Mozilla Sunbird Build Error

[CaptainKahuna]

Asked in Software and got no love, so I'm hoping someone reads it here that doesn't visit software:

configure: error: Building crypto support requires a valid version of the standalone assembler (ml.exe for MSVC).
*** Fix above errors and then restart with "make -f client.mk build"
make: *** [/cygdrive/c/mozilla/mozilla/Makefile] Error 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's my problem here? I have MSVC 6.0 installed, using cygwin on Windows XP Pro.

Maybe if you told us WTF you were trying to do.

You post an error message, but not what caused it, or what you're trying to accomplish, how the fvck to we know what you want?

Have you tried searching on Google or the Mozilla forums?

Just trying to build SunBird on my XP box as per title. Nothing special at all, just grabbed the code via CVS. Using Visual C++ 6.0 and cygwin.

Yeah I tried, no luck.

Does running 'ml.exe' work from the build directory? Maybe your MSVC tools are not in the $PATH ?

I would recommend using another compiler.

But this setup you are running should get the job done, i need a full error log to even start along with a full system description including external programs and HW description, version of drivers would help too since your error message is too damn general to do anything with.

Something went wrong is the best i can do with the information you provided.

Config errors on CVS code isn't exactly unusual anywayz. just download todays updates and try again.
