Re: build problems

Hi Wan-Teh,

thanks for your suggestion. Now the build goes fine with cygwin.

I also want to build NSS. So i downloaded nss-3.11.4-with-nspr-4.6.4.
Now, after your suggestion, i have built NSPR-4.6.4 successfully.

But doing the nss-3.11.4 build according to the 
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/nss-3.11.4/nss-3.11.4-build.html 
FAILS.
I do this build from a windows command line using the Netscape wintools.

Can you suggest something by looking at the above error log.

Thanks
