707511 - Windows pymake srcdir builds: "config/autoconf.mk:346: *** Windows-style srcdir being used with GNU make. Did you mean to run c:/mozilla/inbound/js/src/build/pymake/make.py instead?"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 643167

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

Attachment: Build log

When building from topsrcdir (after rm -rf objdir & removing the generated configures from srcdir) using:
"python -OO build/pymake/make.py -s -f client.mk" 

I get the following error:
{
make.exe[3]: Entering directory `/c/mozilla/inbound/obj-i686-pc-mingw32/js/src'
config/autoconf.mk:346: *** Windows-style srcdir being used with GNU make. Did you mean to run c:/mozilla/inbound/js/src/build/pymake/make.py instead? [see-also: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gmake_vs._Pymake].  Stop.
}
(Full build log attached)

Strangely the build continues and completes successfully (which I presume is another bug).

If instead I build from the objdir (which is one level above srcdir) using: "python -OO ../inbound/build/pymake/make.py -s -j3 -f ../inbound/client.mk", then the error doesn't appear.
