282630 - LNK4027: CVPACK error when set MOZ_PROFILE=1

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Bob Clary [:bc] (inactive)]

When building Firefox trunk on Windows XP using VC6 with Windows SDK, if I set
MOZ_PROFILE I get the following build error:

   Creating library firefox.lib and object firefox.exp


***** cvpack INTERNAL ERROR, exception code = 0xc0000005 *****

LINK : warning LNK4027: CVPACK error

If I remove MOZ_PROFILE, the build completes

This error does not occur on Firefox 1.0x branch. For more information
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q102697

Note that I also see in all builds just prior to creating firefox.lib:
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option "L../../dist/lib/components"; ignored

I have almost the same problem. Unfortunately for me, removing MOZ_PROFILE didn't help me. I have MSVC++ 6, SP5, and the processor pack. The details of my problem is at http://tinyurl.com/hxstm
Even after removing MOZ_PROFILE, I have the same problem somehow. wtc suggested defining MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS for debug symbols. He also suggested using link.exe for Win64 included in PSDK. I'm now trying both of them one by one.

jshin: please disregard my second suggestion of using the win64
link.exe from the PSDK.  I now remember it is lib.exe that can
be used this way.

Nobody has time to work on this. Sorry.
