Description

[Johnny Lee]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0
Build ID: 20180704003137

Steps to reproduce:

Using a Windows 10 machine with VS 2017.
Have Mozilla build tools and source. In start-shell.bat console, running command "./mach build".


Actual results:

After a few lines of config checks, the following error appears:

 0:37.23 mozmake.EXE: *** [client.mk:127: configure] Error 1


Expected results:

Mozilla should have compiled. I built Mozilla successfully a few months ago on this very same pc with no issues. Now, that I am trying again, I keep getting this error.

I just removed all previous build and source directories and started from scratch.
Now, I can build and run without errors.
