Building with Gemal's instuctions

I have followed the instruction for building Firebird on gemal.dk to a T, but I have used D:\mozilla instead of C:\mozilla. I don't get any of the errors mentioned on the site, but about 30 minutes into the build process, GCC exits with four errors. I guess this may be related to the current de-funked tree? I also have checked all the programs according to the site, and they are fine and report the correct verison numbers. Any Idea whats wrong?

Anyway, how do I update my tree without re-downloading the whole thing? Also, does anyone have a batch file that will update my source tree (In D:\mozilla\mozilla\) and build?

Also, any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

you have looked at the cvs instructions on mozilla.org haven't you ?

http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html

see also the CVS home page itself for docs : http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual

I've read the instructions on mozilla.org and just read the official ones, but the mozilla.org ine does not tell me how to UPDATE the source on Win32. I dont really nderstand the official ones. I'm very new to this whole thing about building for yourself,

have you tried make -f client.mk checkout ? or make -f client.mk fast-update ?

don't know which will work on win32, I use both on Linux, fast-update on Fb/Tb, checkout occasionally, as needed
