195060 - Nightly 1.3 are debug builds (file size ~ 40MB) (missing MSVCRTD.DLL)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Torben]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030216
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en; rv:1.3) Build 2003022510 (.zip)

The latest 1.3 nightly will not start, gives error: "Cannot find required
DLL-file MSVCRTD.DLL" (translated). Neither browser nor profile manager works.

I guess this is a resurface of bug 192220

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the win32.zip from
   ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.3
   (which as the moment is the same as
    ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2003-02-25-10-1.3)
2. Unzip (to new folder)
3. Run

Actual Results:  
Error message given above appears.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should start.

As with bug 192220 I guess this will be fixed with the next upload, filing bug
to keep track of this.

Oops, this is probably "Other branch", not "Trunk".

Comment 3

[Michael Lefevre]

debug build theory makes sense - the binaries are also ~40% larger than normal.

Comment 4

[Robert Accettura [:raccettura]]

It started for me, after that gigantic download, but crashed all over the place.
 It was a debug build.  Can we get back to having regular builds so we can
legitimately test them?  Prehaps provide yet another binary for the debug build?
 I think it's important for people to test Mozilla in real world situations. 
This hinders that process.

Comment 5

[Michael Lefevre]

Robert - I don't think this was a deliberate decision to have debug builds in
there, it's just a mistake (hence this bug report) and normal service will be
resumed :)

Comment 6

[Torben]

Still happens with the 2003022610-build (.zip), adding smoketest-keyword.

Comment 7

[Robert Accettura [:raccettura]]

Michael - Ok, I was just wondering why they would do such a thing after 1.2
turned out to have that dhtml bug.  The last thing Mozilla seems to need is less
testing. ;)

Even the installer builds do not work. They will give extremely long error
messages while unpacking GRE. W2Ksp3.

Comment 9

[Owen Marshall (Not reading bugmail)]

Comment 8: Look at bug 195112, and be sure the issues you see here are not the 
same. I am CC'ing some GRE and installer folks just in case these issues 
differ, however.

We should probably keep this seperate from 195112, so lets be sure we are only 
reporting problems with the missing .DLL file.

Someone want to test todays nightly? I will pull it as soon as I get home and 
see if it still exists.

Build 2003-02-25-10-1.3 is a debug build.  I just took a look at today's build.
 It seems to be fixed now (optimized build).

*** Bug 195112 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.3/mozilla-win32-
talkback.zip with timestamp 27-Feb-2003 13:10  40.1M  still shoes the problem; 
based on the size, is this also a debug build?

Comment 13

[Andrew Hagen]

It's back to normal now. This problem has been fixed. Thanks, guys.

Comment 14

[Steve Cline]

agree - I was running a 2/26 nightly when I saw the error - 2/27 starts ok

Comment 15

[Owen Marshall (Not reading bugmail)]

Ok, marking WFM based upon comments 10, 13, and 14. Reopen if this issue persists. 

Comment 16

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

so um, the 40 MB large builds (4x as large as normally) at
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.3 are nto debug builds? why
are they so large, then?

Comment 17

[Michael Lefevre]

reopening based on comment 12, comment 16, and this:
Index of ftp://komodo.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2003-02-27-05-1.3/
mozilla-win32-installer-sea.exe  	43443 KB  	27/02/2003  	10:00:00
mozilla-win32-talkback.zip 	41022 KB 	27/02/2003 	10:01:00

40MB is very wrong... looking at the XPI folder, the XPI sizes look normal
except GRE:
gre-win32-installer.zip  	24584 KB  	27/02/2003  	10:03:00

if this is a different problem, I guess we can resolve this bug and file a new
one...

Comment 18

[Owen Marshall (Not reading bugmail)]

My guess is that this is technically a seperate issue. However, would anyone
object to us keeping this issue on this bug, considering it has plenty of
developer attention? Might as well just keep it, IMHO. But feel free to spin off
a    seperate bug if anyone objects.

In the meantime, I am changing the summary in assumption that we can just keep
this, and nominating for 1.3 blocker, as 40mb files aren't good ;)

Comment 19

[Robert Accettura [:raccettura]]

I agree with comment 18.

This isn't good this close to 1.3.  It makes it impossible test on a "real use"
basis.  I would love to start playing with newer builds, and help see if we can
find all the bugs (assuming that's possible in theory).  But this is a serious
problem.

Comment 20

[Torben]

Right now both the mozilla-win32-installer-sea.exe and the mozilla-win32.zip
files in ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.3 (which are
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2003-02-28-05-1.3 ) seems to have the
correct file size.
mozilla-win32-talkback.zip is still broken though.

I will not be able to test these builds before monday, so I cannot guarantee
they are working.

Comment 21

[Torben]

Based on the file sizes in
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2003-03-01-05-1.3/
this seems finally fixed.
Also changing the summary.
