|./mach boostrap; ./mach build| are supposed to be enough as long as you stick to a simple or empty .mozconfig[1]. Documentation usually goes directly to bugzilla.mozilla.org then dogfed to ports if affected. With constant influx of new build issues writing about them elsewhere or sitting on patches just doesn't scale. I'm no longer building and upstreaming regularly, so things got out of whack. A not-so-quick buildtest revealed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1228208 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1228227 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1228230 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1228255 The obvious hint: be prepared to deal with minor breakage. [1] Non-default configurations are infested with even more issues e.g., o --disable-pulseaudio doesn't build without --enable-alsa o --enable-system-sqlite doesn't build without --with-system-nss o --enable-system-cairo crashes with OMTC enabled o --enable-jemalloc crashes without "export MOZ_JEMALLOC4=1" o --enable-rust crashes with system jemalloc
