Firefox Windows Build Error

Post by rn10950 »

I've been trying to build Firefox for the first time for a few days now and everything I try, including deleting the obj directory I keep getting these errors:

Because of 4GB limit, mozilla windows build bash uses a VC2013 AMD64_x86 cross compiler toolchain, so I suggest you should use x64 OS.
