Building for Android

Unread post by Andrew Gilbertson » 2017-02-28, 00:46

I decided that I wanted to take a look at the code for Pale Moon for Android to see if I can help in reviving that particular branch of the project. I've worked with Android before, although it's been a couple of years at this point; and I'm familiar with Pale Moon as a user, but not from a development standpoint (so let's get to work on changing that, since the project needs more devs).

I cloned the Android branch of the Pale-Moon repo on Github and have been working on getting it to build. After installing a number of needed -devel packages on my Linux, I finally got to the point where "./mach build" found everything that it think it needs, checked for beer in the fridge, and began compiling. All went well for a few minutes, then I got a series of messages all similar to this:

 4:46.93 ../../dist/include/mozilla/Util.h: In member function ‘void mozilla::Maybe<T>::construct()’:
 4:46.93 ../../dist/include/mozilla/Util.h:166:30: error: there are no arguments to ‘MOZ_ASSERT’ that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of ‘MOZ_ASSERT’ must be available [-fpermissive]
 4:46.93        MOZ_ASSERT(!constructed);
 4:46.93                               ^
 4:46.93 ../../dist/include/mozilla/Util.h:166:30: note: (if you use ‘-fpermissive’, G++ will accept your code, but allowing the use of an undeclared name is deprecated)
If I add -fpermissive to ./browser/config/mozconfig, the error changes to:

Code: Select all

 4:49.70 ../../dist/include/mozilla/Util.h: In member function ‘void mozilla::Maybe<T>::construct()’:
 4:49.70 ../../dist/include/mozilla/Util.h:166:30: error: there are no arguments to ‘MOZ_ASSERT’ that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of ‘MOZ_ASSERT’ must be available [-fpermissive]

 4:49.70 ../../dist/include/mozilla/Util.h:166:30: note: (if you use ‘-fpermissive’, G++ will accept your code, but allowing the use of an undeclared name is deprecated)
And again, there are quite a few of them.

So, a few questions:
Is this expected when building the Android branch?
Should I be using the -fpermissive flag?
If so, where do I put it?

I've put more complete output from the first pass inside a hide tag below, in case it's useful.
