So I woke up on Saturday and headed in to school, set on having a productive, useful day and make some progress on my bug.
However, I could not get Thunderbird to compile. The error was related to a data type defined in the Windows 7 SDK, and was in a file i had not modified. So I began my quest to resolve it.
One of the first things I did was to check the SDK version windows was set to use. It was set to v6.0A. I have no idea why it was set to that, but it was wrong so I fixed it. Still didn't compile though.
Fast forward six hours. Still not compiling and I'm pulling what's left of my hair out in frustration. I was talking to sid0 on irc though and he mentioned a useful bit of information. The console checked the SDK version on startup, so it had to be restarted if the version was changed. Which I did six hours ago. Sure enough, restarted the console and it worked.
So pretty much my whole Saturday was wasted on a something that took a total of 30 seconds to fix. I hope I get more time to work on this this week.
