I found it easiest to install the MozillaBuild environment for Windows: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites#MozillaBuild
Once that is installed, you launch a batch script to start a MING shell for your VisualStudio version. Set a few build flags and kick off a build. Worked fine for me. I just set this: export BUILD_OPT=1 Then: cd to <NSS_ROOT>\mozilla\security\nss make nss_build_all That's it, build should complete. You should end up with this: <NSS_ROOT>\mozilla\dist\WINNT5.1_OPT.OBJ Hope this helps. I tried for awhile to use cygwin with gcc and VS til I finally went to MozillaBuild.
