I am struggling with the requirejs optimizer and non AMD modules

Question

I am struggling with the requirejs optimizer. This code will work if I just load it in the browser without optimization. If I run the optimizer I get

: ENOENT,

See mainConfigFile. This was put into place so you do not have to copy your require configuration into runtime/optimize-time files, keeping your build DRY:

//By default all the configuration for optimization happens from the command
//line or by properties in the config file, and configuration that was
//passed to requirejs as part of the app's runtime "main" JS file is *not*
//considered. However, if you prefer the "main" JS file configuration
//to be read for the build so that you do not have to duplicate the values
//in a separate configuration, set this property to the location of that
//main JS file. The first requirejs({}), require({}), requirejs.config({}),
//or require.config({}) call found in that file will be used.
mainConfigFile: '../some/path/to/main.js',
