Mozilla has its own way of doing things

make -f client.mk build

is the way to build mozilla ...
it runs the configure scripts and does all sorts of stuff...

However ... trying to compile mozilla for xfree under cygwin ... I have not 
heard it work ... and my attempts at doing so have been frustrating ... not 
that I am an experienced port doing person...


First file it trys to compile gave me problems. This comes up because uname 
-r has ( and ) in it ... (unless this changed in 1.3.4 ...) which will cause 
gcc to complain about syntax errors in arguments being passed to it due to 
mozilla compile process attempting to pass -DOSTYPE='`uname -m` `uname -r`' 
... or something similar...
I modified the actual cygwin source to change my uname -r ... but theres 
probably a not to hard way to modify the mozilla source to stop it from 
passing uname -r... I just found changing uname easier for my simple mind... 
(something to do with understanding code ... but NOT understanding 
configure/automake/etc/etc...)

however ... mozilla is a big source ... and errors just kept on comming ... 
and being fixed ... and comming some more... someone with some more patience 
might be able to port it... or maybe just more knowledge...

At least all the prerequisite libraries compile and appear to be working, so 
there is hope... sort of...
