63779 - RC files that aren't built

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P3)

Description

[timeless]

Request permission to kill files [and investigate the removal of their 
siblings]
/modules/libpref/src/win/res/prefdll.rc
/xpinstall/wizard/windows/nszip/nszip.rc
/mailnews/mapi/mapi32/mapi32.rc

None of these files are mentioned in makefile.win's, they basically are 
mentioned in resource.h files [built for them] and nszip references itself and 
another file w/ a similar name which would be caught by my lxr search for the 
filename.

aren't .rc files used to create the version info in the version tab under
Properties?  Or are these .rc files for files that we no longer ship?

Comment 2

rc files have to be compiled into .res files which are then linked into .dll or 
.exe files. These rc files aren't being compiled and are for things which we no 
longer build.

afaik mapi32 will be rewritten from scratch (if and) when someone resurrects 
that project.

the other two are just components of dead products.

thanks for the info, sounds good to me but it might be a while before leaf can 
get to it.

Mass reassign of open bugs for [e-mail] to [e-mail].

These files are not in LXR; presumed fixed.
