Hi, I'm a newbie trying to get mozilla to build on my mac
After cloning the repo, whenever I do ./mach configure or./mach build I get the following error
I have followed these instructions ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Mac_OS_X_Prerequisites#Troubleshooting) to a tea but I've spent many many hours and still cannot for the life of me figure out what's wrong. My mozconfig file is exactly as they suggested, just without clang.
0:50.32 IOError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: u'/Users/jacqueline/config/autoconf.mk'
0:50.72 *** Fix above errors and then restart with "./mach build"
0:50.72 make[1]: *** [configure] Error 1
this error comes right after:
0:34.51 js/src> checking for valloc in malloc.h... no
0:34.57 js/src> checking for valloc in unistd.h... yes
0:34.64 js/src> checking for _aligned_malloc in malloc.h... no

where " /Users/jacqueline/#mozilla " is the path to my repo
Did anyone happen to see something similar? Thank you

Hi Jacqueline,

Is there an actual pound character ('#') in that directory name? If
so, that is likely to be the problem, since '#' is a meta character in
many environments (for example, it starts a comment in shell scripts
and python). If you try using a directory name that doesn't contain a
'#' character, things are likely to work better.
Cheers,
Botond

When I try to build now, i get :
$ ./mach build
0:05.11 Clobber not needed.
0:05.11 Adding make options from /Users/jacqueline/mozilla/mozilla-central/mozconfig
AUTOCONF=/usr/local/Cellar/auto...@2.13/2.13/bin/autoconf213

0:05.30 make[3]: rm: No such file or directory

0:05.30 make[1]: *** [build] Error 2
0:05.35 0 compiler warnings present.
make: *** [build] Error 2
So I tried to run ./mach bootstrap as maybe that might help me diagnose the problem and when I do, i get another error:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/jacqueline/#mozilla/mozilla-central/build/moz.configure/init.configure'
So perhaps theres files that are still pointing back to the "#mozilla" directory instead of my new "mozilla" directory ? Could that be why I cannot build too?
Do you know if there are any global vars that i have to reset/set?
I've tried setting MOZBUILD_STATE_PATH , MOZCONFIG and my .hgrc file to point to my new "mozilla" directory but no luck :(
Thank you very much!

There might be files in /Users/jacqueline/.mozbuild which reference

your old source directory. Deleting the /Users/jacqueline/.mozbuild
directory and then bootstrapping again might help in that case.
