I tried to compile NSPR on an old linux box with egcs 1.1.1. I could not compile the pthreads verison as this box does not have the pthreads libs so I tried without pthreads and I got this compiler error. This is the NSPR code from the CVS as of March 4th 1999. % make NS_USE_GCC=1 NO_MDUPDATE=1 USE_PTHREADS=0 DIST=${HOME}/neon/mozilla/install_nspr_linux NSDISTMODE=copy export ... gcc -o Linux2.0.34_x86_PTH_DBG.OBJ/prlog.o -c -g -fPIC -ansi -Wall -pipe -DLINUX -Dlinux -mno-486 -Di386 -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -DHAVE_STRERROR -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -DFORCE_PR_LOG -DXP_UNIX -DDEBUG -UNDEBUG -DDEBUG_dejong -D_REENTRANT -I/home/grad09/dejong/neon/mozilla/install_nspr_linux/include/private -I/home/grad09/dejong/neon/mozilla/install_nspr_linux/include prlog.c prlog.c: In function `PR_LogPrint': prlog.c:420: warning: implicit declaration of function `_MD_CURRENT_THREAD' prlog.c:420: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast prlog.c:420: warning: implicit declaration of function `_MD_GET_INTSOFF' prlog.c:420: warning: implicit declaration of function `_MD_SET_INTSOFF' prlog.c:438: warning: comparison between pointer and integer prlog.c:438: warning: implicit declaration of function `_MD_CURRENT_CPU' prlog.c:438: invalid type argument of `->' prlog.c:438: warning: passing arg 1 of `_PR_IntsOn' makes pointer from integer without a cast prlog.c: In function `PR_LogFlush': prlog.c:447: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast prlog.c:452: warning: comparison between pointer and integer prlog.c:452: invalid type argument of `->' prlog.c:452: warning: passing arg 1 of `_PR_IntsOn' makes pointer from integer without a cast make[3]: *** [Linux2.0.34_x86_PTH_DBG.OBJ/prlog.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/project/neon/users/mo/mozilla/mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/io' make[2]: *** [export] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/project/neon/users/mo/mozilla/mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src' make[1]: *** [export] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/project/neon/users/mo/mozilla/mozilla/nsprpub/pr' make: *** [export] Error 2

Try 'USE_PTHREADS=' instead of 'USE_PTHREADS=0'.

I tried that with no luck. The same error is created.

OK. Try either "MOZILLA_CLIENT=1' or 'CLASSIC_NSPR=1'.

Accepted the bug. Did either 'CLASSIC_NSPR=1' or 'MOZILLA_CLIENT' make your compilation error go away?

Yes, adding CLASSIC_NSPR=1 fixed the compile problem.

I also verified that CLASSIC_NSPR=1 fixed the problem on a local machine. Closed the bug.

NSPR now has its own Bugzilla product. Moving this bug to the NSPR product.
