I'm trying to have few mozconfig files and build the firefox in debug mode.
The problem is that I'm running on Windows Vista and that is a big problem.
In session 5, I will delete everything and just try to follow step by step, detail by detail the lab, but I'm afraid it will happen again since when I tried to use the "run as administrator" solution, it brought another problem (I wish I took a screenshot!!)
Session 4
I'm trying to build firefox in debug mode but it is not working:
I will checkout again and run again this:
export MOZCONFIG=/d/MozillaffSource/mozilla/mozconfig-firefox-debug
make -f client.mk build
This is the error:make -f client.mk build
configure: error: --enable-application=APP is requiredI misspelled the export MOZCONFIG command
*** Fix above errors and then restart with "make -f client.mk build"
make[1]: *** [configure] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/d/MozillaffSource/mozilla'
make: *** [/d/MozillaffSource/mozilla/Makefile] Error 2
Let's try again. I started at 9:10pm
I see a lot of "can't read this and that"

I'm using Window Vista, I have Mozilla build in my C: drive and the MozillaffSource in my D: drive
Therefore, I will follow step by step http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Real_World_Mozilla_Build_Mozilla_Lab
I'm checking tinderbox, I see one of the columns in orange but doesn't say that the tree is closed
Bug bug bug, why?!!!! https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=388543
It's because I'm on Vista; I'm trying to try a way around, I'm running the "msvc8.bat" as administrator (start time 9:35pm).
It seems it's working
10 minutes later, I got a pop up message saying:
xpt_link.exe -
This application
I close it and I read this:

Man, sucks to hear about all your problems. All I can think of for building Mozilla on Vista is run the build with privileges (right click->run as admin). I I have vista at home and it causes NOTHING but problems for me.. (Come on SP1!!)
