hi again! i tried to build it. but at some part it began to have errors. i have both nsprpub and security folders.

You need:

  mozilla/nsprpub
  mozilla/dbm
  mozilla/security/nss
  mozilla/security/coreconf
  mozilla/security/dbm

though it looks like you are running into something else.

i build it in windows xp.

first there is this command line warning about ignoring an unknown option, it stated a file named, now.c, under the config folder. then command line error : missing source filename.

For Windows, I find the easiest way to get the right environment is to follow the mozilla instructions for installing the compilier and tools. You don't need all the toolkits mozilla needs, but I usually install them anyway.

NSS is not as sensitive to compilier versions as mozilla. I think some NSS developers still build with msvc 6.0. I have built with msvc 9.0 recently.

        Yes.  pk11mode is used in NSS's ongoing QA testing for FIPS
        compliance.
        pk11util is not used in that testing (AFAIK) and I don't know
        what state
        it's in.

    I use it as a diagnostic tools when getting pkcs #11 modules up
    and running, particularly new ones. It's particularly useful
    because it's a lot smaller harness for finding out why a
    particular module doesn't operate correctly.
