MozillaBuild 2.1.0 includes autoconf 2.68. I am wondering why we didn't go all the way to autoconf 2.69. Is autoconf 2.69 not ported to Windows yet?
2.68 was the last version made available for MSYS1. Unless we want to try building it ourselves (which has its own complications), we'll have to wait until the switch to msys2.
Depends on: 1100925
Ryan: I thought that might be the reason. It's not worth trying to build it ourselves because most of the configure.in scripts in the Mozilla source tree still use autoconf 2.13. Thanks for the reply.
This isn't something that MozillaBuild is ever going to support.
