76751 - mozilla\xpfe\components\build\nsModule.cpp contains compile time errors

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[MatthiasMann]

When I build mozilla I got the following error:

mozilla\xpfe\components\build\nsModule.cpp(107) : error C2440: 'initializing' :
'' kann nicht in 'unsigned int (__stdcall *)(class nsIComponentManager *,class
nsIFile *,const char *,const char *,const struct nsModuleComponentInfo *)'
konvertiert werden

or translated into english:
mozilla\xpfe\components\build\nsModule.cpp(107) : error C2440: 'initializing' :
'' can't convert to 'unsigned int (__stdcall *)(class nsIComponentManager
*,class nsIFile *,const char *,const char *,const struct nsModuleComponentInfo *)'

Since the tinders didn't complain, ... reporter: i suspect we need more info, 
what compiler are you using?

...more questions, reporter: you shouldn't mark a compile error OS:All, please 
tell us which os you were using [linux?] and update the field.

works for me on windows/mac/linux.  THe ports aren't dying.

The problem was solved by pulling a new tree 8 hours later. It seems like I've
pulled this file at the wrong moment.

But it would be nice to write a better compilation guide for mozilla. I'm still
unamble to build mozilla.

Should I write a loop like this to pull and build mozilla ?
  :start
  nmake /f client.mak clobber
  if errorlevel 1 goto start
  nmake /f client.mak pull_all
  if errorlevel 1 goto start
  nmake /f client.mak build_all
  if errorlevel 1 goto start

better complication guide?  like any other concurrent development project, the 
tip is a risky place to be.

mass verification of WorksForMe bugs: to find all bugspam pertaining to this,
set your search string to "IfItWorksForSlappyTheSquirrelThenItWFM".

if you think this particular bug is *still* an open issue, please make sure of
the following before reopening:

a. that it's still a problem with ***recent trunk builds*** on the all
appropriate platform[s]

b. provide clear steps to reproduce (unless a good test case is already in the
bug report), making sure it pertains to the original problem (avoid morphing as
much as possible :)
