Current Trunk builds

[Andy]

Has anyone looked at the Trunk builds since early August at all? I
pulled the code (finally got mercurial to do something useful) but
haven't had a chance to do much with it yet. One of the patches from
the Gecko 10 line is for autoconf.mk.in... that file was there clear
back to when I was building with VAC but has now been all but removed.
I would surmise it is part of the python build process change but I
don't know precisely how its function was replaced.

How far did you get? Did you try running configure (without patches)?
Seems they're now sandboxing Python which means installing virtualenv
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv). Unluckily after installing it
the build still dies very early with,
checking for python... G:/PYTHON26/python.exe
Creating Python environment
PYTHONHOME is set. You *must* activate the virtualenv before using it
New python executable in /mozilla-central/obj-fb/_virtualenv/bin/python.exe

u'/mozilla-central/obj-fb/_virtualenv')

*** Fix above errors and then restart with "make.exe -f

So I guess we need virtualenv fixed for OS/2
