Re: PSA: Avoid Visual Studio 2017 15.7.0
Consider instead building with clang-cl: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Building_Firefox_on_Windows_with_clang-cl If you build with clang-cl, you can keep the newest (gecko-incompatible) version of MSVC installed, which is particularly useful if you build other modern codebases.

Make sure you also disable the autoupdate in the task scheduler! "VSIX Auto Update 14 under Microsoft VisualStudio".

PSA: Avoid Visual Studio 2017 15.7.0
Yesterday, Microsoft released Visual Studio 2017 15.7.0. Unfortunately, it is currently not usable for building Firefox due to bug 1458247 (internal compiler errors in WebRTC code). The bug was already reported and confirmed upstream during the 15.7 preview cycle, but unfortunately the final release still shipped with the bug present. At this point, there are no workarounds available for this issue, so avoid the update if you want to be able to continue building Firefox. -Ryan ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
