In BLFS systemd version 8.0 I'm trying to compile Firefox both in

in a running X windows.
I get this error in chroot:

client.mk:114: *** missing separator. Stop.

I _think_ I saw that myself a few weeks (or months) ago, but I
didn't make a note of it. That suggests it was something obvious,
such as editing the mozconfig and doing that badly.
What happened was the kind of thing that results in airliner crashes --
a series of unusual events. ...
I was finally able to compile Firefox and Thunderbird, but with some
trouble.
I first compiled Firefox in chroot in Fedora, using:
SHELL=/bin/sh make client.mk
This compiled with no errors, but the install command failed:
SHELL=/bin/sh make -f client.mk install INSTALL_SDK=
This gave an error that I didn't understand, so I started X twm and
tried the same command in an xterm. It again failed. So I clobbered the
firefox-51.0.1 directory and started over. Everything worked as
expected, and Firefox is now running.
After Firefox was up and running in X twm, I compiled Thunderbird in
chroot, using:
SHELL=/bin/sh make -f client.mk
This compiled without errors, but the install command failed:
SHELL=/bin/sh make -f client.mk install INSTALL_SDK=
I could not understand the error, so I went back to X twm and tried:
make -f client.mk install INSTALL_SDK=
This ran without errors. But I was antsy about the compile, so I
clobbered the thunderbird-45.7.1 directory and started over. There were
no compile or install errors, and Thunderbird now works.
It seems that compiling Firefox and Thunderbird in chroot may have some
risks. Any comments?
