→Solution to "target `c' doesn't match the target pattern" error
<pre>
$cd \proj\mozilla
$make -f client.mk checkoutMOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser

6. Build the source in <b>C:\proj\mozilla</b> <pre>$make -f client.mk build</pre>
I tried various solutions (hunted for an older version of Cygwin to install and linking Make 3.80 from Cygwin with ln -s command) but my build still failed. It was frustrating, because through most of the forums that discussed about this problem, it seemed like everyone didn't have a problem "rolling back to version 3.80". However, the version of Cygwin that I installed didn't have the older version of Make and I wasn't the only person experiencing that problem at that time. Both my classmate and I tried the various solutions as per my suggestions but they all failed. After several unsuccessful attempts, I consulted [[User:Sancus|Sancus (Andrei Hajdukewycz)]] for a solution (which was easier than I thought), and the miracle happened, Firefox was then successfully built!! (Sheds a tear of joy..)
==Solution to the above "target `c' doesn't match the target pattern" error==
*Install Cywgin from [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Windows_Build_Prerequisites#GNU_Tools_for_Microsoft_Windows_.28Cygwin.29 here]
*Download [http://cygwin.paracoda.com/release/make/make-3.80-1.tar.bz2 Make 3.80] (Make sure the existing version on your system is cleanly removed all else there will be version conflicts)
*If that doesn't work then just uninstall make then install version 3.80 from source.
*Extract it and install it
*As it is a binary package, you could just grab the Make executable file (make.exe) from <b>/usr/bin/</b> and drop it in <b>cywgin/bin</b> (this will overwrite the existing Make executable)
