[ros-dev] widl problem importing stdole2.tlb

[Steven Edwards]

Hi,
I've been attempting to sync some of the Wine dlls, namely the IE
support dlls and have run in to a bit of a problem which I think is a
bug in ReactOS widl. It seems that the import keyword is not working.
When trying to build shdocvw.dll it creates a shdocvw_v1.tlb based on
shdocvw_v1.idl which imports exdisp.idl from the SDK which in turn
does an import ("stdole2.tlb")

As you can see from the output below
sedwards@mini-gimli:~/source/reactos$ make shdocvw
[WIDL]     obj-i386/dll/win32/shdocvw/shdocvw_v1.tlb
error: Could not open importlib stdole2.tlb.
mingw32-make: *** [obj-i386/dll/win32/shdocvw/shdocvw_v1.tlb] Error 2

Total Build Time: 00:00:02

Notice the . at the end of stdole2.tlb? I've tried just renaming the
typelib and putting it in several intermediate folders to no effect.
If any WIDL Guru can help please find the attached patch which
contains an updated shdocvw.rbuild

Thanks
Steven
