I am follow gemal's directions for building firebird but have run into a problem. How do I create a file named .mozconfig? Windows says I must name the file when I try to use that name.

Try saving the file as ".mozconfig", with the quotes.

Maybe I shouldn't do it in explorer? because it says " is one of the characters a filename can't begin with. I can't remember the dos command to create a file

I used Notepad to save my .mozconfig.

What I did was to create it from the command line:
copy con .mozconfig
something^Z

^Z is either CTRL-Z or F6, then return.
Then you can edit it in notepad and Windows will not complain when you copy/edit/move it.
