141999 - nmake for component that REQUIRES xml-rpc fails

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P3)

Description

[carlos]

I have built 1.0 RC1 (on Windows ME) and I'm trying to compile a homegrown
component that depends on xml-rpc includes.  As part of the nmake build proces
(to add the include path), I add an xml-rpc entry in the REQUIRES line of
makefile.win.

Apparently the build is getting confused with the dash, and the xml-rpc is
getting divided up into 2 -I entries.  Below is part of the output from an "
echo $(INCS) " make target which shows what's going on:

-I../../../dist\include\\xml--I../../../dist\include\\rpc

Possible workaround could be to rename the xml-rpc module (in
extensions/xml-rpc/idl/makefile.win) to xmlrpc.  I did this and the build went fine.

This looks like a build issue, reassigning.

It it is necessary to rename the dir, I suggest doing this in the CVS server
itself to retain revision information.

Why won't nmake just die?
