=Problems and Solutions=
The very first problem I encountered after I started to build took me merely a couple minutes to solve thanks to the my great old friend [http://www.google.com Google]. The command prompt spurted out this error message:
<pre>
I pulled up the [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Windows_Build_Prerequisites#GNU_Tools_for_Microsoft_Windows_.28Cygwin.29 GNU Tools for Microsoft Windows (Cygwin)] installation guide again, and realized that I have missed out the part where it mentioned <b>make 3.80 (not 3.81!) -- dependency analyzer for software builds (Devel category)</b> as one of the required packages. However, when I reinstalled Cygwin again, it didn't give me an option to choose Make 3.80!! (I think this is a serious issue and should be outlined in the Windows Build Documentation)
I tried various solutions (one of them being: hunted for an older version of Cygwin to install) but my build still failed. After several unsuccessful attempts, I consulted [[User:Sancus|Andrei Hajdukewycz]] for a solution, and the miracle happened, Firefox was then successfully built!!
<b>Solution to "target `c' doesn't match the target pattern" error</b>
