Hi all,

I ran into the following error while trying to build fennec on my Ubuntu.

Here's is my .mozconfig file,

ac_add_options --with-android-ndk="$HOME/Dev/android-ndk"
ac_add_options --with-android-gnu-compiler-version=4.6
ac_add_options --with-android-sdk="$HOME/Dev/android-sdk"
ac_add_options --with-android-version=5

ac_add_options --enable-application=mobile/android
ac_add_options --target=arm-linux-androideabi
ac_add_options --with-ccache=/usr/bin/ccache

mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=./objdir-droid
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j9 -s"

This is the first time I'm building firefox, really appreciate any help to fix the issue. Thanks in advance.

You need to indicate the platform subdir with the SDK level you're
targeting. (Needs to be 16 or higher right now)

So this probably needs to be:
ac_add_options
--with-android-sdk="$HOME/Dev/android-sdk/platforms/android-16"
