Ehsan, I CC'd you as I see a whole bunch of unified sources entries. I don't know if that's related, but I thought it best to get you in the loop anyway.

This issue is currently blocking me from doing work on my Windows 8.1 box. I *could* downgrade back to Windows 8.0, but I'd have to figure out how and I don't know for sure that that'll fix my problem.

My build env:

"Mozilla tools directory: C:\mozilla-build\"
Visual C++ 9 Express directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9
.0\VC\
Visual C++ 10 directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\

Windows SDK directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\
Windows SDK version: 8.1
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 x86 tools.
Using the Windows 8.0 Developer Kit
Mozilla build environment: MSVC version 10.

I tried with both pymake and mozmake; same difference.

In my .mozconfig I have:

ac_add_options --disable-installer

That's all. `mach configure` finishes without a hiccup.

Comment 2

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

This is likely due to spaces in the path to the direct x sdk.

Comment 3

[(no longer active)]

Yes, and that is not related to unified builds.

Comment 4

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

I tried installing the DirectX SDK to 'C:\DirectX', which didn't fix it. :(

Comment 5

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

Do I need to put the Windows SDK in a directory without spaces?

Comment 6

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

The following fixes this issue for me:

  * Remove the Windows 8.1 SDK I installed myself. (tried a build after this, but it failed again.)
  * Remove the Windows 8.0 SDK I installed myself.

At this point, no additional SDKs were present on the system. I clobbered & built m-c... it finished!
The build even worked.

This is all fine and dandy, but currently I can not compile metro fx. Not that I'm planning to, but still...

Comment 7

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

Follow-up: re-installing the 8.1 SDK, to a directory that does not contain spaces, makes the build fail again.

This *might* be a mozilla-build issue, because it's determined in telling me that it's "Using the Windows 8.0 Developer Kit", instead of 8.1.

So, for now, I think we should advice devs to not use the 8.1 SDK.

I also encountered this issue.
Note: VS2013 works.

Setting MOZ_MAXWINSDK works. I think it should be added to start-msvc10.bat unless the underlying problem is fixed.

Comment 11

[Masatoshi Kimura [:emk]]

Attachment: Set MOZ_MAXWINSDK for MSVC10 to avoid build failure with MSVC10 + 8.1 SDK

Backed out since this bug was dupe of bug 924657.

I encountered the bug using MozillaBuild 1.8.0. Sorry for the confusion.
