Configure the environment
Microsoft Visual C++ version 6 requires Service Pack 5 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/updates/sp/vs6/sp5/default.aspx) and the processor pack (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/tools/ppack/).
Platform SDK
When using Visual C++ 6, you need to get either the october 2002 or the february 2003 version of the platform SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm).
Download the current MozillaBuild 1.1 package (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/MozillaBuildSetup-1.1.exe).
By default, the package installs to c:\mozilla-build. It is recommended to use the default path.
Getting a command prompt for building
start-msvc6.bat
if %VC6DIR% is empty then hardcode the directory path.
Install jdk-1_5_0_03-windows-i586.exe in C:/ not in C:/Program Files/ , because we need to eradicate possibles white spaces in the paths. After install check the environment variable Java_Home.
