Many thanks for the suggestions - changing Cygwin configuration from
'Unix/Binary' to 'DOS/text' did the trick for me.
What's strange is that it used to work and (to the best of my
knowledge), nothing has changed on my dev box - same Cygwin, same MSVC
install, same checkout, same .mozconfig. The only thing I can think of
is that I did a Windows update recently in case there were some security
updates and that may have changed something. Seems unlikely though.
Maybe it was a full moon that day or something :)
Cheers.
I'm guessing you're using Cygwin + MSVC? Well I had the same problem
recently (no idea what actually triggered it, mind), but there are two
solutions I know about:
- I've seen it suggested that reinstalling Cygwin in text-mode for files
has fixed this for some people.
- I did the following:
- find all configure files, and look for "(set)"
- replace with "(set | dos2unix)"
- make sure dos2unix is installed (I think it is part of basefiles for
Cygwin, so should be)
- remove any config.cache files, as this will have been "infected" by
the failed build
- start building as normal
I'll probably get lynched for the second solution, but hey - I didn't
change anything and the build stopped building, and that is what fixed it.
