On my first time attempt building Firefox I received this error. I thought that my C++ compiler wasn't working and tried installing one and adding it to my path. No success.
<pre>'''Solution'''
After stumbling around the net for a while someone wrote "Use the command window from Visual Studio". I didn't think of that all for some reason. When I opened command prompt from visual studio I got past this error. By using that command window I guess I was referencing my Visual Studio copy of C++ which the build could understand.

2) '''Linker Error'''

== Conclusion ==
In conclusion though I found this to be a stressful exercise it forced me to get involved with IRC and I now have a better understanding of the open source community. It was also very rewarding when the software finally did build. Overall I am satisfied that the task is over and I am glad that I've sparked some interest in open source development.
