Windows 10 SDK builds

Unread post by **Moonchild** » 2019-08-30, 09:24

We're looking into switching to the Windows 10 SDK as main SDK to build against (as opposed to the currently-used 8.1 SDK that comes with VS2015).
With the setup complete I created (32-bit) binaries, and I'd like to call on your help to give these a test run before I make it official for releases.

(please disable updates in the downloaded browser if you want to test this so you're not getting new unstable builds pushed)
I'm particularly interested to know of any adverse effects on Windows 8 or Windows 10.

I build with Windows 10 SDK since 2019 beginning, seems all fine on win7-8.

That really doesn't help.

Not possible. The build would have failed if you were actually trying to build UXP with the Windows 10 SDK.

FWIW, I was testing this build on my Windows 7 machine yesterday and didn't run into any major issues during routine browsing. I don't have an 8 or 10 setup that I can test with, though.

Why would you use the windows 10 sdk for a winxp browser?

For win8 was windows kits\8, i started use newer ewdk and there was windows kits\10, and version is 10.0.17763.0, what sdk is this?

Sorry, I misremembered something... the build won't fail, but it definitely won't use the Windows 10 SDK without the patch that I just put in. Check your config.log for yourself:

Code: Select all

checking for Windows SDK... 0x0603 in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\'

You might be thinking of the Windows UCRT SDK, which is different.

Well he IS Fedor2 after all. What did you expect? A correct perception of reality?

You know better than that, Ascrod.

NTR with moderate usage on W7x64.

Windows 7 was already covered by my own use

Thanks though!

Yes it does check the version, but why this is a problem, i have such output and no other remarkable difference.

Code: Select all

checking for Windows SDK... 0x0a00 in 'C:\Dev\Windows Kits\10\'

But if you ment mozzilla build tools, so i manually set there to use another compilers and sdk, because i do not use any new visual studio only 2013 express.

I have used the release on Win 8.1 for 4 days now with no adverse effects. Copied the profile from my Win 7 machine with 87 add-ons enabled and all UA overides. Was going to try on my Win 10 in a VM but it somehow got corrupted.

Thanks Bill, now that is something I can use as opposed to all the other fluff posts in this thread so far.
