789794 - comm-central: failure to build because of missing mozilla/config/.deps

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 789837

(Thunderbird :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[ISHIKAWA, Chiaki]

I have noticed after refreshing comm-central tree using "python client.py checkout" that, removing the MOZ_OBJDIR directory, and then start afresh using make -f client.mk fails to proceed because of the following error, which seems to be caused by missing MOZ_OBJDIR/mozilla/config/.deps directory.

... from the build log: In my case, /TB-NEW/TB-3HG/objdir-tb3 is MOZ_OBJDIR


creating ldap/libraries/libutil/Makefile
make[1]: Leaving directory `/TB-NEW/TB-3HG/new-src'
make -s -C /TB-NEW/TB-3HG/new-src/../objdir-tb3

/TB-NEW/TB-3HG/new-src/mozilla/config/elf-dynstr-gc.c:1209:1: fatal error: opening dependency file .deps/elf-dynstr-gc.pp: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[5]: *** [elf-dynstr-gc] Error 1

make[3]: *** [tier_base] Error 2
make[2]: *** [default] Error 2
make[1]: *** [default] Error 2
make: *** [build] Error 2

After I create the .deps directory under
MOZ_OBJDIR/mozilla/config by

mkdir MOZ_OBJDIR/mozilla/config/.deps

compilation proceeds.

I suspect this is just a dupe of 789837 and no other manual work will be necessary

Thank you. Please make sure this is going to be the mozilla directory in comm-central, too, asap. Thank you again.
