Repackaging Mozilla ActiveX control to include MSVCP60.DLL?
The Mozilla ActiveX control download feature is cool and all, but until we repackage the sucker to include MSVCP60.DLL to fix http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4064 it's going to leave a lot of users scratching their heads as to why it keeps asking where its files are. I could have sworn I saw somebody post a note saying they had done said repackaging, but I can't find it now... Can somebody take care of this? It's kind of important. I would, but I'm zooming around getting my CS 130 project going, preparing a couple talks for Scale 4x, chasing after my two year old, and trying to hold down my day job... For the curious, my slids for the cs130 kickoff talk are up at http://kegel.com/wine/sweng/cs130/ I chose "add a feature to riched20.dll " as the basic task the students will be trying to carry out. No idea yet how it'll work out. - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

Hi! I was Just wondering. Is there at all a MinGW build system for the "Mozilla ActiveX control"? I guess not so the Question is: Any body knows what are the Main hurdles for that? Is that mainly COM TLB(s) related? or there are other problems? Ge van Geldorp wrote:

There's a bug in Mozilla.org's bugzilla [1] to get Mozilla to compile with GCC/MingW on Windows, which is a related problem. One problem is that there's currently no working open source replacement for MIDL.EXE, though Wine's widl seems to be improving gradually thanks mainly to Rob's work.

I've built Firefox with MinGW, but never tried to rebuild the control (I only repackaged it). GvG
