The Makefile.in has changed by Mozilla team: --------------------------------------------------- ###################################################################### # # Tru64/Alpha # ifeq ($(OS_ARCH)$(OS_TEST),OSF1alpha) CPPSRCS := xptcinvoke_osf1_alpha.cpp xptcstubs_osf1_alpha.cpp ASFILES := xptcinvoke_asm_osf1_alpha.s xptcstubs_asm_osf1_alpha.s endif # # Linux/Alpha # ifneq (,$(filter Linuxalpha FreeBSDalpha NetBSDalpha,$(OS_ARCH)$(OS_TEST))) CPPSRCS := xptcinvoke_linux_alpha.cpp xptcstubs_linux_alpha.cpp endif --------------------------------------------------- But I have no idea if it works.
