Re: build problems

Hi Wan-Teh,

I am now trying to build NSS3.11.4 with MozillaBuild.

But NSS3.11.4 is dependent on NSPR4.6.4 and needs its include and lib files.

So when i start start-msvc8.bat from MozillaBuild, the include files and lib 
files are not set properly and i always get

make[2]: Entering directory 
`/c/WORK/Software/nss-3.11.4-with-nspr-4.6.4.tar/nss

make: *** [libs] Error 2



Now, I am trying to set the INCLUDE and LIB environment variables so that 
the NSPR include and lib files are picked up correctly.

But somehow, using "export" or using "set", I have been unsuccessful till 
now.

Is there any other way to make NSS pick up the correct NSPR include and lib 
files?

Thanks
Vinu
