1069737 - mozglue failed to build using Visual Studio 14: LINK : fatal error LNK1146: no argument specified with option '/EXTRACT :'

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1236330

(Core :: mozglue, defect)

Description

[Xavier Fung]

Attachment: Library list of msvc_combined.lib

I am using Visual Studio 14 CTP3 to build trunk, but could not pass through mozglue with the following error.

 9:11.30 LINK : fatal error LNK1146: no argument specified with option '/EXTRACT
:'
 9:11.32 Makefile:153: recipe for target 'crtdll.obj' failed
 9:11.32 mozmake.EXE[5]: *** [crtdll.obj] Error 1146
 9:11.32 e:/mozilla-inbound/config/recurse.mk:82: recipe for target 'mozglue/bui
ld/target' failed

The CRTDLL_FULLPATH is just a blank string, so /EXTRACT function does not work in the Makefile. It seems that the CRT changes in Visual Studio 14 removes "crtdll.obj", so the grep part does not get a match for CRTDLL_FULLPATH, resulting a blank string.

Attached is the output of the command "shell lib -list msvc_combined.lib".
