Using under Vista

[Sergey Parfenyuk]

Hi,
I've tried to build sample from source code but faced with some
problems. I'm not an expert in bat files and in Python. But the fact
is that Windows Vista doesn't recognize slashes in path string (error
occurs during scons running). So I replaced them with backslashes and
then I had a fun from success :) Next, I think codegen.bat is likely
wrong written:

if not "%PYTHON"=="" goto :RUN
PYTHON=python.exe

Perhaps, it should be:

if not "%PYTHON%"=="" goto :RUN
set PYTHON=python.exe

No? :)

And, unfortunately, python haven't generate any file to end the
building of sample code. It return message: "Source files haven't
changed: nothing to generate". What reason of this situation?

Thanks for attention.

Hi Sergey,

Thanks for trying this. I will look at fixing some of the
windows-related bugs. The .bat change is reasonable. For the '/' vs
'\' in the scons files, I'm a bit surprised, because scons is supposed
to deal with the difference. Which version of scons are you using ?

The program keeps a hash of all the inputs, so that it doesn't
regenerate the output files if the input haven't changed. It keeps the
hash into the glue/hash file (inside the examples directory). Maybe
one of the runs produced the hash but not the files ? If you
completely delete the glue/ directory, it should work again.

Thanks,
Antoine

I use the latest version of scons - 1.2.0.

I think script has problems with this because it doesn't generate any file. Only 'glue' directory and nothing else. Deleting of this directory doesn't help.

Alright, I will try all this. Thanks !

I submitted a CL for review, this should be fixed soon.
I created a Visual Studio solution and project that should be easier
to use than scons on Windows.

Windows shows its buggy face again :) Please, correct post-build command lines as follows:

xcopy $(OutDir)\$(TargetFileName) "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Plugins\" /Y /I /F 

xcopy $(OutDir)\$(TargetName).pdb "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Plugins\" /Y /I /F 

If you haven't noticed, I added backslashes to destination directory. Otherwise it asks me about target dir despite the fact that /i parameter is set. I cannot understand why. 

Suprisingly it works! Finally I've saw it in action :) Thanks!

Great ! Good to know for the final \ (it worked for me on XP, but
possibly XP is different), I'll add that to the CL.

Thanks,
Antoine
