Hello,

I never get it compiled (neither xpcom nor mozilla though). My primarily
goal was to create some server stuff based upon XPCom and the JScript
engine... I finally did it with Microsoft stuff... At least there is
some documentation on how to do things...
I spend a few hours trying to understand how to compile xpcom... read
thousands of posts and web pages through google... Most of those just
redirect you to :
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpcom/doc/xpcom-standalone.html
or
http://www.mozilla.org/build/
which where of no use to me... Whatever i tried was a failure :-(
I tried using ms vc++ 6.0 and through a cygwin complete install...
Since i didn't get much time to go through all makefile files trying to
understand the way it work, i just left it.

Well, Mozilla is a huge project and maybe someday someone will get
enough time to write some documentation...
(I'm a bit disapointed on that matter... that can explain the bitter
mood of my answer)

So if you find out how to compile it, just tell me... :-)
