Inkscape x64 build fails on Windows

[Patrick Storz]

I just tried to build Inkscape (r14386) using information from
    http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows and
    http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows_64-bit

I have the latest devlibs (r53) and devlibs64(r17)

While the 32bit build works fine, the 64 bit build fails on "parameter.cpp" with the following error:

Make error line 0: error executing 'bzr revno': bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "E:/Temp/Downloads/Inkscape/build/inkscape64/".

Make error line 0: error executing 'bzr revno': bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "E:/Temp/Downloads/Inkscape/build/inkscape64/".

Also works around some odd compiler segfault.

I can confirm that this patch fixes building on my system. Thanks!

[Patrick Storz (ede123)]

This does not happen with the current trunk code anymore, so it was most likely fixed, probably by http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/revision/14546

Shall we close it Liam?

Needs clarification whether a patch is still required for current trunk with latest (r18) or future 64bit devlibs (an update of the devlibs with newer versions provided by partha is still pending).

[Patrick Storz (ede123)]

Inkscape builds fine with the previous devlibs64 (r18) as well as after the major devlibs update in r19 (as mentioned in #3)

The only reason the patch might be still needed is the compiler segfault mentioned in #1.
However I was never able to reproduce it (neither with gcc 4.9.x which was the previously recommended compiler for devlibs64 nor with gcc 5.3 which is the currently recommended compiler).

Unless Liam has more input on how to reproduce it, this issue is therefore fixed.

[Patrick Storz (ede123)]

The initial issue is fixed, so I'm closing this bug.
