[cosmic-users] CoSMIC_Release_Build

[Marianne Rieckmann]

Further to this problem,
When proceeding with the %COSMIC_ROOT%\Installer\README instructions, the following error is produced when building the CoSMIC_Installer.sln

Any advice about building CoSMIC.MSI.msi would be appreciated.

Subject: [cosmic-users] CoSMIC_Release_Build

    CoSMIC VERSION: 0.8.4

    HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows7 32bit

    TOOL/AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED: Installer, CoSMIC_Release_Build solution

    DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:  mwc.pl build of Visual Studio solution, and compilation?

    SYNOPSIS: Building the CoSMIC_Release_Build, some projects are skipped as they require zlib, even though zlib is installed and environment variables are set.

    DESCRIPTION: With the latest version of CoSMIC downloaded from git, the cosmic.mwc will produce a solution with the PICML_Package and PICML_PackageComponent projects. This solution compiles and works.

But when trying to build the release (ie %COSMIC_ROOT%\Installer\CoSMIC_Release_Build.mwc) the following results are produced from the mwc.pl

MPC_ROOT was set to C:\CUTS\\MPC.

    REPEAT BY: %ACE_ROOT%\bin\mwc.pl -type vc9 -features zlib=1 CoSMIC_Release_Build.mwc

    SAMPLE FIX/WORKAROUND: Since building cosmic.mwc works okay, I am concerned that zlib is not used by the Installer CoSMIC_Release_Build.mwc and that some projects are skipped.
Has anyone built a release msi recently?
If there is a recent COSMIC.msi available, the workaround would be to download and use that rather than building it again.
