Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Landry Breuil (:gaston)]

My c-c buildslave fails to run configure since oct 30 (see http://buildbot.rhaalovely.net/builders/comm-central-amd64), likely caused by http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/2d96b3d096f2 

gmake -f client.mk configure

Use CONFIGURE_SUBST_FILES in moz.build files to create substituted files.

Tried after removing all .pyc files in src tree, trashing objdir, no success.
maybe a comeback of bug 781461, or a bug in gm4/our m4 (at that point, dunno which one is used) ?

Duh. Turns out i had a patch in mq fiddling with AC_OUTPUT(), labelled with bug 878661 so was probably a tentative debug patch. After removing it, configure passes fine. Sorry for the noise :)
