Problem1:- I have no idea how to move my current directory to c:\proj in Cygwin.
Mark helped me move the current directory to c:\proj and create the .mozconfig by touch command.
Problem2:- I wasn’t able to log into cvs at school computer.
Mark told me to use Putty to tunnel out the school firewall through matix

[http://cs.senecac.on.ca/~david.humphrey/writing/firefox-win32-build.html David humphrey’s website]<br/>[[User:RealMarkP|Mark Paruzel]] == Conclusions ==By the instruction on David’s website and mark’s help I build firefox on my first try. But I wasn’t understand clearly about the steps of building it and why it worked that way, at least I didn’t figure out the problem by myself. So I format my hard drive and redo everything by memory and it worked again. All the steps are not too hard to follow, but the building took too long time. Now I am familiar with building firefox on windows. == Screenshot of the Build Number ==[[Image:Yishen_a1.jpg]]
