NSS Shared DB Test

Building NSS with shared DB

1. Getting the shared DB sources:

The majority of the code for building with the shared DB is located under softoken. In the branch BOB_SHARED_DB. This branch is kept up to date with the tip, so you should be able to just pull the branch on top of your standard NSS build.

1. . checkout NSS as normal.
2. . cd mozilla/security/nss/lib
3. . mv softoken softoken.orig
4. . cvs checkout -r NSS_BOB_SHARED softoken

2. Getting sqlite3. If you don't have a system version of sqlite3, you will need to build it. (If you have a system version you can skip this step:

1. . in mozilla/security/nss/lib: cvs checkout -r NSS_BOB_SHARED sqlite
2. . Patch the makefile as follows:

3. This should be enough to build the nss shared libraries. If you want to build the commands, patch the command line directory with the patch from bug 217538 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217538) (the patch is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=266699 )

4. If you want to test the shared library, then apply the test patch from the same bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=266700)

Build and test NSS as normal.
