There's the problem. The Microsoft "cl" compiler understands path names like d:/documents and settings and also d:\documents and settings but it does not ever understand /d/documents and settings to be equivalent to either of those. CL assumes that any command line string that start with "/" is a command line option (it treats a leading "/" the same as a leading "-", /d is the same as -d), so any absolute path names MUST begin with a drive letter and a colon, e.g. d:/documents and settings Also, any directory names with spaces in them must appear inside quoted strings, e.g. C:/Documents and Settings will have problems, but "C:/Documents and Settings" will be OK. Often, users find that using C:/Docue~1 (or whatever it is) is a good compromise because it requires no quoting. I'm sorry to say this, but you may find you will get better help with Mozilla's BuildSetup tools in another newsgroup/mailing list, namely mozilla.dev.builds -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
