Re: NSPR build

Yes, I do use GNU make. (make -v shows that), although i cannot find the 
gmake command.

I tried building NSPR 4.7.4 with the suggestions you provided and the build 
seems to go fine, except it fails at final linking stage
and gives the error.

Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
__eprintf                           misc/./prerrortable.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to libnspr4.so
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libnspr4.so] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory 
`/space/xxs/tmp/nspr-4.6.4/mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src'
make[1]: *** [export] Error 2


I tried doing a grep for the symbol _eprint in the NSPR directories but 
couldnt find it anywhere. So whats wrong here?

I read on the internet that eprintf is a symbol referenced by the gcc Assert 
macro and doing -DNDEBUG as a build option will make the error go away.
However I do not know how to pass this option to make.
Can anybody help me?

Thanks
Vinu
