Trying m90 again

Hi Eric,

I decided to take a step and go with 680_m90 since I had originally
tried that. This time I will compile with Mozilla 1.7.5 per your
instructions. If it doesn't work, then I will next try m96.

Because I had quit my old Terminal shell from when I first tried m90
several days ago, I got a new one and then tried to pick up where I
left off. So, I re-configured with the --enable-mozilla argument to
configure, then I went to mozilla.org and got the 1.7.5 (
mozilla-source-1.7.5.tar.gz ) and copied it to:

680_m90/build/moz/downloads

Then, on the command line, per your m90 build instructions, I changed
directory to:

$ cd 680_m90/build/moz  (essentially steps 6 and 7 combined)

Then, step 8:

$ build

I get:

-bash: build: command not found

I have the feeling I lost some shell environment variables or
something when I quit my old Terminal shell. Maybe I need to start
over again from the clean m90 source? Or did I do something in the
wrong order (do I need t first run ./bootstrap and then cd to moz and
build mozilla with "build")?

Also, if I am starting over again with clean m90 source, do I need to
repeat the step of installing Archive::Zip as in:

$ cd ~/Desktop/680_m96/build
$ perl -MCPAN -eshell
cpan> install Archive::Zip

Thanks for your help. I have never used CPAN before so its yet another
new thing to learn about in the world of multitudes of open sources. I
find it amazing that people can keep track of all of these open source
projects (mozilla, CPAN, gtk, Linux, gnome, etc, etc., etc.).

Cheers,

Sergio
