This bug tracks creating a browser build job for mingw-clang. While Bug 1434316 is not yet completed, it will build off of that. Because we initially will get this working with --enable-stylo, it will be based on esr60 and then when we have stylo working we'll rebase it for -central.

As of this writing, the following patches are required on top of esr60 as they are not landed yet. This work should be based off of them however. Bug 1434316 - all four patches from that Bug 1389967 - a patchfile you can 'curl ... | hg import -' is at https://hg.mozilla.org/try/raw-rev/11f3c5a704a4db1d44705b453cce97cd4769d72f Bug 1411401 - I haven't gotten around to cleaning up this patch for inclusion in MinGW so I'm just using a local version for now Bug 1460620 Bug 1448748 - a patchfile you can curl is https://hg.mozilla.org/try/raw-rev/def054a2d36bbffaa55157f065a54e775c5bf21e Timeout Prevention - a patchfile you can curl is https://hg.mozilla.org/try/raw-rev/7fc18bf32d89 Once you have those, the following command should produce a successful working build: ./mach try -b do -p win64-mingw32 -u none -t none After that take Bug 1465798 (this is the mingw skeleton toolchain job) and the skeleton patch attached this this bug and run ./mach try -b do -p win64-mingwclang -u none -t none to build the mingw-clang based browser. (Currently this will fail, you'll need to look at the patch here and edit the mozconfig as needed.) If for some reason you need the build machine to have additional tools, the Dockerfile is here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/taskcluster/docker/mingw32-build/Dockerfile In general, only system tools (like patch) should be installed there, if it's a library you need that could be created in the mingw-clang toolchain job (or a separate toolchain job). But you can edit the Dockerfile and stick something there for testing purposes.

No. Until we get the build working with stylo, this build will be esr60 only. > ::: taskcluster/ci/build/windows.yml:786 > (Diff revision 1) > > + worker-type: aws-provisioner-v1/gecko-{level}-b-linux > > + worker: > > + docker-image: {in-tree: mingw32-build} > > + max-run-time: 7200 > > + env: > > + PERFHERDER_EXTRA_OPTIONS: "opt 64 clang" > > Do we even want to record anything on perfherder for these builds until > they're tier 1? Well, until we enable tests for (any) MinGW build - nothings going to go to perfherder anyway. This variable is needed to make sure that when stuff does go to perfherder, that the results don't get mixed with anything else. As for whether or not we should allow one to run Talos tests for (any) MinGW build - I suppose that's a question for the patch that enables tests :)

This variable is needed to make sure that when stuff does > go to perfherder, that the results don't get mixed with anything else. Perfherder gets numbers about build times and things like that, no? Otherwise I'm unsure of how specifying PERFHERDER_EXTRA_OPTIONS on a build job would magically carry over to the test jobs from said build job. Regardless, if things work, things work! I'm not super-picky about this.

I still need to investigate that further. This config also needs a gecko change: https://hg.mozilla.org/try/rev/75dd9075c56e2d565efa2acac922b2a2fe6cd75f I will create a bug about that and share more thoughts there. > ::: browser/config/mozconfigs/win64/mingwclang:67 > (Diff revision 1) > > +OBJCOPY=/bin/true > > +STRIP=/bin/true > > +LDFLAGS="-Wl,-s" > > + > > +# Silence verbose and mostly inaccurate warnings. > > +CXXFLAGS="-Wno-incompatible-ms-struct" > > This should go in warnings.configure.

Comment on attachment 8987512 [details] Bug 1465800: Create a skeleton MinGW-Clang Browser Build job [Approval Request Comment] This is one of several MinGW Build patches I'd like to land in esr60 for Tor. It will prevent them from carrying their own patches for the lifetime of esr60 and will enable us to keep the MinGW build functioning and know if/when/how it was broken by new commits into esr60. This commit affects only MinGW builds, so it is low risk.

The updated version uses -S (aka. --strip-debug) for stripping.

Comment on attachment 8987512 [details] Bug 1465800: Create a skeleton MinGW-Clang Browser Build job I'm obsoleting this as I need to submit a new version that's been rebased for -central. Basically the same thing though.
