With the patches from bug 1289949 and bug 1290026 applied, we should be close to being able to do a full build with msys2 without setting PATHs and such, but at the moment it still fails during configure with the message in the bug summary. The reason this happens is that contrary to mozilla-build, msys2 comes with a link.exe tool in /usr/bin, from GNU coreutils, conflicting with MSVC's link.exe. The way the PATH is set with the autodetection from bug 1289286, /usr/bin always ends up before MSVC's detected path (because we actually want any MSVC that was in the PATH prior to our autodetection to still be used).
Blocks: 1290616
Now that check_prog, through find_program, returns paths that the build system can handle, we don't need MT to just be "mt.exe". However, we still need the PATH to be altered for the other tools we're not checking in python configure yet (e.g. midl). We also still need PATH altered for the compiler itself, because for e.g. the amd_x86 version, a necessary DLL is in the amd directory, which means PATH always needs to be altered for cl.exe.

This ensures we have a full path to link.exe from MSVC in LD, avoiding to use /usr/bin/link on msys2. Review commit: https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/68088/diff/#index_header See other reviews: https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/68088/
Comment on attachment 8776182 [details] Bug 1290040 - Make find_program return short paths automatically when paths contain spaces on Windows. https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/68084/#review65212 ::: build/moz.configure/util.configure:74 (Diff revision 1) > + def GetShortPathNameW(): > + wintypes = ctypes.wintypes > + GetShortPathNameW = ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetShortPathNameW > + GetShortPathNameW.argtypes = [wintypes.LPCWSTR, wintypes.LPWSTR, > + wintypes.DWORD] > + GetShortPathNameW.restype = wintypes.DWORD > + return GetShortPathNameW > + > + GetShortPathNameW = GetShortPathNameW() There are 3 uses for the `GetShortPathNameW` symbol here. This is horrible to read. Can you eliminate the inline function and just do a `GetShortPathNameW = GetShortPathNameW()` at the end? ::: build/moz.configure/util.configure:75 (Diff revision 1) > + # Until the build system can properly handle programs that need quoting, > + # transform those paths into their short version on Windows (e.g. > + # c:\PROGRA~1...). > + if platform.system() == 'Windows': > + def GetShortPathNameW(): > + wintypes = ctypes.wintypes Apparently this fails on automation...
