Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Martin Lavelle (hypercaust) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: SourceName Inheritance failing Initial Comment: Hi, The enclosed build.log (Excerpt) and the source file Appware.wxs, show the linker unable to find files. Some of the directories have had their names replaced by non-sensical 8 character long names, which I 'think' are being derived by the hashing the parent directory's Id? The directories in question usually/always have name clashes with other directories (their names are not unique). The source file (appware.wxs) was originally generated by Heat.exe, and then cleaned up. This bug can be worked around by inserting FileSource declarations on the directories whose names are getting mangled by the linker (light). I have tried and failed to replecate this bug with a small example. Perhaps my sample was too simple or small? The original files are unnecesary in order to replicate this problem, as the linker will report some silly paths if no media is present. Just Link to the ComponentGroup in the samples, and look at the paths of the files. It would be nice if Heat had the option of not making one component per file. Better yet if it handled the choice based upon the file extension/name. A SourcePath declaration for every file really bloats out the non Fragmanted files like this, though it does cure this bug... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1824809&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
