我正在尝试在 Linux Mint 18.1 上构建 Firefox 51.0.2 的稳定（发布）版本。
我收到一条奇怪的错误消息，但无法找到有关其含义的任何信息。./mach build失败并出现错误，ERROR: old-configure failed。
我在网上找到的唯一答案是，当没有 mozconfig 文件时可能会发生这种情况，但我有一个。我还验证了用于构建的用户具有对整个源代码树的读写权限。
在错误之前的几行，有这样一行：
js/src> /bin/sh: 1: ./config.status: Permission denied
但我找不到该文件，并且目录上的所有权限都应该允许读取和写入。
有人可以告诉我为什么会出现这个错误吗？
构建命令的最后几行输出是：

0:16.41 js/src> Creating config.status

答案1
由于这个错误，如果构建目录的路径太长（超过 103 个字符），configure 将无法找到config.status.解决方法是将源代码放在较短的路径中，例如home/you/firefox并在那里构建它。
