Getting this too trying to build on Windows 8.1 with VS 2012.

Comment 2

[Cameron McCormack (:heycam)]

Looks like bug 1037667 is the problem.  Vlad, do you know how can get building with VS 2012 working again?

I tried building without --disable-webgl too by the way.

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

The problem is this: "/lib/x86/d3d9.lib /lib/x86/dxguid.lib". Those are missing a directory prefix. Do you have the latest Mozilla-build? There were changes in how the SDK directories are found, but I thought we had configure checks to let you know if something went wrong. 

(fwiw, I and others are building with 2012 with no problems.. I think the Metro builds are with 2012 also.)

Comment 4

[Cameron McCormack (:heycam)]

I didn't have the latest mozilla-build, but I just updated to 1.10, clobbered and rebuilt and got the same error.  I shouldn't need to have the old DirectX SDK installed since I am using VS 2012, right?

Comment 5

[Robert Longson [:longsonr]]

No, you don't need it with 2012.

Before changes I made build with no problems too... But after...
I tried to update from m-c at least one time a week. Since one moment build was breaked.

Comment 7

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

You definitely shouldn't need the DX SDK.  Hrm.  In your objdir, can you look in config/autoconf.mk, and copy the values of MOZ_DIRECTX_SDK_PATH, MOZ_HAS_WINSDK_WITH_D3D, and MOZ_D3DCOMPILER_*?  (or really just attach autoconf.mk)

Comment 8

[Cameron McCormack (:heycam)]

Attachment: autoconf.mk

Comment 9

[Cameron McCormack (:heycam)]

Attachment: config.status

Comment 10

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

Are you building with --disable-webgl by any chance? If you are, don't do that.  I need to land the patch that nukes that option :/

Comment 11

[Cameron McCormack (:heycam)]

No, after seeing in the comments in bug 1037667 about --disable-webgl not working any more I removed it from my mozconfig.

Comment 12

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

Hmm. Your autoconf.mk though has no MOZ_WEBGL=1 line, and your config.status has:

     (''' MOZ_WEBGL ''', r'''  '''),

So either you do still have --disable-webgl, or something else went badly wrong :/

Comment 13

[Cameron McCormack (:heycam)]

Argh!  I had a MOZCONFIG variable set so I was changing the wrong .mozconfig file.  Having removed --disable-webgl from the file that is actually being used, I can successfully build again.  Thanks!

Maksim, can you confirm that removing --disable-webgl from your .mozconfig allows you to build again?

Please, see instruction in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Windows_8
>If you don't install the DirectX SDK, add the following to your .mozconfig:
>   ac_add_options --disable-webgl
>   ac_add_options --disable-gamepad

I have just updated sources one more time.
Looks like, now I can build FireFox with and without option --disable-webgl in .mozconfig

Comment 16

[Robert Longson [:longsonr]]

Building with VS2012 is no longer supported.
