Per suggestion from Beard: Building the js ref threadsafe currently requires installing NSPR in a specific location; it'd be nice if it could just pick up NSPR from the mozilla build. i.e. ../../dist rather than ../../dist/SomeOS_DBG.OBJ The attached patch looks for jslock.h in ../../dist/SomeOS_DBG.OBJ before defaulting to ../../dist; it also moves some shared bits between Makefile.ref and liveconnect/Makefile.ref to jsconfig.mk.

Not technically mozilla-tree, but I think it still deserves a look. r=?

Would you regenerate this patch using cvs diff -u from the mozilla directory? I'm having trouble applying it otherwise. I always have trouble applying multiple directory patches.

Ahh, got the patch to work on the Mac, never mind.

Reassigning Mike's JS Engine bugs to Patrick, as per recent meeting -

Marking future, hoping mang will review.

I'm rather swamped at the moment, but will have a look Real Soon Now.

The following post appears to have a solution this issue, though perhaps not as elegant as the attachment: http://groups.google.ca/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF- 8&selm=7be32359.0403171719.2ef8666%40posting.google.com

Depends on bug 97954? This could be a --with-nspr= option to configure if we had autoconf

This should be part of the autoconf effort, if it hasn't been handled there already. jimb: can you own?

Sure. The patches for 97954 already implement this: you pass --with-system-nspr (boolean), and --with-nspr-prefix=PATH. It tries to run PATH/bin/nspr-config.

It's not a duplicate, as abstractly either could be fixed without the other. Just depends-on is appropriate, and when the new SM build lands Jim can close two bugs (he certainly earned it). ;-)
