Description (last modified by aeichner)

Hi!

I'm working on a port of VirtualBox to GNU/kFreeBSD. Since there's a large patchset, and not all of it is ready to be submitted, I'll file separate bug reports for each problem.

First issue is that VirtualBox embeds old versions of NRPR and XPCOM. The upstream version of these libraries is already ported to support GNU/kFreeBSD. Please could you update to the latest version in VirtualBox source tree?

Sorry, but that's quite impossible because we did various local fixes and small enhancements to these libraries.

Ok. In that case please consider this patch. It's roughly based in the patch that was merged in NSPR.

Please remember to regenerate configure afterwards.

And xpcom.diff, extracted from Mozilla BTS (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=308126&action=diff)

How useful is merging the configure diff? We don't use configure during the build process.

comment:5 by Robert Millan, 13 years ago

Ah, I see. I wasn't sure if it was used or not, so I thought better be safe than sorry ;-)

If it's not used, feel free to discard it from my patch. TIA.

xpcom.diff is just two-line diff and is not significant with regard to copyright law.
