[tools-dev] Windows Build Problem

[Herter, S.]

I have gotten all the way to running dmake and starting the build.  I am getting an error on the Mozilla part of the build.  I downloaded and placed the zip files and it is getting a strange error on executing the script file.  I am using the downloaded zip file for the source for 2.0.1.  I had the same problem with the downloaded zip file for the 2.0.0 source.

 

=============
Building project moz
=============
/home/build/oosource/OOA680_m1/moz
mkout -- version: 1.5
dmake:  extractfiles.mk:  line 204:  Error -- Expecting macro or rule defn, found neither
---* tg_merge.mk *---

 

ERROR: Error 65280 occurred while making /home/build/oosource/OOA680_m1/moz
dmake:  Error code 1, while making 'build_instsetoo_native'
---* tg_merge.mk *---

 

Here is an extract from the extractfiles.mk found in the $SRC_ROOT/moz directory.

NOTE: I put the (###) values in the email to denote the line numbers.

 

(200) # copy files in RES_FILELIST
(201) .IF "$(OS)"=="SOLARIS"
(202)      @+$(COPY) $(MOZ_BIN_DIR)$/res$/charsetalias.properties $(RUNTIME_DIR)$/res$/charsetalias.properties
(203) .ELSE
(204)      @echo No Res Files to copy.
(205) .ENDIF

 

I tried changing the @echo to echo, I tried placing double quotes around the "No Res Files to copy" and I even tried deleting the echo all together.  When I delete the line it just blows up on the next command with the same error.

 

I have two questions, one is what is the "extra functionality" so I can decide if this is even worth fixing or just us the no mozilla switch and two, any ideas on how to fix this?
