Problem making installer build

Well, I finally managed to get a successful build. However, when I try to run the "make installer" command, I get this error:

Code: Select all

could not open /cygdrive/c/mozilla/mozilla/browser/installer/windows/instgen/installer.cfg: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [installer] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/mozilla/mozilla/browser/installer/windows'
make: *** [installer] Error 2

I checked my local tree, and yes installer.cfg is present in the location mentioned by the error. Any idea why it would be coming up?

I think you are building on Windows, right? I'am building a zip and an installer version, and i noticed that if i use activstate perl to build the installer, it failed. If i use cygwin perl then it is working. So set the path after building to something like path=c:\cygwin\bin;%path% then the installer is working. My command to build the installer is: make -C C:/mozilla/mozilla/browser/installer.

Sure enough, that did it!

Hmm, I wonder if we should file a bug report on that or if there's a mistake we're both making.
