Building NSS on Vista

[ps_mit...@mail.ru]

Hi. I'm asking for help :) When I try to build NSS on Windows Vista,
I've go build_coreconf error 1. Is it possible to build NSS on Vista ?
If it is possible, then please tell me how?

Unless you're intimate with the NSS build system and know enough to trim things down...then this set of instructions is the best thing. I've built NSS on Vista using this wiki page:
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Windows_Build_Prerequisites

Thank you, David Stutzman. I hope this information will help me.

Sounds like you might have had one or more of these issues:
- Used the wrong make program. (Must use gmake, not nmake, on Windows.)
- Don't have the right set of build tools. (Don't have one of Mozilla's
packages of build tools for Windows that includes the nsinstall program.)
- Don't have all of the necessary sources in your source tree. (Did you
have mozilla/security/coreconf as well as mozilla/security nss?)

sources(coreconf, nss...). I've set all environment variables. I'm
using "gmake nss_build_ all".

Please supply more output from the gmake run, like (say) the last 20
lines of output.

There is building log(but there are only 5 lines of output):
>>gmake nss_build_all
process_begin:CreateProcess((null),pwd,..) failed.
process_begin:CreateProcess((null),pwd,..) failed.
cd ../coreconf ; gmake
System could not find mentioned path.
gmake: *** [build_coreconf] Error 1

Sorry for bad translation. As you can see it isn't working from the
start. And as I said, I have "coreconf" directory.
I'll be appreciated for any help.

did you install the MozillaBuild 1.3 package, and launch the correct
start-msvc*.bat file?

Building on Vista works great using the MSYS build enviroment. You just
need a little patience and
follow the correct steps to get your enviroment correct.

So, that's the real problem. I believe It means that gmake tried to
run the pwd program, but that program was not in any of the directories
listed in your PATH environment variable. You must ensure that all the
build tools are found in directories named in PATH. One way to do that
is to change the PATH variable to include additional directories.
