Let's say it's better to clean out when you re-run configure. If I only change the languages that should be created in the end I do not clean out everything. When I decided to use --with-system-epm instead of --with-epm=internal I do make clean out. Cleaning the sources is done with damke clean in the root directory of your building folder. E.g. if you use build --all in instsetoo_native you have to go up one directory and type dmake clean. > If a build goes wrong, is it best to clean it out with a make clean, > before starting again ? Yes. At least delete the unxmacxi.pro in the module folder. >> Building mozilla from source requires GTK-development and other libraries >> like glib.

The download folder is the wrong folder. It's moz/zipped. Just checked it on the wiki build instructions and they state it's moz/zipped for pre-compiled Mozilla packages. > It's a good job I'm used to building other stuff on FreeBSD, else I'd > have lost patience by now :-)) The first time is most likely the hardest time :-). I needed about three days up to a week until configure wouldn't stop with an error when I wrote the build instructions for SRC680. A lot changed since 1.1.x and there were only me, Eric Bachard and some other brave ones who made SRC680 ready for Mac OS X and while updated build instructions for other OS were available nobody had taken care to do so for Mac OS X. And once I had them for SRC680 I changed them on a daily base :-) First I fixed all my typos, then what I forgot etc. An with every thirty Milestones or so I complete overhaul needed to be done.
