Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 928929

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Hammond [:markh] [:mhammond]]

If I try and build mozilla-central with mozmake, the build fails with the following error:

24:33.02 mozmake.EXE[5]: *** No rule to make target 'test-dir/', needed by 'libs'.  Stop.
24:33.02 o:/src/mm/mozilla-hg/mc-socialapi-landing/config/recurse.mk:99: recipe for target 'testing/mochitest/chrome/libs' failed

24:33.04 984 compiler warnings present.

If I move mozmake.exe away so the configure process can't find it, then clobber and rebuild, the build succeeds.  I can reproduce this in multiple working directories, both of which hg reports are completely clean.
