Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

I download the latest source code from CVS server, and try to build the Firefox.
This is my .mozconfig file when built Firefox:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start cygwin and change current directory to the Firefox source code root.
2. type make -f client.mk build
3. build some source source always be passed, but failed on building
security\nss\lib\freebl

Actual Results:  
The following is the segment of the output:

lib -NOLOGO -OUT:"d:/firefox/mozilla/mozilla/nss/freebl/freebl.lib" d:\\firefox\
\mozilla\\mozilla\\nss\\freebl\\loader.obj
echo d:/firefox/mozilla/mozilla/nss/freebl/freebl.lib

5_SINGLE_SHLIB'
Makefile:51: ../../../../../coreconf/config.mk: No such file or directory
Makefile:365: ../../../../../coreconf/rules.mk: No such file or directory


Expected Results:  
Can build Firefox with shared libraries.

When I try to modify the nss\lib\manifest.mn to remove the freebl module. It is
successful util run shlibsign to sign softokn3.dll with error "IO error occurred".

I am almost certain that this has nothing to do with --enable-shared.

Comment 2

I thinkd the freebl's makefile has did something for --enable-shared. The macro
FREEBL_BUILD_SINGLE_SHLIB is for this.

Attachment: Please try this patch

The problem is that you didn't check out the Firefox source
tree correctly.  You need to follow the instructions in
http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html.  You should use "cvs checkout"
to check out only one file: mozilla/client.mk.	Then, you need to
use that makefile to check out the rest of the source tree:

    make -f client.mk checkout

The mozilla/client.mk makefile will check out the correct
version of NSS (mozilla/security/nss and mozilla/security/coreconf).
For the Firefox tip, this version of NSS has the CVS tag NSS_CLIENT_TAG.
You are using the tip of NSS.

However, you reported a problem that we will need to fix eventually.
So if you are willing to help, please keep the source tree you
have, and apply this patch.  It's okay if you don't have time to
test this patch.  Thank you.
