Hi Henry; Thanks for the advice.
Well, I muddled around some more and didn't really have a great deal of luck. So all things considered, I decided to start over clean, wiping out my mozilla source directories, verifying my build environment (including upgrading to the 'new' autoconf linked from the build page) and giving it another go. This time, though, I downloaded the source from release 0.9.5, with the idea that it might be more "clean" than a nightly build; or at least more chance of indicating what I'm doing wrong. On this new endeavor I believe I've gotten a lot further; it goes through the build process and doesn't return with an error and gracefully returns to the command line. But alas, I'm not left with a mozilla.exe at the end of the process. The steps I took this time: open an OS/2 CMD session run "setmozenv" rm configure rm nsprpub/configure rm directory/c-sdk/ldap/configure gmake -f client.mk build_all At this point, I watch the make go through the process of running autoconf, building the configuration files and then producing all the make files. After that, it launches into the task of compiling. I let it play nicely by itself for a few hours, and when I return I've got a pleasing looking command prompt waiting for me... but no mozilla.exe to be found. I do a straight "gmake" just to make certain that it had completed everything. Still no mozilla.exe, so I run the 'gmake export' and then 'gmake install' (just to cover all the bases). Alas, nada. By the time I'm done I have the following left to me: Directory of F:\programming\mozilla\dist\bin 10-28-01 4:20p <DIR> 0 . 10-28-01 4:20p <DIR> 0 .. 9-29-01 5:20p 220 0 bloaturls.txt 10-28-01 4:29p <DIR> 0 defaults 10-28-01 5:19p 7588 0 dirver.exe 10-28-01 5:59p 69897 0 lots.exe 10-28-01 6:02p 1374572 0 mozjs.dll 10-28-01 4:16p 13134 0 nsinstall.exe 10-28-01 6:17p 616476 0 nspr4.dll 10-28-01 6:17p 27722 0 plc4.dll 10-28-01 6:17p 18628 0 plds4.dll 10-28-01 4:44p <DIR> 0 plugins 4-10-01 12:24a 984 0 startup-test.html 10-28-01 4:22p 174996 0 xpidl.exe 10-28-01 4:22p 64006 0 xpt_dump.exe 10-28-01 4:22p 58004 0 xpt_link.exe Just the most important file missing. Curious!
