Error 1 when building Pale Moon for Windows x64

Unread post by Theresnothinghere » 2023-08-03, 13:13

Hi, I've just tried to compile Pale Moon for windows x64 following this guide https://developer.palemoon.org/build/windows/
first with the AVX config and than with the default .mozconfig (with just the Visual Studio paths changed) and both attempts failed with this error:

Which MozillaBuild version are you using?

Hmm that should work, however I have not attempted this in a Windows Server environment, let alone server 2016 (which is the very first iteration based on the Win 10 cycle, and may not necessarily work all that well for software development - it's not exactly its intended use-case).
You may want to try and create a new VM using a recent version of Windows 10, instead.

@Nuck-TH in the AVX thread said that they were compiling on Windows 10 LTSC which is AFAIK 1809 (older than 1909) so the version I use should work too.
All I do is:
1. install fresh Windows 10 1909
2. probably unrelated but install vmware tools and disable diagtrack telemetry
3. Connect to the internet
4. Intall Git, MozillaBuild 3.4
5. Install studio 2022 checking desktop c++ game, c++, python and both Windows 11 SDKs on the right panel
6. Dowload palemoon source using git and put .mozconfig there
7. ./mach build

.mozconfig file:

Code: Select all

# Tell the build system if we're building 64-bit.
# Set this to `BUILD_64=1` for 64-bit, leave as-is for 32-bit
BUILD_64=

if [ -n "$BUILD_64" ]; then
  BUILD_ARCH=x64
  ac_add_options --target=x86_64-pc-mingw32
  ac_add_options --host=x86_64-pc-mingw32
else
  BUILD_ARCH=x86

Edit: Ok, I didn't specify in mozconfig that its 64 bit this run, but it's not causing the problem because in AVX config it was ok

[SOLVED] Error 1 when building Pale Moon for Windows x64

Unread post by Theresnothinghere » 2024-03-25, 16:29

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=30142

The original topic has closed itself and I cannot reply there, but in the meantime i've managed to solve the problem.
To make building work I had to change Windows locale from Polish to English US. I you are troubleshooting the same issue make sure you change the locale not only in the Settings app but also in the "Administrative Language Settings" ("Administracyjne Ustawienia Języka") window.

The whole error is likely caused by the fact that in Poland ',' is a decimal separator instead of '.'

The 2 topis can be merged and marked as solved now.
