Why is mach failing on mozconfig processing when I try to build fennec?
I doubt I'm asking this in the right place, so a redirect to the correct forum would be as much appreciated as an answer.
I'm trying to build Fennec using OSX. I've followed (and rechecked) the instructions on MDN three times, and yet mach immediately fails with this error:
Error running mach:
['build']
The error occurred in mach itself. This is likely a bug in mach itself or a fundamental problem with a loaded module.
Please consider filing a bug against mach by going to the URL:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Core&component=mach
If filing a bug, please include the full output of mach, including this error
message.
The details of the failure are as follows:
MozconfigLoadException: Evaluation of your mozconfig exited with an error. This could be triggered by a command inside your mozconfig failing. Please change your mozconfig to not error and/or to catch errors in executed commands.
File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/troy/mozilla-central/python/mach/mach/main.py", line 265, in run return self._run(argv) File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/troy/mozilla-central/python/mach/mach/main.py", line 351, in _run instance = cls(context) File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/troy/mozilla-central/python/mozbuild/mozbuild/base.py", line 528, in __init__ dummy = MozbuildObject.from_environment(cwd=context.cwd) File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/troy/mozilla-central/python/mozbuild/mozbuild/base.py", line 165, in from_environment config = loader.read_mozconfig(mozconfig) File "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/troy/mozilla-central/python/mozbuild/mozbuild/mozconfig.py", line 196, in read_mozconfig raise MozconfigLoadException(path, MOZCONFIG_BAD_EXIT_CODE, lines)
My .mozconfig is this:
ac_add_options --with-android-ndk="$HOME/intava/AndroidSDK/android-ndk-r8e" ac_add_options --with-android-sdk="$HOME/intava/AndroidSDK/sdk/platforms/android-16" ac_add_options --enable-application=mobile/android ac_add_options --target=arm-linux-androideabi ac_add_options --with-ccache
I must be making a newbie mistake, but for the life of me, I can't find it. I'm running Mavericks and got the latest XCode (5.0.1) from the app store. All my Android SDK components are versions specified in the MDN instruction page.
Thanks for any help out there.

Feel free to hop into #mobile on irc.mozilla.org and we'll sort out your build issues there. This isn't the appropriate forum.
You could also post to https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mobile-firefox-dev if being on line when the Americas and Europe are awake is inconvenient.
In addition https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android#Mac_OS_X tends to be more up to date than DevMo.
