Hello,

I just checked out out the most recent Mozilla trunk from CVS and
followed the build instructions on the Mozilla website. During the
compilation, I ran into the error below. Are there any steps I'm
missing or is the problem with the actual code?

Which version of gcc are you using? On 10.4, you need to switch to gcc
3.3 (gcc 4.0 still doesn't work at building). Do "sudo gcc_select 3.3"
in order to switch your compiler.

You are using gcc 4.0 from Xcode 2.0. It's a prerelease compiler with a
handful of bugs. It won't work, ever. As Javier points out, you need
"sudo gcc_select 3.3".

You should update to Xcode 2.1, which includes a gcc 4.0 that won't be
tripped up by this same bug. You won't be able to build an unpatched
Mozilla with that compiler yet, but a patch is available (bug 294244)
and will be finding its way onto the trunk.
