Building JSS on Windows (some progress)

I posted previously and got a little further...



My build platform:

Windows 7 SP1

Visual Studio 2015u3

Mozilla-Build 2.2.0 (last version with start-msvc scripts)



My ENV-VARS:

OS_TARGET=WIN95

BUILD_OPT=1

USE_64=1

JAVA_HOME=C:/jdk1.8.0_152

What won't work:

VS2013 won't compile the newest NSS, don't know in what ver of NSS that happened.

VS2017 doesn't seem to work with Mozilla-build >3.0 to set up the environment (no compiler found) and won't work with Mozilla-build 2.2.0 out of the box. I tried to naively create a script that changed version to 2017 but that didn't work so quickly abandoned that idea.



I am able to successfully build the latest NSS/NSPR combo with above.



The build for JSS would originally blow up until I modified the start-shell script of Mozilla-build to manually add the full path to the output folder inside dist folder to the INCLUDE path.  (This is line 140 in start-shell.bat for Mozilla-build 2.2.0). The JSS build script is looking for files where it's building JSS in

dist\WIN954.0_64_OPT.OBJ

and my NSS/NSPR stuff was output into

dist\WIN954.0_x86_64_64_OPT.OBJ



BTW, I can't build the tip (another message to follow, this one is already too long) and I get an error about no make target for a file in JSS_4_4_20170501 so I backed up a little more to JSS_4_4_20170313 tag.



This got me a lot farther in the process but then I got a missing smime3.lib where it's again looking in the WIN954.0_64_OPT.OBJ not WIN954.0_x86_64_64_OPT.OBJ folder.



At this point, I copied all .lib files from the NSS/NSPR output folder to the location JSS is expecting.



And then I get this:

jss.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol Java_org_mozilla_jss_util_Password_readPasswordFromConsole
WIN954.0_64_OPT.OBJ/jss4.lib : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
make[1]: *** [WIN954.0_64_OPT.OBJ/jss4.dll] Error 96
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/sandbox/jss/lib'
make: *** [libs] Error 2



I feel like I'm alllllllmost there, but I'm really not a C coder and don't have any experience with the MSVC toolchain so if someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate the help greatly.



I also don't know if any of these problems are because the instructions say to use gmake which the Mozilla-build MSYS environment doesn't have.
