Ok, I'll accept that. However, this problem hasn't been occuring since last April(?) when 10.3.9 came out so the flaky SDK can't be completely to blame. It just started recently. After digging around, it looks like one of the QuickTime updates may be ultimately to blame. [soundwave:moz/other/obj-opt-ff] cls% otool -L /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/A/QuickTime | grep stdc /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.4.0) See also: http://www.macfixitforums.com/php/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=xutilities&Number=740124 I'll try downgrading QuickTime when I get home to see if that fixes the problem.

Hmm. I bet the QuickTime library in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk isn't linked against the dynamic libstdc++. Does the problem go away (or change) if you use that SDK instead of relying on the upgraded QuickTime library in /System?

FYI. In build of Camino, this problem doesn't occur. Camino is normally made with build of a dynamic link.

I don't seem to have a 10.3.9 sdk directory but building against the 10.3.0 sdk works. The build completes and launches fine. Camino works because the camino mozconfig is telling it to use the 10.2.8 sdk. Should we start defaulting to building against a specific sdk (10.2 or 10.3, I don't care) to avoid these /System library changes (which shouldn't happen anyway)?

Confirming QuickTime 7.0.3 on Panther isn't linked against libstdc++.6.dylib.

Documented: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mac_OS_X_Build_Prerequisites#Troubleshooting I'm leaving this bug open for the time being as a reminder to myself to follow up with Apple. Other than that, it's probably invalid for our purposes, since it's not our bug and we've got a workaround. Thanks for your help, Chris. crot0 and Frederic, can you confirm?

Well, I am under Tiger 10.4.4 + QT 7.0.4, using XCode 2.2.1 (every single SDK installed) and SDK 10.4u I will try using SDK 10.3.9 and making a dynamic build if you want ;)

Build of Thunderbird was completed by 10.2.8SDK + dynamic link.

After adding a --with-macos-sdk to my .mozconfig and try to build using make -f client.mk build_all_depend, it gets as far as: checking for ANSI C header files... and then does not progress any further (left it over 8 hours) My .mozconfig is: # optimized mozconfig file for SeaMonkey on OSX CC=gcc CXX=g++ CPP=cpp AS=as LD=ld # the following options don't yet work under gcc-on-win32 ac_add_options --disable-accessibility ac_add_options --disable-activex mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=suite ac_add_options --enable-application=suite mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/suite-opt ac_add_options --enable-optimize=-O2 ac_add_options --with-macos-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.2.8.sdk ac_add_options --enable-crypto ac_add_options --enable-svg ac_add_options --enable-canvas

(In reply to comment #21) > CPP=cpp Don't set CPP unless you have a good reason to, and even then, don't set it to cpp, base your setting on "gcc -E". In fact, you don't need to set any of the tool variables at all for the build you're trying to do.

This is an Apple bug. rdar://4452199 . Resolving as INVALID because there's nothing we can do about it. Our workaround is to use an SDK (10.2.8 recommended, 10.3.0 will work) when building on 10.3.

Known issue.
