Hey Christian,

Thanks that worked! 
I had downloaded wintools.zip but did not extract it. I was following
instructions to build XulRunner, I probably got confused with the
instructions in these 2 links
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Windows_Build_Prerequisites

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Windows_Build_Prerequisites_on_the_1.7_
and_1.8_Branches

The first one suggests VC 7 or later is the required compiler to build
mozilla 1.8 onwards, the 2nd one suggests VC6 service pack 6 for 1.8 or 1.7.

I guess gecko-sdk binaries are built using VC6. Anyway, this works well for
me.

Thanks again,

-Sandip

Shouldn't you use a VC6 libIDL/glib for the 1.8 branch? (i.e. wintools.zip)
