Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: XPCOM, defect)

Description

[Ronny Perinke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051110 Firefox/1.5 (Sephiroth/AXP)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051110 Firefox/1.5 (Sephiroth/AXP)

glib and libIDL used for VC71-based builds are not binary compatible with the
MSVC++ .net 2005 compiler, so it crashes.

I have created a set of new binaries compiled with MS Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition and new patches based on those for VC 7.0 (bug #123743).


The second problem is, that all exe files will crash during the build process because the corresponding .manifest files are missing (not copied with their binary)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. build with MSVC++ 2005
2.
3.
