After the recent changes for VS2012 and Windows 8 SDK support, where the rebase tool apparently is not so easily available any more, there were build problems with our "standard" toool-chain (VS2008 and Windows SDK 7.x), so Fridrich and I decided to kill all the rebasing stuff. --tml ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

Again, I wonder how essential / useful this whole rebasing thing is any more in this day... But yeah, I know that suggesting we stop doing it will bring up arguments that essentially say "if it might be useful for even one percent of our userbase, we should keep doing it". Anyway, this issue is not simply one of only whether to rebase DLLs or not (to be non-overlapping by default in the address space) after building, before creating the installer. See http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@openoffice.org/msg15650.html . We still to that un-rebasing at installation time (on the more current Windows versions), don't we? --tml ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

dbghelp.dll fails on rebase (on Windows)
So, recently I started getting REBASE: dbghelp.dll Rebase failed. Signed images can not be rebased. Error: rebase failed with exit code 99! dmake: Error code 99, while making 'REBASE' during postprocess when the build tries to rebase a whole bunch of dll's. This is on Windows 7. The only way out of this is to try to find an older, unsigned version of dbghelp.dll and put that into solver. But that's not a permanent solution. Does anyone else know of a way around this?
