This is with VS2008 and the Windows Mobile 6 SDK.  I'm trying to build with pymake, if that makes any difference.

After configuring and running make from the objdir, I almost immediately get the error

make.py[4]: Leaving directory 'c:\Users\cjones\mozilla\wm-dbg\config\mkdepend'
c:\Users\cjones\mozilla\wm-dbg\config\Makefile:106:0$ c:/Users/cjones/mozilla/wm

If I try invoking the nsinstall.exe command directly, I get

$ c:/Users/cjones/mozilla/wm-dbg/config/nsinstall.exe -R -m 644 ../mozilla-config.h ../../infalloc-mc/config /nsStaticComponents.h  ../dist/include

Oops.
