1903095 - macOS build fails with --disable-bootstrap

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Matthew Gaudet (he/him) [:mgaudet]]

ac_add_options --disable-bootstrap seems to break my ability to do macOS builds.

STR on f697ba433dda71a41fb879cc63e221cf5ef63ef5:

1. set MOZCONFIG to a file with ac_add_options --disable-bootstrap
2. Build

Expected Result:

If we had previously been bootstrapped, build succeeds.

Actual Result:

I suspect you're using --disable-bootstrap to disable updates? See https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/g/dev-platform/c/o9v8iLnfy6E/m/86iVXNZaAAAJ

(and yes, using system clang on mac doesn't work)

Whoops! I hadn't noticed that message when it went by and this was the first time I had built on a mac with one of my mozconfigs that had this hanging around. Apologies!
