I recommend a 4+ physical core Ivy Bridge or newer i5/i7 CPU, 8+ GB of RAM
(16 GB preferred), and an SSD. If you work for Mozilla and don't have that
(e.g. you are building on a MacBook Air), please order a new machine right
now.
Anyone with less is going to have a bad time. I'm inclined to consid

I'm curious what the real disk space minimums are for Linux? Those

The most disk-heavy build configuration uses 7-10GB of disk space for

This was already implicit by making MSVC2013 the minimum supported compiler
(since the 8.1 SDK ships with it anyway), but it's now explicitly been made
a hard requirement in the build system as well.
Various code that was obviously conditioned on older SDK versions was also
cleaned up, but it's po
