Re: building unix installer outside normal tree

OK, I'm confused... which patch is which?
here's the list of patches from the bug (description + date + X if it's 
removed)

fix build_static.pl when MOZ_OBJDIR set in mozconfig
   2002-08-10 09:59:19
objdir support for deliver.pl
   2002-12-04 23:56:37 X
add command-line option to build.pl
   2003-03-08 13:55:42 X
updated from Benjamin Smedberg that is merged with trunk
   2003-03-18 11:28:51
fix objdir installer for nsBuildID.h
   2003-03-28 22:54:51 X
make deliver.pl objdir aware & fix bogus strip errors in makexpi.pl
   2003-03-29 15:23:17
patch 0.1
   2003-04-03 11:40:40 X
patch v1.0
   2003-04-03 19:02:28

fix build_static.pl (the first patch) just affects 
wizard/windows/builder/build_static.pl so that's presumably the one I 
should be using...

I tried "updated from Benjamin Smedberg" but that failed to apply... it 
affects packager/make_stage.pl, packager/win_gre/makeall.pl, and 
wizard/windows/builder/build.pl

"make deliver.pl objdir aware" affects packager/unix/deliver.pl and 
packager/unix/makexpi.pl ... in fact it's identical to patch 1.0 as far 
as I can see.

patch v1.0 is the one I had downloaded, and only affects 
packager/unix/deliver.pl and packager/unix/makexpi.pl

I'm trying to build version 1.3.1. Whether I apply the "fix 
build_static.pl" or not, I get the following:
  perl build.pl
file not found: E:/mozilla/src/mozilla/dist/bin/mozilla.exe
So it isn't looking in MOZ_OBJDIR, even though it's set in my .mozconfig
I tried setting it as an environment variable, that didn't help either...

I notice this patch only fixes build_static, is there a fix for build.pl 
or should I try make one?

David
