Error MSB6006: "cmd.exe" exited with code 5 - File: Microsoft.CppCommon.targets

Hi everyone,

I am trying to build a plugin project using VS 2010 on Win 7 32 bit with Firebreath 1.7

I am getting the following error after the build fails (release or debug mode, same result)

Error MSB6006: "cmd.exe" exited with code 5 - File: Microsoft.CppCommon.targets

<CustomBuild  <---- Error occurs here

      Sources                     ="@(CustomBuild)"

      BuildSuffix                 ="$(BuildSuffix)"

      TrackerLogDirectory         ="%(CustomBuild.TrackerLogDirectory)"

      MinimalRebuildFromTracking  ="%(CustomBuild.MinimalRebuildFromTracking)"

      TLogReadFiles               ="@(CustomBuildTLogReadFiles)"

      TLogWriteFiles              ="@(CustomBuildTLogWriteFiles)"

      TrackFileAccess             ="$(TrackFileAccess)"

      ToolArchitecture            ="$(CustomBuildToolArchitecture)"

      TrackerFrameworkPath        ="$(CustomBuildTrackerFrameworkPath)"

      TrackerSdkPath              ="$(CustomBuildTrackerSdkPath)"

      AcceptableNonZeroExitCodes  ="%(CustomBuild.AcceptableNonZeroExitCodes)"

      >

</CustomBuild>

Also, when I look into the build output I can see there is a pdb file that cannot be found !

Build Output

I am following exactly the same steps and instructions in the project readme and firebreath tutorial though !

Any help would be appreciated !

Thanks in advance.

Hi again,

Just an update - the error could be the next line (not the pdb file): 

20>  Generating ../../bin/proj/Release/proj-0.0.2.10-Win32-unsigned.xpi

20>  Access is denied.

It seems the newly generated unsigned xpi file cannot be accessed (or perhaps has not been generated !)..

Any help would be appreciated guys ! :)

Thanks.

It looks like the error is with the XPI creation; you should be able to comment out the lines in your projectDef.cmake file that create an XPI and I suspect it will then work.

Thanks for your help Richard. Unfortunately, it did not work. I removed the XPI section in projecteDef.cmake but got the same error - when building - but with .crx !

Any ideas please ?

Thanks.

[Richard Bateman]

Remove the entries for chrome extension creation (.crx)

Thanks for your reply Richard and sorry for the delay (was out of office).

Should I remove the XPI and CRX entries from the PluginConfig.cmake too (in addition to projectDef.cmake) ?

Thanks.

[Richard Bateman]

Those are just configuration, so it shouldn’t matter.

[Hicham Seffendji]

Ok, thanks Richard.

It actually worked so now I do not have XPI or CRX errors... However I have one last error which I am pulling my hair out about. I do not know if it is more related to 7Zip or if it is a problem that may happen in a Firebreath-generated solution when trying to build in VS 2010.

If that was something related to Firebreath I would be happy to get some hints :)

Thanks in advance.
