Building Mozilla NSS (Network Security Services) on Windows

gistfile1.txt

1. Download & Install Visual Studio 2010 - Version able to compile C++ 
2. Download and Install Mozilla build files http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/MozillaBuildSetup-Latest.exe
3. Download the latest NSS package from: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/ 
   Download the tar with npsr 
4. Create a directory C:\src
5. Extract nss to c:\src 
    So this will end up looking like c:\src\nss-3.15
6. Run the Mozilla build shell: C:\mozilla-build\start-msvc10.bat
7. Create the required env variables
  Type:  export OS_TARGET="WINNT"
  Type:  export BUILD_OPT="1" 
  Type:  export HOME="/c/src"   (or whatever directory you created above)
8. cd ~ (should bring you into your home directory)
9. Now cd into the nss-3.5\nss
10. type: ls (you should see the file Makefile)
11. type  make nss_build_all 

This will take a few minutes to build. Go make a coffee

Once it's done you will have a directory dist in the root nss directory c:\src\nss-3.15\dist
