1832502 - Error while checking the version of the SDK in WINDOWSSDKDIR

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Alex Kontos]

Attachment: .mozconfig

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0 Waterfox/102.11

Steps to reproduce:

Checked out gecko-dev, master branch, commit ee6ab6eb2d222e0004604de62206baa67cac33af.

Applied the attached mozconfig, which works when building esr102.

As of the time of this bug, the Visual C++ files (17.5.5) and Windows SDK (22621) were created the following way:

The following folders were moved over:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\DIA SDK -> dia-sdk

cp -R /mnt/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Microsoft\ Visual\ Studio/2022/BuildTools/DIA\ SDK/ dia-sdk/
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC -> visual-c
cp -R /mnt/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Microsoft\ Visual\ Studio/2022/BuildTools/VC/ visual-c/
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10 -> win-sdk
cp -R /mnt/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Windows\ Kits/10/ win-sdk/

They were then given 777 permissions:

sudo chmod -R 777 $FOLDER

Then, each file and directory was changed to be lower case (Note: rename must be installed):

find $FOLDER -depth | xargs -n 1 rename -v 's/(.*)\/([^\/]*)/$1\/\L$2/' {} \;

Windows 10 SDK Version: 10.0.22621.0
Visual Studio 2022 Version: 17.5.5 / 14.35.32215

Actual results:

Build fails with the following error:

0:01.99 checking for Windows SDK... no
0:01.99 ERROR: Error while checking the version of the SDK in WINDOWSSDKDIR (/home/build/win-cross/win-sdk-22621). Please verify it contains a valid and complete SDK installation.
*** Fix above errors and then restart with "./mach build"

Expected results:

Configure should find the relevant SDK version, as in esr102. From esr102 configure step:

Considering you have liblowercase.so in your mozconfig, this probably comes from that. I can't guarantee this works anymore. You can (and should) now use the pristine MSVC directories/files (no lowercasing), and no liblowercase.
But really, I'd advise you empty your mozconfig, and just let the bootstrapping process get what is needed.
