Trying to build Firefox on Android by referring to this page. 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.

$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69

Here's the pastebin of the error.

Thanks.

On my Ubuntu 16.04 VM, had autoconf 2.69 installed. However, to successfully build Firefox for Android autoconf 2.13 is required.

Resolved it using the following :

$ sudo apt-get remove autoconf
$ sudo apt-get install autoconf2.13
