Hi,

I am new to Mozilla build system and my long term goal is to compile Firefox or XULRunner for Windows Mobile.

I have got several questions and will be grateful to anyone who lets me know an answer to any of those:

1. When building FF or XULRunner for regular Win32, e.g. Windows XP, is there any alternative to the UNIX tools based build system? I mean does anyone have any SLN file(s), which perform the build of FF / XR without using MINGW?
2. When trying to build as described in https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Build/Windows_Mobile_Build_Instructions I receive numerous errors of many kinds. The worst of them are segmentation faults and other core dumps. Does anyone know what could help?
3. Build under MINWG is terribly slow. What can help?
4. pkg-config is missing from MozillaBuildSetup-1.3.exe and build seems to want pkg-config. How to make it work under MINGW?

Regards,
