GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 479507
Add an option to build without google-breakpad
Last modified: 2008-09-24 16:34:42 UTC
Hi, The patch i'll attach in a bit adds a configure time switch to not build with google-breakpad (even if your arch supports it). Also it makes bug-buddy only configure and include files from google-breakpad if google-bp support is turned on. for the record.. This is because in debian we don't want to build with google-breakpad support as parts of it are under the apache license which is incompatible with GPLv2 (bug-buddy's license). But thats an issue for another bug :).. Apart from licensing issues, building without google-breakpad should be quite usefull for testing too.

Hi, thanks for the patch. I'm quite interested about the licensing issues. google-breakpad page [1] stands that it is under New BSD License, and that is what I understood from google developers. The only reference that I can find in the current code about APL is in postfix_evaluator.h and probably is a mistake. [1] http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/
I will commit this after branching for gnome-2-24.
I committed a slightly modified version of this patch to trunk, closing as FIXED. 2008-09-24 Cosimo Cecchi <cosimoc@gnome.org> * configure.in: Make google-breakpad support optional (but enabled by default for the platforms that support it). Thanks to Sjoerd Simons (#479507).
