Please try to downgrade the packages versions, remove node_modules and package-lock.json and run npm install
command again. Just to make sure that npm didn't cache the previous version.

I deleted the package-lock.json, node_modules. I checked again to have to right versions you said to have and did "npm install" but I stil get the error when doing "ng build --prod"

So I took my project, made a copy, and removed all my code other than the main app component. The app built. I then added my folders back in one by one until it broke.
Turns out, in one of my routes file, I had an issue where I was referring to a Lazy Loaded module which was incorrect. The error pointing to MDB I think is a red herring. I would try do what I did to find out which portion of your code is breaking it.

@mistergheraille That's really strange because downgrading these packages helped when I was debuggin this problem on the demo project you sent to me. We will take a closer look at that again and focus on modules imports.

@Arkadiusz Idzikowski thank you, if you find a fix for the problem let me know and if you could also send the project back via email, just in case i did something wrong when trying to fix.
Arkadiusz Idzikowski staff commented 5 years ago
@mistergheraille I sent you the project with updated dependencies. Please let me know if it works for you.
In case of any further problems please try different versions of angular/cli and angular/compiler-cli. Unfortunately we didn't find the cause of this problem yet. The error message doesn't provide us with useful information.

I did I ng --version and its says I have the right ones.
I cannot send the images in a comment so I have to write it as a comment to the post, maybe something to add for the future.

It looks like there is a problem with Angular CLI, we didn't make any breaking changes in the library recently. Please downgrade the versions of this packages to:
"@angular-devkit/build-angular": "~0.802.0",
"@angular/cli": "~8.2.2",

How can we reproduce that? Do you use MDB Angular free version (angular-bootstrap-md)?
Please paste here the content of your package.json, app.module (or any other main module in which you import MDB modules) and angular.json.
