help with typelib support

[Alistair Leslie-Hughes]

Hi,

This msxml bug requires the TYPELIB resource to be added.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11257

I modified the followng file as follows.

Makefile.in
IDL_TLB_SRCS = msxml3_v1.idl

msxml3_v1.idl    (new File, with a single line)
#include "msxml2.idl"

version.rc
1 TYPELIB LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE msxml3_v1.tlb

The issue I am seing is the msxml3_v1.tlb is not being created.

Output.
../../tools/widl/widl -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -I/usr/include/libxml2 
   -I/usr/include/libxml2   -D__WINESRC__ -DCOM_NO_WINDOWS_H  -t -T 
msxml3_v1.tlb msxml3_v1.idl
../../tools/wrc/wrc --nostdinc -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -I/usr/include/libxml2 
   -I/usr/include/libxml2   -D__WINESRC__ -DCOM_NO_WINDOWS_H  -foversion.res 
version.rc
version.rc:26:47: Error: Cannot open file msxml3_v1.tlb

Any ideas on what is wrong?

Best Regards

Either you didn't remake the Makefile by running make from the toplevel 
dir or the dependencies weren't picked up, in which case a "make depend" 
should fix things.

Hi Rob,

When I modify an Makefile.in, I always run; configure && make depend from 
the root before trying to compile.

The think ths issue is that widl isnt making the .tlb file when run.  Also 
when I run the widl command from
a prompt, no .tlb file is created.

I can generate a patch if that would help debugging.

msxml2.idl doesn't contain any library definitions.  widl won't generate
a typelib unless there is a library defined.

Dan,
  Spot on.  Now it at least compiles.

Thanks
