1833428 - NSS does not build on windows

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSPR :: NSPR, defect)

Description

[Anna Weine]

TLDR: NSS does not build on NSS.

Copy-paste from the user:

I have been trying to build NSS 3.89.1 on windows
nss/build.sh does not work

This time I am trying (on my last attempt) -- that is on the mozillabuild shell
build.sh -v --enable-64bit --msvc

I understand it supposed to build nspr first
the scripts appears to have 5 steps
Seems to be crashing in the middle of step 2
The last attempt says failed to find st command

calling build.sh --rebuild --enable-64bit --msvc
This is the output

Step 2/5 of NSPR configure does not seem to complete properly

BASED on the nspr.sh script -- I am supposed to see if the tests were executed or not for step 3

if [ "$build_nspr_tests" = 1 ]; then
  echo "NSPR [3/5] build tests ..."
  run_verbose make -C "$nspr_dir/pr/tests"
else
    echo "NSPR [3/5] NOT building tests"
fi

Probably the problem is in NSPR.

TLDR: NSS does not build on NSS.

I think you mean NSS doesn't build on Windows?

Exactly..

NSS does build on Windows-latest with the correct setup... The documentation is out of date though.
