The winsdk build fails because an icon file is missing. The file is absent from source tarball qpid-cpp-mrg-0.7.946106-7.el5 The file was added to qpid trunk by tross on July 8, URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=961962&view=rev The other files from r961962 are present, only the icon is missing.
That commit was also pulled into the release branch in git: http://mrg1.lab.bos.redhat.com/git/?p=qpid.git;a=tree;f=qpid/cpp/src/windows/resources;h=fcaf758344b95e82becbf384cc566fbba51f3ee9;hb=mrg_1.3.x I suspect the issue is that it is a binary file being added via a patch. We may need to come up with a special way of handling that...
This issue is resolved. Source kit 0.7.946106-9 has the file.
