1) Checking that no Mozilla-related environment variables have trailing
whitespace
2) Remove anything not needed by Mozilla from your path (eg. Oracle)
3) Put your NT directories (C:\WINNT\..) at the *end* of your path
4) Using only the standard NT CMD.EXE command shell (in case you're using
something else)
I always use a special command line session under NT to build Moz, and have
a batch file (run when I click its icon) to set the necessary environment.
I've attached it as a reference for you (it definately produces a working
build environment), but obviously for my own directory structure.
I've found that it is sometimes a bitch to figure out what to do to fix
build problems, but its always possible to make it build once you suss the
problem(s), and things are then generally OK for future builds with new
source.
Cheers,
Chris
