Jean, There are hundreds of people that successfully compile mozilla every day. Instead of just bitching about not being able to compile, how about posting the build errors that you are getting so that someone can actually help your situation? I can personally walk you through the step of building xpcom and js, but before I do, you should completely read those two documents you cite. I have followed them myself can build successfully.
