Subject: [webkit-dev] four perl files hard-code the path to gcc
Message-ID: <20090308084212.1c951b52@foo.net>

hello

first: i refuse to use bugzilla because it doesn't let me drop or at
least close my account at a later time. take this post or not.

four of the perl files contend hard-coded paths to gcc. my gcc resides
in opt and is not detected (not even searched for). please update these
scripts with the general configure procedure. the scripts are:

WebCore/css/make-css-file-arrays.pl
WebCore/dom/make_names.pl
WebCore/bindings/scripts/IDLParser.pm
WebCore/bindings/scripts/CodeGeneratorObjC.pm

many thanks,
dennis heuer

I would recommend CC-ing yourself on this bug, but I know that would be a classic chicken-or-the-egg problem:

Users should be allowed to delete their own account

The complaint was about the path to GCC, not perl.

This is why it's best to file your own bugs.  Updated title.

Also applies to linux, should be Hardware/OS=All

This is solved as soon as #35551 lands. Please, can someone review that one and mark this as duplicated?
