ive tried using .6 mozilla source, 5/21/03 version

Used default mozconfig file and many variations

Im using cygwin and msvs7 to compile

it gets bout 5 mins into compile then exits with error window stating...

xpidl.exe

"The instruction at 0x77f8f1d1 referred memory at 0x0000010 , cannot write"

Or something very close to that, i attempted to write it down word for word

Would anyone have a clue what im doing wrong?

Are You sure you downloaded the glib and libidl from <a href="ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/libraries/win32/">here</a>? Are your sure that their directory is set in your path variable before your moztools directory? Are you sure that you have your GLIB_PREFIX and LIBIDL_PREFIX set in your enviroment variables or your mozconfig?
from http://mozilla.org/build/win32.html
# xpidl.exe crashes with an access violation at 0x00000010

If you are building with .NET/VC7, then you must link against the VC7 built version of the glib & libIDL libraries. The directory containing the VC7 versions of these dlls must be in your PATH before any other version of those dlls.

If you are building with VC6, then you must make sure that you are NOT using the VC7 libraries at buildtime or at runtime.
