Firefox 81 build failure on -current
by rpedrica from LinuxQuestions.org on (#58FYB)
My last successful build for Firefox with the -current build scripts was 80.0.1. 81.0 now fails with:
.....
chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink './obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/_virtualenvs/init_py3/lib/python3.6/keyword.py'
chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink './obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/_virtualenvs/init_py3/lib/python3.6/_dummy_thread.py'
chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink './obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/_virtualenvs/init_py3/include/python3.6m'
which: no python in (/root/.mozbuild/_virtualenvs/mach/bin)
This mach command requires /root/.mozbuild/_virtualenvs/mach/bin/python, which wasn't found on the system!
Consider running 'mach bootstrap' or 'mach create-mach-environment' to create the mach virtualenvs, or set MACH_USE_SYSTEM_PYTHON to use the system Python installation over a virtualenv.
I initially thought this was a bad source archive so downloaded it again but same issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Robby
