Status: RESOLVED INVALID

Attachment: Build output showing the error

I'm building for SGS2 on my iMac on OS X 10.8 and am getting an erroneous error claiming my perl version is too old. Attached is the build output.

I have Perl 5.12.4, so that's not true at all, as per:

MacXTreme:sgs2 sheppy$ perl --version

Also, I pulled the latest mozilla-central and it builds fine, so it does appear to be a b2g-specific build issue I'm having. And building the emulator works fine as well.

This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 4 (v5.12.4) built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Weird that this only happens for a device build.. something seems fishy

Can you attach objdir-gecko/config.log?

Comment 3

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

That folder doesn't even exist. I'm very confused by this.

Comment 4

Can you rerun config.sh and make sure it completes successfully? Also, the contents of .config can be helpful.

Comment 5

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Problem is, config.sh fails if your device already has b2g on it.

Turns out my build system was completely borked. I'm not sure how it happened; it had been working fine. Anyway, I flashed my device back to ICS and started over with ./config.sh galaxy-s2 and it seems to be building now, so I'm closing this.
