1655340 - Cannot find autoconf 2.13

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Dale Harvey (:daleharvey)]

Had this reported to me, after a successful ./mach bootstrap on a fresh ubuntu install the build failed with "Cannot find autoconf 2.13" - https://pastebin.com/7kH2dugR for the full log

I tried to reproduce and ran into the same error, sudo apt install autoconf2.13 let the build resume

Sorry, what's the bug here? Sounds like you needed to install autoconf2.13 which is a build requirement, and then when you installed it everything worked fine? This sounds like everything is working as intended to me.

I think the bug is that mach bootstrap didn't actually install autoconf2.13 like it was supposed to?

There we go, thanks for the pointer, that makes perfect sense. Maybe I should stop triaging first thing Monday morning. :)

This got trampled in an overzealous code deletion in bug 1647814.

The patch landed in nightly and beta is affected.
:rstewart, is this bug important enough to require an uplift?
If not please set status_beta to wontfix.

For more information, please visit auto_nag documentation.

This is a bootstrap change, so we don't need to uplift.
