Ok, I missed some obvious points, though not documented in the Notes
file. These probably answer FReD's question too.

First, the tool-wrappers have embedded in the source the paths they use 
to find the shunt include files. So, before running buildtools.bat first
change the paths SHUNT_LIB and SHUNT_INC in toolpaths.h to the values
for your build pc.

Second, the shunt is not only include files, but also libraries. Which
are not yet built in the standard mozilla source package, so this has
to be done manually. The easy way: open the file shunt.vcw in 
SOURCE_DIR\mozilla\build\wince\shunt\build. It should open Embedded
Visual C++ 4.0 . Select Win32 (WCE ARMV4) Release from the target list.
Press F7 to build, et voila. You could also make the Debug release,
but then you would have to change SHUNT_LIB in toolpaths.h again.

These steps made the make command actually finishing the configuration. 
( I had to install the zip package from cygwin, but that's unrelated to 
the build process ).

Note: you actually have to start the build process first, then copy the
two autoconf.mk files and then start the build again.

Next problem:
C:\devel\lgo\mozilla\test-arm-build>make
----

---------

So I'm stuck again. This seems to be an ongoing saga, but I thought to 
post it here so others might not make the same mistakes I do.

Lieven.
