error during building SeaMonkey (C compiler cannot create executables)

[tmg]

Hello everyone

So I've decided to build SeaMonkey from the source code but this error (C compiler cannot create executables) occurred and because I'm rather new to this stuff I don't know what to do.

I have Windows Vista, MSVC++ 2010, Windows SDK 8.0 and I was following these instructions:

1. Open a shell window by running: c:\mozilla-build\start-msvc10.bat
2. Create a directory without spaces in its path (e.g. mkdir /c/mozilla-src) and switch to it before building (cd /c/mozilla-src)
3. hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/
4. cd comm-central
5. python client.py checkout
6. echo 'ac_add_options --enable-application=suite' > .mozconfig
7. echo 'mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/objdir-sm-release' >> .mozconfig
8. make -f client.mk

Before I got an error about missing SDK files but after some updates it's gone but now I get an error: C compiler cannot create executables which wasn't there before.

Can anyone help me? But please keep it simple - I'm not a pro. :)
