Thanks for responding. I am doing this on a Surface Pro, Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit.
I already had Visual Studio 2015 update 3, so I used this, and downloaded the 
Cumulative Service Release.  I then downloaded Rust and the Mozilla/Build 
Package. I the opened the start-shell-msvc2015.bat.  Added the line 
PATH=$PATH:~/.cargo/bin to my bash profile. I then made the dir with mkdir 
mozilla-source
then went to dir.
cd mozilla-source. After this I ran: hg clone 
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central to clone the repository.  I had a couple 
issues but got that done.
Once that finished I went to the mozilla-central dir and ran mach build.  I 
first received an error(rust PATH was wrong) that I fixed.  Then I ran mach 
build again and received this error.  I hope this helps.
