A previous time, I had received the conflict message, but was gung-ho
to try compiling Mozilla so I continued following the instructions
(removing the configure and nsprpub/configure) files and then doing
the gmake. After a while, the build would stop with an error.
I had chalked this up to being the conflict at the time. But now that
I see it was simply the two configure scripts causing the conflict I
looked a little more closely at my setup. Poking around, I tried to
make certain that I had the proper tools from the proper packages
installed (looks like I had the wrong awk, for all the difference it
makes).
I 'cleaned' the distribution, and then re-ran gmake. This time it
proceeded quite far until it faltered compiling nsModule.cpp with the
following output:
./../../dist/include/nsIAppShell.h:44: warning: sorry: semantics of

tion static data `const struct nsIID iid' are wrong (you'll wind up

Now, I have personally come to the conclusion that Mozilla most likely
just hates me. Of course, that in turn just makes me want to get it
working more than ever. I read about others getting the EMX version
to compile without difficulties, so I'm starting to ponder if I should
just clean the EMX environment off my machine and reinstall it and all
the needed tools from scratch just to eliminate the possibility of
other weirdness.
Of course, it's late, so maybe that's an idea best left until
tomorrow!
