844522 - Enable Metro for Win64

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 828465

(Firefox Build System :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Kyle Repinski]

It'd probably be a good idea to start building and testing 64-bit MetroUI builds. A while ago (1-3 months?) I was building the elm branch without issues on my computer, but unfortunately that computer broke so I have no way of testing it now myself, so hopefully nothing has changed since then to break that.

Decisions to spin up new official builds do not come lightly. Has this been discussed on a mailing list anywhere?

Over to Matt for triage.

I don't think this is about adding a new build, but just about changing our existing Win64 mozconfigs to match our Win32 mozconfigs, so that both of them have --enable-metro.  (Currently we are building with --enable-metro on Win32 but without it on Win64.)

Yes, this was what I meant. Apologies for the confusion.

We just need to find some time to test, then we can turn this on in the 64-bit builds.
