764939 - [calendar] Switch win32 build slaves to Visual C++ 2010

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Stefan Sitter [:ssitter]]

Now that Visual C++ 2010 is available on the win32 build slaves (Bug 757500) we should switch the build to actually use it. Any ideas what needs to be done for this? Maybe a patch similar to the one in Thunderbird Bug 751592?

Yes, something like that should be the right step. I'll make sure to reconfigure buildbot this afternoon.

The switch to vc10 was done for Thunderbird 15, therefore we need to switch both comm-aurora and comm-central builders. Maybe we can store the config files inside the source tree like done for Thunderbird, i.e. the builders correctly setup itself during the merge days?

No need to reconfig buildbot for this, just check in the changes to the mozconfigs here:

We just need to remember to repeat the change for comm-beta and comm-release once Lightning 1.7 is merged to that branch.

Agreed. I'm not sure yet how we could get the mozconfigs into the tree. There surely will be code that loads the in-tree mozconfigs and we'd have to tell it to also load the calendar mozconfigs if --enable-calendar is passed. Since thats a mozconfig option itself, we'd need some other way to determine when to build calendar (environment var?). Maybe a new bug would be good for that.
