373248 - sb-win32-tbox requires Python installation

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Tinderbox, defect)

Description

[cmtalbert]

Bsmedburg's new Mozilla Build Environment needs to be installed on the windows tinxerboxen in the Sunbird trunk tinderbox suite.  From everything I've read, I think this also should be done on the Sunbird MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH tinderboxes too.  However, those aren't burning at the moment, so I leave that decision up to you.

The Sunbird Trunk Windows Boxes are burning due to the fact that Python is not installed on the box. It failed during configure, so this probably means that the new build environment is not installed. (Or that the Python part of that install failed, which seems unlikely).

If there is anything I can do to help fix this, please let me know.
Thanks.

Updating severity because this blocks development and testing work on Sunbird/Lightning Trunk.

From logfile:

checking for python... no
configure: error: python was not found in $PATH
*** Fix above errors and then restart with "make -f client.mk build"
make[1]: *** [configure] Error 1

None of the tinderboxen have been moved to MozillaBuild yet.

Let me see what version of python is installed on the other trunk tinderboxen and how it got there, and then try to replicate that on the Sunbird trunk box.

sb-win32-tbox has been upgraded to the lastest and greatest win32 ref platform, complete with python 2.4.3. Updated to pick up the DST patch while I was in there, so builds should be submitted on time now too.

It appears to be building correctly now as I look at the console, but we'll let it cycle before closing the bug.

Sunbird build is busted, but it doesn't appear to be related to python or upgrades.
