I'm currently trying to work with NSS for Mac OS 9/X in the old shared lib format .shlb (not mach-o dynamic library .dylib ).
It seems there has never been a binary distribution available in that format.
Release 3.4 claimed Mac OS 9 and Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 5 in the supported platforms, but at the same time said : "Due to a lack of resources, our team was unable to build and test NSS for the Macintosh platform". The text of the release stayed the same until the support was switched to Mac OS X.
I tried to compile from the source, but there's really some help missing, and it seems they are many elements missing that are only in the mozilla source.
Was it ever possible to compile NSS for Mac OS 9 independently from Mozilla ?
The short answer: No. The problem is NSS uses a common build environment for all it's platforms. On windows we load either MKS or cygwin. On unix we use native tools, on Mac OS X we use the Unix style tools. There was a point in time where I tried to find a Windows or Linux cross compilier for Mac OS 9. Metrowerks has a Mac Compilier Cross that ran on windows from their IDE, and a windows compilier which ran from the command line, but their Mac Compilier never ran from the command line, so we were never able to get a Mac OS 9 build from our NSS build environment.
