Bug 74944 – Build with Visual C++ 2005 Express: print-vse-failure-logs script doesn't work with "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'find_checkout_root'"

• Status: NEW
• Component: Tools / Tests

I was trying to build WebKit on Windows XP.  I followed the instructions on http://www.webkit.org/ to the letter.  Console output is below.

===== BUILD FAILED ======

Please ensure you have run Tools/Scripts/update-webkit to install dependencies.

You can view build errors by checking the BuildLog.htm files located at:

Hi,

I am trying to build webkit on a Windows 7 x64 machine and am getting exactly the same errors. Can someone help out?

Thanks

Python error is not a root reason of build failure.

I filed another bug for this.
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102633

Missing find_checkout_root is another issue.
You can reproduce it by just executing following script.
$ ./Tools/Script/print-vse-failure-logs

This is a script to show build logs for Visual C++ 2005 Express.
Following Traceback is shown after build fails.
