The following line is giving the error
if config.get('MOZ_BUILD_APP') != 'js' or config.get('JS_STANDALONE'):
os.environ[b'WRITE_MOZINFO'] = b'1'
from mozbuild.config_status import config_status
How to fix this one.
I ran into the same problem, and the existing solutions here didn't help me.
I had run ./bootstrap.py before, to install the system-level dependencies.
There is also a ./mach bootstrap step that creates a _virtualenv dir in objdir and installs the python modules there. Apparently it didn't consider my objdir configuration, so it installed in the wrong dir. Then the build somehow only half-created it.
I fixed it by deleting all _virtualdev, and starting ./mach build again. That then automatically set up _virtualdev correctly this time, and started the build correctly.
No need for ./mach bootstrap, it will be done automatically. Don't use make -f client.mk. It doesn't do all the bootstrapping. Just ./bootstrap.py and ./mach build should suffice.
