If you are not using VS2017 I suggest you stay with 2.3 for the time being.

Also not sure if SDK 10.0.15063.0 is compatible. The layout changed. I recommend 10.0.14393.795 right now which I know works with both VS2015 and VS2017. If this fixes it please file a bug against core.

If you have VS2015 installed try 

ac_add_options --with-visual-studio-version=2015

in your mozconfig

I have VS2015 but ac_add_options --with-visual-studio-version=2015 has no effect.

I try mozilla-build 2.2.0 from https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozillaBuild
Where i can download version 2.3 please ???

But now with this error ... :-(

checking for the Leanplum SDK key... no
checking for llvm-config... not found
ERROR: Could not find LLVM/Clang installation for compiling stylo build-time
bindgen.  Please specify the 'LLVM_CONFIG' environment variable
(recommended), pass the '--with-libclang-path' and '--with-clang-path'
options to configure, or put 'llvm-config' in your PATH.  Altering your
PATH may expose 'clang' as well, potentially altering your compiler,
which may not be what you intended.
*** Fix above errors and then restart with\
               "c:/mozilla-build/mozmake/mozmake -f client.mk build"
client.mk:360: recipe for target 'configure' failed
mozmake: *** [configure] Error 1



I install C:\Program Files\LLVM\

But how to and where set (concretely) please LLVM_CONFIG or '--with-libclang-path' and '--with-clang-path' and 'llvm-config' ???

Thank You

Sorry I meant 2.2.0. 2.3.0 was a prerelease for 3.0.

Add 
ac_add_options --disable-webrender
ac_add_options --disable-stylo

to the mozconfig.
