I tried to change the build config to link with mapinfo:exports but this results in a non-working executable for xulrunner.exe. Does anybody know how to build a working debug copy with this version of MSVC?

Bug 401140 removed the MAPINFO:LINES switch from the build process. Can you pull a fresh tree from CVS and see if this works for you now?

I succeeded to build with latest tree!

Marking as dup to bug 401140.
