I tried niky's instructions and went forward. Here's what i observed
1) xpcom.dll is not under dist/lib but under dist/bin
2) If i used that xpcom.dll to compile it fails with this error
"c:\mozilla\dist\bin\xpcom.dll : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or
corrupt file: cannot read at 0x2B8"
You cannot link against DLLs on Windows, you have to link against the
matching import library xpcom.lib.

thanks for the advice, one more hurdle crossed and now i am falling
forward at another one.
I discovered that I am required have a derived class from
nsIDirectoryServiceProvider to do ns_InitEmbedding. I created that
class. Now, It seems that i cannot create a CString and cast it to
nsCString. Is there a trick to it?
error C2440: '<function-style-cast>' : cannot convert from 'wchar_t *'
to 'nsCString_external'
-ravi
Try something like this:
//Converts UTF16 to UTF8
char *pSomePointer = (char*) NS_ConvertUTF16toUTF8 (sValue).get ();
//Converts UTF8 to UTF16
sValue.Assign (NS_ConvertUTF8toUTF16 (szSomeString));
I'm not sure if there is a "better" way of doing it, but it seems to
work fine for me, Good Luck!
