Do you have a specific adress or do I search on the mozilla site ? One question, when you speak of mozilla, you speak of firefox, am I wrong ? 'Only' 756 MB should be ok, maybe you'll need to increase the size of your swapfile. I have 512 MB until today with a swapfile of 1 GB, I increased the swapfile size to 2 GB because I want to build a debugging version now, but my /tmp drive was full... I build the complete mozilla, including mail/news, firefox alone fails to build currently (with my initial patch), I have not tried thunderbird or calendar standalone yet. These are all things that are remaining once I see a working browser. What currently fails too is all security related, aka 'personal security manager', in this part of the tree they don't use autoconf and I have problems to figure what to change to get the paths in the Makefiles correct. You can fetch a recent nightly snapshot of the tree here: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-source.tar.bz2 I send the latest patchfile later this evening to be created after I have updated the tree with: $ cvs -z9 up Gerrit Ok I'm dowloading he source files. I don't think I will be ready to work before tomorrow because of my testing of the install procedure and as my connection is not as fast as thunder and as my daughters live on it a lot (ah msn messenger :-( )and as I have to download a complete cygwin distro ... So as soon as I'm ready and I lauch the configure, I report to you. How will I be able to get your patch ? Will you send me the files patched ? Bruno
