514215 - m-c freetype2 doesn't build from c-c

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Serge Gautherie (:sgautherie)]

m-c builds fine:
{
[...]
afdummy.c
rm -f freetype2.lib
lib -NOLOGO -OUT:"freetype2.lib"  afangles.obj ftbase.obj [...]
[...]
}

c-c + m-c doesn't:
{
make -B -C objdir/mozilla/modules/freetype2

afdummy.c
[...]/perl.exe [...]/version_win.pl [...] -DISPNAME SeaMonkey -APPVERSION 2.1a1pre -MODNAME freetype2
Creating Resource file: module.res
rc.exe  [...] -Fomodule.res [...]/modules/freetype2/module.rc
fatal error RC1103: invalid option, -FI
make[1]: *** [module.res] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/objdir/mozilla/modules/freetype2'
}
I don't know why c-c + m-c calls 'version_win.pl + rc.exe' whereas m-c doesn't. :-(

NB: I verified that the "related" cleanup I've already done in c-c doesn't matter.

Maybe this feature depends on something else to be ported in bug 506493 first?

ToDo: check whether this bug (still) affects other platforms or not.

This bug is no longer relevant. The mentioned Perl script was removed in the last year and freetype is definitely building from m-c otherwise.
