I just noticed that this only happens when I have

mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-@CONFIG_GUESS@

in my .mozconfig. If I leave it out, Mozilla builds fine.

reproter - do you think this is a valid bug since you have a work around?

Comment 3

[Stephan Niemz]

Yes, I think it's a valid bug. When I go to the configurator
(http://webtools.mozilla.org/build/config.cgi), I can choose an object
directory, which adds that "mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=something" to my
.mozconfig. But when I do that, Mozilla won't build. So I think that object
directory feature is broken. Sorry about the confusing summary and
description, but the bug was already submitted when I figured this
workaround out. And I don't know if it's working now, I haven't tried again
yet.

ah, objdir building has been iffy for quite some time.  cc'ing leaf for a 
history lesson.

Comment 5

[Daniel (Leaf) Nunes]

it only takes one makefile.in to be screwed up for objdir to get broken, the fix
is usually pretty trivial, it just takes someone looking at it.

[Stephan Niemz]

    I just was about to look at it, but I don't get the error any more
after a checkout today. So I assume it's fixed now and I'm changing the
status of this bug accordingly.
