hum, '/' instead of '-'... Yes, I figure that out already.
I now understand what the error means. I apparently have to install
VCRedist_x86.exe as explained here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235299.aspx
I managed to download and install it even though Microsoft server is
_very_ slow. I still get the same error as before :-(
I should reboot maybe...
This page from mozilla explains how to create a package using VC++ 2005:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/VC8_Build_Instructions
Creating a Redistributable
If you intend to distribute your build to others, you will need to
include the VC runtime with your build. To get the mozilla build system
to do this automatically you must copy the four files:
* Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
* msvcm80.dll
* msvcp80.dll
* msvcr80.dll
from the directory %VCINSTALLDIR%\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC80.CRT to a
directory somewhere else on your system. The important thing is that the
path to this directory must not contain any space characters. Now when
you build, set the WIN32_REDIST_DIR environment variable to the absolute
path of this directory. The path can be in either Windows or Cygwin
format, it doesn't matter. Fairly early on in the build process you
should find that the four files listed above have been copied (and
modified slightly?) to the dist/bin directory of your build.
Manually copying the files to dist/bin may work, but perhaps not, since
the manifest needs to be altered I think.
