Trying to build Firefox on Android by referring to this page. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Simple_Firefox_for_Android_build

However, the build command ./mach build fails with the error 

ERROR: Could not find autoconf 2.13

However autoconf is already installed on the system.

Here's the pastebin of the error. http://pastebin.com/8q2uFtvK

To build successfully, does it specifically require autoconf 2.13?


Thanks.

Yes. Autoconf 2.13 has features that were removed from autoconf. Though in the future development questions should go to https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mobile-firefox-dev as this is an end user support forum.
