(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Panos Astithas (he/him) [:past] (please ni?)]

Lately 'mach clobber; mach build' fails for artifact builds on Windows. This is what I get with mozilla-build-3.0pre1 and what Marco gets with mozilla-build-2.2.0:

I did a little IRC debugging with Panos and Marco today. This appears to be a PATH setting issue. Shells started via start-shell-msvc*.bat work correctly but not ones started with start-shell.bat. Sounds like there's an SDK we're not detecting correctly when compiling with MSVC 2015 (WFM locally with 2017).

Though non-artifact builds work fine, so maybe this isn't tied to a specific MSVC version (I only do full builds with 2017) but rather to the way artifact builds are created.

Comment 3

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

Artifact builds don't run toolchain configure tests, so some paths are left out of PATH.

I'd argue the problem is with generating C/C++ headers during artifact builds.

Attachment: Bug 1367735 - Do not attempt to generate or install headers or other compile related files during artifact builds.

This patch stops GENERATED_FILES from being run during export for artifact
builds and prevents EXPORTS from being processed because some of these will
depend on generated headers.

For what it's worth, I'm a new owner of a Windows 10 machine and just started trying to follow "Building Firefox for Windows" on MDN [1]. I've got VS 2017 and MozillaBuild installed - and my local run of `mach build` errors out similarly [2]. 

Oh, and reading through previous comments - it seems significant to note that I started with start-shell.bat. I'll try one of the other scripts

Since I'm a WIndows dev newb, I don't have a whole lot of constructive feedback beyond this :/

Bug 1367735 - Do not attempt to generate or install headers or other compile related files during artifact builds.

I would've thought we would just wrap the CompositorD3D11Shaders.h rule inside a COMPILE_ENVIRONMENT check, but this seems like a better way to go to avoid these issues in the future. I tried to double-check the diff to make sure nothing important was left out, and as far as I can tell it's all a bunch of headers or generated .cpp files needed for the compile-tier. So I think it should be good to go!

Just to follow up on my own issue - this seems to have gone away when I disabled Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10. So that seems like a red herring for this bug.

Comment 9

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

I'm going to nit here, but this should be done at the frontend level, not the backend level (because it means every single backend will need to implement the filtering)
