Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Attachment: build.log

I just tried a clobber build of Fennec on OS X using the same process that I've always used, and it failed during the package step. There were some errors and it also complained that ant wasn't installed. When did this change, and is it intentional?

Attached is the complete build output.

I ran into the same problem. Installing 'ant' fixed it.

If ant is now a dependency I can install it, but the wiki page with build instructions should be updated if that is the case. If it is a bug then it should be fixed. ni? to mcomella because lucasr said he would know what's going on.

This is the same thing I ran into - backout bug 971101 fixs me ... I'll try ant suggestion too

[Michael Comella (:mcomella) [NI reported issues only: ex-Mozilla]]

bug 971101 introduced building geckoview_example into the `mach package` step and it uses `ant` to build, so yes, I believe ant should now be listed as a dependency for building fennec.

sounds like we need a configure check for ant (also note that it must be 1.8.0 or later)

Bug is obsolete.
