1062201 - mach build fails on Windows when genrb uses "-kC:/mozilla-build/msys"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1034594

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Adrian Aichner [:anaran]]

I was able to build on this machine (from fx-team git branch) back in June 2014.

 Today, after git pull, with a clean git status, I get this running
mach clobber
 followed by
mach build
 in a prompt started from C:\mozilla-build\start-shell-msvc2010.bat

I cloned this from
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=929310
to get product, component and other settings right.

Sorry, gps, I see the clone retained you as a mentor, which might be inappropriate.

I upgraded to
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/MozillaBuildSetup-Latest.exe (1.10.0) but the song remains the same...

This sounds a whole lot like bug 1034594. Are you sure your tree is up-to-date?

[Adrian Aichner [:anaran]]

Thanks a lot that info, Mike!

it seems I hadn't pulled right (git pull -u -v --all)

I got a lot of updated now using

git pull -u upstream fx-team # while on local branch fx-team

I'm glad I hit that bug, else i would have built myself the wrong firefox!

the build is still before that point, but I'm confident...

Anyway, I'll mark this a duplicate now.

genrb works fine now.
