545198 - Using VS9 Professional with x64 build fails

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox Build System :: MozillaBuild, task)

Description

[Kyle Huey (Exited; not receiving bugmail, old account, do not use)]

On Visual Studio 9 Professional 

Bin\amd64\vcvarsamd64.bat is really
Bin\vcvarsx86_amd64.bat

%VC9DIR% also comes with a trailing backslash.

I blame Mook. :)

Kyle, why do you use 64-bit compiler for x86 platform?

mozilla-build 1.4 uses correct batch file to use x64 compiler on x64 platform.

Comment 5

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

Oops.  I misunderstand...

But although I use VS9 Pro, I don't meet any error with current mozilla-build.

Kyle: Looking at my VC9 Pro install, I have:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\amd64\vcvarsamd64.bat

There's also a:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64\vcvarsx86_amd64.bat, but AIUI that's for cross-compiling from x86 systems.

Hmm, I have no batch files at all in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\amd64\.  I have the following in VC\bin\

vcvars32.bat
vcvars64.bat (which I suppose is probably the one I should be using)
vcvarsx86_amd64.bat
vcvarsx86_ia64.bat

It does make sense that x86_amd64 would be for cross compiling.

Do you have VC9SP1 installed?

No, I'll install it and see if that changes anything.
