512763 - Trunk builds broken with "failed to start because msvcp80.dll was not found" / port bug 508861

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Build Config, defect)

Description

Attachment: The fix

Bug 508861 changed how trunk builds are linked, they now link against an additional c++ runtime that we build.

We need to port this across because otherwise our trunk builds will fail to start.

The patch is a straight port of the relevant parts of bug 508861, note that the configure part is in a section which is specific to trunk only.

Also added the relevant files to the packages/removed files places.

I haven't tested this, but I'm sure it will work, and will check the builds after it lands.

I'll double-check this works before I land.

I downloaded an hourly build and it works fine now.
