274221 - Re-roll wintools.zip

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox Build System :: MozillaBuild, task)

Description

[Brian Haskin (Janzert)]

Many of the current contents of wintools.zip are either no longer needed or
actively cause problems, the directory structure is a mess and it contains cvs
entries from a repository that seems to no longer exist. To help prevent this
from re-occuring in the future as little as possible should be included in
wintools.zip.

The goal of this bug would be to minimize both the contents and actual final
size of wintools.zip, while normalizing the directory structure.

Attachment: Stripped down tools archive

This is a stripped down zip file containing the minimal set of files needed to
build Mozilla. Also in the original archive, the include files were corrupted,
and had \r\r\n line endings. The bogus line endings caused the compilers to
complain. I've fixed them to use just \r\n in this archive.

There is no install.bat here, the files are archived under a "moztools"
directory. Just extract it where you want it, but don't forget to set MOZ_TOOLS
accordingly.

Stripped down tools archive

This bug has been making it a real pain for newcomers to roll a Windows build.
It would be nice to see it resolved soon. I've pointed my MSYS build docs at
this attachment to help lessen the pain in the meantime.

Stripped down tools archive

As I pointed out in bug 255460, I'd rather not ship those files as a bundle. 
We'll keep needing to re-release this zip everytime we obsolete something and
that's apparently a painful exercise since it's rarely done.  How does this zip
compare to wintools-dotnet.zip?  (Who uploaded that?) If we stick with
bundling, then we should make sure to version the zip this time.

Since we're re-releasing the files, we should check that the include files work
if you're using unix line-endings as well and probably bump the libidl version
to 0.6.8 so that we have parity with the vc71 libs in
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/ .

OK. I didn't realize the full intent of your comment on bug 255460, and nobody
else commenting there seemed to respond to it.

I have no idea. This zip is just a repackaging of the original wintools.zip
files, with the header files fixed.

Good idea.

I guess it would make more sense to just create vc6-glib-xxx and vc6-libIDL-xxx.

Anyway, these bugs have been lying around for most of a year with no real
action. What happened to Brian?

In trunk builds, this is easy to review with
jar:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=241734!/

So wait, who needs to put this in place? =/

preed, and move the existing moztools to a dated download.
