=== Problem 1 : Use MOZ_CO_PROJECT to specify a project for checkout.. ===
During the first run, I used this command to download the files.
<pre>$ make -f client.mk checkout</pre>
The downloading process never started, and the screen displayed this error.
<pre>
mozilla/client.mk:761: *** No modules or projects were specified. Use MOZ_CO_PROJECT to specify a project for checkout.. Stop.
</pre>
This message was confusing, as many references instructs this step without any hassle. I supposed MOZ_CO_PROJECT is some kind of flag I have to set in order to run the process. I decided to read other submissions and found a solution in [http://cs1.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Assignment_1_%28Pcvitori%29 Philip Vitorino's page]. Here's the corrected command:
<pre>$ make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser</pre>
Later I discovered that I could have avoided such headache if I had had the time and patience to read the contents of '''client.mk'''. The file contains a documentation on how to use the flag to choose the Mozilla suite to download.
