Actually after comment from Michael Stahl. I've rewritten this change from scratch. Now it's smaller and should be easier to review. > > > * Python 3.5 upgrade is needed to support new compiler: [3].

OK, so we've moved old external/python3 directory to python33. This location is only used with old (default VS 2013) compiler. > >Can someone check why Jenkins job on this > platform is failing: [4]? > > If fails because python3/Mac/Makefile.in has changed and does not > install pythonw in the framework anymore. Thanks. Fixed. There is one problem with MSI, merge module. During the installation, runtime DLLs are installed in wrong directory: [1]. Workaround is to install redist package manually: [2]. Next steps: * merge pending changes in gerrit: [3] * set up Tinderbox with new compiler and upload binary artifacts * ask QA folks to test * migrate other tinderboxes to use the new compiler * rise compiler baseline and discontinue support for VS 2013 * drop old python33 directory * [1] https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/1746644/microsoft-vc140-crt-x64-msm-merge-module-installs-c-c-runtime-dlls-in-x32-folder * [2] https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 * [3] https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/q/status:open+project:core +branch:master+topic:vs-2015 _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
