Recently I've gotten the urge to download the Mozilla source and see
if I could lend a hand. Or at least poke the code with a stick and
learn some stuff.
I've followed all the instructions to set up my EMX/gcc environment
properly (or so I believe I have), downloaded the latest snapshot,
pulled the latest code from CVS and then as per instructions deleted
the existing configure and nsprpub/configure files.
So far, so good.
I move on to the "gmake -f client.mk build_all" portion, and things
kick into motion as autoconf is run and the configure files, etc. are
generated. As it plunks its way down through checking dependencies, I
get as far as:
checking for jpeg_destroy_compress in -ljpeg... no
checking for zlib.h... no
checking for png_get_valid in -lpng... no
checking for mng_initialize in -lmng... no
SYS1002: CONFDEFS.H is an incorrect parameter for the command.
creating ./config.status
creating build/unix/mozilla-config
creating config/autoconf.mk
configuring in nsprpub
running sh.exe ./build/autoconf/configure --prefix=/MOZILLA/dist
--cache-file=.
././config.cache --srcdir=.
./build/autoconf/configure: ./build/autoconf/configure: No such file
or director

configure: error: ./build/autoconf/configure failed for nsprpub
*** Fix above errors and then restart with "gmake.exe -f client.mk
build"
gmake: *** [/MOZILLA/Makefile] Error 1
[KILGORE|e:/MOZILLA]
I seem to recall mention that there was currently trouble with the EMX
nsprpub, so is this what I'm seeing right here?
Most definitely the error that there is no ./build/autoconf/configure
is accurate, but is that what is causing the error, or is that a
symptom of a failure in configuring nsprpub that happens before that?
Of course, the line stating: SYS1002: CONFDEFS.H is an incorrect
parameter for the command.
draws my attention rather quickly, too.
Is this a problem with my configuration, or a Mozilla "problem", or
something new and interesting altogether?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
