I give up...can you guys point me to some directions for this?
I've installed the latest mozilla-build, VS2008 Express SP1, the latest
windows SDK (7.1) and I'm just not getting too far in this process.
Linux is sooooo much easier!
I start up the shell with the start-msvc8-x64.bat script, which doesn't
seem to do/be anything different from start-msvc8.bat.
The 64-bit compiler seems to be installed from the SDK. If possible I'd
like to target from XP 64 on up as far as compatibility, but I'd settle
for having it run on my workstation only which is Win7 64.
I read this:
http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/How_To_Build_Windows_x64_Build, but it
seems it's more browser aligned than just NSS. The part "Note that
--target and --host have to set x86_64-pc-mingw32 due to no uname.exe
for x64. " seems important, but there's no mozconfig file that I can
find to alter the host and target.
I've hacked the path so when I type cl I get the right one:
$ cl
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 16.00.30319.01 for x64
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
But I don't get too far in make nss_build_all before it blows up (I'm
guessing because host/target/build system type are all 32bit?):
