Trouble building libxul

M

mahashakti89

Hi,

I am running FreeBSD 9.0, and have some trouble upgrading my installed ports. It fails on libxul which is needed by some other packages like yelp and other gnome-desktop dependant packages. I get following error message:
Code: 
nsStackWalk.cpp: In function 'nsresult NS_StackWalk(void (*)(void*, void*), PRUint32, void*)':
nsStackWalk.cpp:1544: error: '_Unwind_Backtrace' was not declared in this scope
gmake[4]: *** [nsStackWalk.o] Error 1
gmake[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/www/libxul/work/mozilla-1.9.2/xpcom/base'

gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/www/libxul/work/mozilla-1.9.2/xpcom'

gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/www/libxul/work/mozilla-1.9.2'
gmake: *** [default] Error 2

I searched on Google, on the forum, emptied /etc/make.conf, deinstalled firefox like said in /usr/ports/UPDATING but nothing works. Could need some tips.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes my ports are up to date. What I did: portsnap fetch && portsnap extract
Then: portmaster -a
But nothing seems to work.

Thanks

Hi,

I don't know exactly, but it appears to be something with GCC-specific features. I just commented out line 1544 for testing and the compilation ran just fine. My FreeBSD version on this machine is 8.2-RELEASE-p3.

Deinstalling firefox and seamonkey didn't work for me, too.

Thanks for your answer. In what file did you comment out line 1544? ??

Hi,

Disabling lines of code is not a defititive solution, of course. So I went to check how this piece of code is activated on those programs. Reading configure.in from firefox, there is a line to check the presence of unwind.h.

Code: 
if test -z "$SKIP_LIBRARY_CHECKS"; then
   MOZ_CHECK_HEADER(unwind.h, AC_CHECK_FUNCS(_Unwind_Backtrace))
fi

The package wich provides unwind.h is libunwind. It was installed on my system. So I tried to [CMD=""]pkg_deinstall libunwind[/CMD] (along with Blender, the only dependent package) and libxul compiled without any errors. Deinstalling libunwind makes the configure process ignore the piece of code which uses the _Unwind_Backtrace function. I'm trying to build Firefox right now, but certainly there is something going wrong when mixing libunwind and Firefox/Seamonkey/libxul.

This issue was already discussed on this forum.

So, try to deinstall libunwind to see what happens.

Regards.
 
Hi,

I made a [cmd=]make deinstall clean[/cmd] for libunwind, but it doesn't work:

Code:

Thanks.
 
Can you check the presence of the unwind.h on your include paths? Try to build libxul directly on ports folder. Follow those steps:

[CMD=""]find /usr/local/include -iname "unwind.h"[/CMD]
[CMD=""]pkg_deinstall libunwind[/CMD]
[CMD=""]cd /usr/ports/www/libxul[/CMD]
[CMD=""]make clean reinstall[/CMD]
 
Hi,

I tried [cmd=]find /usr/local/include -iname "unwind.h"[/cmd] with no result; libunwind was deinstalled, then I got the same result:

Disable code on nsStackWalk.cpp

Hi,

Well, this is really strange. Anyway, try to comment line 1544 from the file /usr/ports/www/libxul/work/mozilla-1.9.2/xpcom/base/nsStackWalk.cpp. Like this:

Code: 
     //_Unwind_Backtrace(unwind_callback, &info);

If it compiles without errors, try to rebuild Firefox. It may be helpful if you print the contents of your /etc/make.conf file, too.
 
It did the trick, commenting out the line did it.
Thanks for your help and your patience ....
As for /etc/make.conf it's empty. Absolutely nothing in it after reading a post on this forum, saying not to play with compilation options.

Thanks for the help and the answer ....
I tried it with firefox, but there was an error , I don't remember exactly which error. I use chrome or konqueror as webbrowser, so I didn't push it too far .

Libunwind already desinstalled but no effect

Hi,

To answer your question : yes, libunwind was already desinstalled. I tried it more time, cleaning again, doing :
Code: 
portmaster www/firefox
but I got the same error already mentioned above.

Thanks

Firefox installed for me

Strange. I just did
Code: 
root@kg-v2# pkg_deinstall -f libunwind-20110911
--->  Deinstalling 'libunwind-20110911'
pkg_delete: package 'libunwind-20110911' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled (but I'll delete it anyway):
blender-2.63a
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 995 packages found (-1 +0) (...) done]
Followed by
Code: 
root@kg-v2# portupgrade -R firefox

===>  Extracting for firefox-13.0.1,1
and that worked for me - now I have Firefox 13.
All this on

I finished off by installing libunwind again.
 
Trouble building libxul crashes

Hi
I have the same trouble that some of you have, libxul crashes when trying to update ports.

Code: 
gmake[4]: *** [nsHtml5ElementName.o] Error 1

I have the latest ports tree, did a
Code: 
portsnap fetch update
prior to a
Code: 
portmaster -a
.

I don't have libunwind installed at all;
Code: 
XFCE4-81# whereis libunwind
libunwind: /usr/ports/devel/libunwind

And uname -a looks like this;
FreeBSD XFCE4-81.psrnet 8.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE #0: Mon Apr 9 21:47:23 UTC 2012 root@almeida.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
