The build instructions for NSS 3.3 are at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/buildnss_33.html . RC3 was using NSS 3.4, and today NSS 3.5 should be going into the mozilla 1.0 branch. The NSS 3.5 branch is NSS_3_5_BRANCH , which is what you want to use when pulling from cvs . Specifically when building 3.5 I pull as follows : cvs co mozilla/nsprpub cvs co -r NSS_3_5_BRANCH mozilla/security/coreconf mozilla/security/nss cvs co -r DBM_1_61_RTM mozilla/dbm mozilla/security/dbm Then I build like this : setenv NSPR_AUTOCONF 1 cd mozilla/security/nss gmake nss_build_all As far as your debugging platform, I would recommend you avoid Linux due to the lack of support of threads of the debugger. Both Win32 and Solaris have good debuggers. In any case, the code is the same accross platforms. -- "Except for the lack of debugging and the ps thing, [Linux] kernel threads are generally fine right now. And if you're not too fussed about the more fiddly details of POSIX threads, and your application doesn't spend most of its time in thread creation, then LinuxThreads is great too."
