1720761 - Cannot run `mach bootstrap` in Kali Linux

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Bootstrap Configuration, defect)

Description

[Anuj Gautam]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:90.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/90.0

Steps to reproduce:

When building firefox from source in Kali Linux, the environment is not set up correctly in Kali Linux. So, mach fails to build and run firefox.

1. Fetch Firefox source code.
2. Run mach build on Kali Linux to build from the source.

Actual results:

1. The mach build command says that the environment has not been properly set and to run mach bootstrap.
2. The mach bootstrap command gives you the following message to indicate bootstrap system for Kali Linux has not been implemented:
   `NotImplementedError: Bootstrap support for this Linux distro not yet available

Expected results:

The mach bootstrap should run to completion and properly set the environment. As Kali Linux is a port of Debian, Debian configuration should work on this.
