I’m trying to compile Xulrunner with Python support, since the version in the repos doesn’t seem to support it. I’m follow this guide. When I run ‘make -f client.mk build’ in step 4, I get the following message:

I’ve done some searching, but I can’t seem to find a solution. Any idea what I’m doing wrong here?
My ultimate goal is to build PyXPCOM, because the “python-xpcom190” package in the repo seems broken (I can’t import xpcom.) All of the guides I’ve looked say/imply that a version of Xulrunner with Python support is needed to build it. (here and here)
