Re: Problem on building NSS with Windows

This is an issue with the shell's inability to run "pwd.exe". 
It may be either a built-in shell, or a separately configured shell.
What is the value of the SHELL environment variable, if any ?

See
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Choosing-the-Shell
for more details.

"shell pwd" is what's used in the NSS build within coreconf to find the absolute path for source files - ie. this is the change that was made 10 years ago.

quickder.c is the first source file to be compiled in NSS, which I originally authored.

I'm really confused by this issue.
If run "pwd" by manual in that command prompt, I didn't get any error or
warning.
It did work well.
