Thank u for the reply.

Sir ,

I checked my machine for disk space problems but there are none.
What kind of security problems are u suspecting. can u please explain??

When u said build was terminated  and file was incompletely built. u are
talkin about the xpcom.dll file.

Well ,

actually i have not been able to build the full mozilla source. so i thought
first i will build the sample from xpcom itself.
I moved all *.idl files required into sample directory  . used xpidl
compiler to generate the necessary header files and then ran nmake in the
xpcom\sample directory
Also it searched for  some files in the directory  ..\..\dist\WIN32_O.OBJ\ ,
so i obtained them from the mozilla talkback version and then put them in
the directory.

the files were xpcom.dll,plc4.dll,   put them in
..\..\dist\WIN32_O.OBJ\lib\
                     xpidl.exe,xpt_link.exe   put them in
..\..\dist\WIN32_O.OBJ\bin\

After doing that i ran nmake which finally gives me the error saying that
(xpcom.dll) invalid or corrupt file.



Also please tell me what do u mean by
clobber  and depend.

Thanks in advance

Regards
Pras
