(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Gerald Squelart (he/him) (not at Mozilla since 2022-09-15)]

On Windows 10:

$ ./mach build
...
0:21.18 checking for the assembler... C:/PROGRA2/MICROS1/2019/PROFES1/VC/Tools/MSVC/14261.288/bin/HostX64/x64/ml64.exe
0:21.19 checking for rc... not found
0:21.19 DEBUG: rc: Trying llvm-rc
0:21.19 ERROR: Cannot find rc
0:21.27 *** Fix above errors and then restart with
0:21.27 "./mach build"
0:21.49 mozmake.EXE: *** [client.mk:115: configure] Error 1

It happened after pulling https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/log/d1de0bdfee4f , which includes bug 1537703.
I tried clobber and bootstrap.

There is a ~/.mozbuild/clang/bin/llvm-rc.exe.

Mike, could you please have a look? Please ping me if you need more info.
