Bug 1170226

After the upgrade of xulrunner from 24 to 31 in RHEL7, spice-xpi is no longer building without some small adjustments:
- header.py and typelib.py were moved
- files including nsError.h need to be compiled with -std=gnu++1y or something like that to avoid warnings

This is easily worker around in spice-xpi, but 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1165784 +++

Description of problem:
When try to build a binary from srpm, process ends with error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-xpi-2.8-7.el7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.get srpm and try to build binary

Actual results:
Build process ends with error:

In file included from nsScriptablePeer.cpp:54:0:
/usr/include/xulrunner-31.2.0/nsError.h:187:1: warning: identifier 'static_assert' is a keyword in C++11 [-Wc++0x-compat]
static_assert(((nsresult)0) < ((nsresult)-1),
^
In file included from nsScriptablePeer.cpp:54:0:
/usr/include/xulrunner-31.2.0/nsError.h:187:14: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '(' token

            ^

static_assert(sizeof(nsresult) == sizeof(uint32_t),
make[5]: *** [libnsISpicec_la-nsScriptablePeer.lo] Error 1

Expected results:
build process is finished without errors and new binary is built 

Additional info:
Build process launched on TPS servers

Couple of issues here. With xulrunner 31, this patch is needed (but it's not related to your problem, just dropping it here for the record):

Then you need to have -std=gnu++1y added to your CXXFLAGS to avoid the static_assert errors you mention.
