After tracemonkey bug 549207 fix,
I discovered I currently have to add --disable-ctypes for bug 551724,
then my local build fails later with:
{
.../ipc/chromium/src/base/debug_util_win.cc(262) : error C3861: 'CaptureStackBackTrace': identifier not found
}

I don't know why I now hit this :-(

Code is
{
261   // TODO(ajwong): Migrate this to StackWalk64.
262   int count = CaptureStackBackTrace(0, kMaxCallers, callers, NULL);
}

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb204633(VS.85).aspx
{
Minimum supported client	Windows XP
Minimum supported server	Windows Server 2003
}

Obviously, I should not be building this code.

NB: I have VS8E and 2003R2 SDK.

Oh, I must not have built Firefox since
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/fc6ed914e44e
"Build the pieces of the chromium code we actually need. Many thanks to bent for doing this the first time: I redid the Makefile to be all in one directory and use vpath directives so that dependencies work correctly."

--disable-ipc lets my build complete.

Then, either this code needs to be fixed, or an explicit check added in configure.in until then.

Not sure I understand why this is nominated.  Can you explain?  Clearing for now, but please re-nom with a detailed reason.

Ftr,
SeaMonkey has just switched to libxul (bug 394502) then enabled ipc (bug
545716).
I downloaded a Debug Windows build and I'm now seeing this bug instead of
bug 562820.
We do not intend to make debug builds work on win2k. The only thing I would accept for this bug is a configure patch requiring a new-enough version of the Windows SDK.

Instead of saying "do not set X", you should give the option that the user needs to use to avoid this error, like "you can specify --disable-whatever". Please fix that in all of your error messages.

r=me with that change.

[Backed out: See comment 19]

(In reply to comment #10)

Your comment makes sense, but I'm not sure that it applies to these cases.

1)
There is currently no '--*able-tsf'.
2)
Correct default values are/would_be set: see the 'AC_MSG_WARN()' blocks.
Then, if the user is getting errors, it's only because he tried to override them, when he shouldn't.
So, specifying '--disable-*' would just be redundant with the defaults.

In other words, I would agree with you if we removed the defaults and forced the user to explicitly disable these features, but I don't think we want to cause this burden.

"approval2.0=?":
Configure fixes for building with older SDK, no risk.

It was nominated because build fails on a tier-1 platform :-<

Ftr, there is another affected file:
{
process_util_win.cc
.../ipc/chromium/src/base/process_util_win.cc(560) : error C2065: 'PSAPI_WORKING_SET_INFORMATION' : undeclared identifier
...
.../ipc/chromium/src/base/process_util_win.cc(737) : error C2065: 'HeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption' : undeclared identifier
}

NB: I have a bare workaround for both, locally...
And a 3rd/last error, on Debug builds:
something like "firefox.exe : Missing entry point SymFromAddr in dbghelp.dll"

This one is in debug_util_win.cc too.

NB: I have a bare workaround for it too locally, and I can build a runnable debug Firefox from Try with it, at last :-)
Depends on: RequireWin7SDK
No longer depends on: PSDK2003R2Removal
