My .bashrc file defines an environment variable called PLATFORM (and it has defined it for many years now...). I use the same basic config files and scripts on various versions of six different OS's, and I use this variable to govern how various scripts behave on the different platforms. If I remove that one environment variable, mozilla will build for me under bash. The actual "freebsd port" files do not reference PLATFORM at all, so I seem to be tripping over something in mozilla itself. I did grep thru mozilla source files and found a number of files which use something called PLATFORM. Looking at the logfiles of the two compiles (working and non-working), it looks like some of these references will get the value mozilla builds, and other references get the value defined in my .bashrc. So, it looks like this is not something that needs to be fixed in the freebsd port. I probably should pursue this with the mozilla folks, but for the moment I think I'll just change the name of that variable in my .bashrc & related scripts. Maybe PLATFORM_asSetIn_bAshRc_for_GarancE_ScriPts -- that shouldn't conflict with anything! Apologies for dragging you along on my wild goose chase!
