  • Originally posted on November 1st: Dale Dale has set up a windows machine in order to perform Mozilla builds but has been unsuccessful to do so. According to him he has followed the Windows Build Requirements recommended by mozilla. He also noted that he has had different results (error messages when compiling) on different machines.
Dale has discovered that there are other people who are experiencing the same issues as he is. He has also found a work around which is to use version 20040127-1 of sh.exe instead of the sh.exe version 20040127-3.
