Cannot build CODA

Development
1

I tried to follow the advise from Miklos Cannot run presentation in office build from online/engine - #4 by vmiklos . However, the instructions on Build Collabora Office for Windows | Collabora Office - Community Page are not really suitable for me because I have already installed WSL, Ubuntu and Visual Studio. Building engine works with that environment.

Nevertheless, I have started with a new clone and then tried the part Build Collabora Office for Windows | Collabora Office - Community Page.

make starts, but then I get the error

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v180\Microsoft.Cpp.ClangCl.Common.targets(235,5): error MSB6006: "clang-cl.exe" exited with code -1073741511. [C:\colwsl9\collabora-office\windows\coda\CODA\CODA.vcxproj]

Do you need further info? Do you have already tips, what might be wrong?

-1073741511 is 0xC0000139, which is STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND. It is unclear what could be the actual cause - but I guess that something in your installation makes clang-cl.exe load wrong DLLs.

Is there a way to narrow down the problem further?

I suspect a problem with ccache. The toplevel make is a simplistic one, so to workaround it, you may manually edit your `/online/windows/coda/config.props`, and find the entry looking like

  <PropertyGroup Condition="'C:\colwsl9\...\ccache-shim' != ''">
    <CLToolPath>C:\colwsl9\...\ccache-shim</CLToolPath>
    <CLToolExe>clang-cl.exe</CLToolExe>
  </PropertyGroup>

If it’s there, just delete the whole PropertyGroup, and try to run make again.

If needed, we could arrange a screen sharing session, and I would try to help resolving it?

That does not help.

That would be great. However, I have never done such and would need assistance in that.

Three changes were created as a result of the call we had:

https://gerrit.collaboraoffice.com/c/online/+/10054

https://gerrit.collaboraoffice.com/c/online/+/10055

https://gerrit.collaboraoffice.com/c/online/+/10056

Thank you - together we improved it a bit more :slight_smile:

I have removed all the local changes that were made during the call and made a git pull -r. Now I want to make a clean build. How to do that? When working in engine I would do make clean. However, make clean does not work in co-build from were building will be made with make.

I would suggest to rename the old build directory, create the new empty one, copy there the autogen.input file, and check that it works from scratch. Just to make sure that every step, all confugures and the whole sequence works.
