Sunbird 0.9 fails to build on Armel arch

Alexander anyway we can get this fix in? I have done it and it has been uploaded to PPA packages and updated bzr branch.

sorry forgot to add branch info and such

bzr branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~gnomefreak/sunbird/ubuntu-0.x

PPA: https://launchpad.net/~gnomefreak/+archive/ppa

Alexander anyway to get this in atleast karmic. not sure if this is important enough for jaunty.

sorry branch location fow Jaunty is
https://code.launchpad.net/~gnomefreak/sunbird/ubuntu-0.x.9.04

Working on branches but Jaunty and Karmic should be up soon

ok fixed Karmic branch:
https://code.launchpad.net/~gnomefreak/sunbird/ubuntu-0.x.9.10

Should be published soon

I built the lightning-sunbird source (version 0.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu6~9.04~jjv2) obtained from http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnomefreak/ppa/ubuntu on a Jaunty arm device. The build did succeed but then Sunbird crashed on startup. Including the following Thunderbird change (from Thunderbird 2.0.0.22+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu2) in Sunbird seemed to fix the Sunbird crash on startup.

fix LP: #385325 - crash in JS due to usage of wrong floating point number format;
    thanks Michael Casadevall for the research and locating the fix; patch created from
    hg rev 2538:3f78d5e894bc aka bmo #322806
    - add debian/patches/bz322806_arm-vfp-2538:3f78d5e894bc
    - update debian/patches/series

Are you saying that the thunderbird fix no longer makes sunbird crash on startup?

I have to add the 2 patches from thunderbird that Alexander and Michael just added, we than need a patch for arm to use gcc 4.4 when building. I have been waiting for Alexander to push sunbird so i can at least get some of the fixes out and i can work on arm/gcc stuff afterwards but i will ask again when i get time to get online for more than an hour

Yup, I'm saying that the thunderbird fix no longer makes sunbird crash on startup.

sunbird or lightning. sunbird and thunderbird should have nothing to do
with each other. i still have to maek subird use gcc-4.3 on arm. i
should have that done by monday i just have to figure out reversioning
of it since i screwed up my branch PPA is ubuntu6 and i would rather
combine them into ubuntu3 and hope i dont have to make a note on PPA to
tell users to downgrade once released. but ill get to everything by
monday i hope
