Details

There is no version of Perl for win9x with flock implemented. My build is failing in config\add-chrome.pl line 41 In rules.mak I found: !if "$(OS_TARGET)" == "WIN95" _NO_FLOCK=-l !else _NO_FLOCK= !endif This should be extended to include Win98/ME/etc
Ok, I discovered OS_TARGET which I did not have set. I work mainly with xpconnect standalone which does not require this environment variable. It would be nice if the build process complained if this variable is missing
The build instructions explicitly state that you need to set OS_TARGET to WINNT or WIN95. Other values are not supported. Marking invalid.
