Re: nss build problem: could not open file certdata.c

As Tim said said, the old Makefiles should work fine.
If you want to try the new builds system on Windows you need to install gyp
[1], strawberry perl [2], and ninja [3], and add them to the path. We work
on making the new system easier to use on Windows. But for now installing
those dependencies should work.
