I enlisted and built the code today. The builds appeared to go well, but after several hours of struggling to get past something like "Cannot find xpcom", I clobbered, switched to 32-bit and built and ran that fine.
I do almost everything in 64-bit. I'm writing this in Pale Moon 28.6.0.1 64-bit. The built 32-bit is "New Moon" (cute!) 28.7.0a1 32-bit. Any thoughts on why a local-built 32-bit runs while 64-bit fails on the XPCOM loading?
Why XPCOM error in 64-bit build?

Re: Why XPCOM error in 64-bit build?
Are you working on Windows?
Works fine on my 64bit Linux.
Make sure you are following the instructions for your system.

Re: Why XPCOM error in 64-bit build?
Yes, Windows. Followed the directions precisely (and updated one bit), and, as I said, got it running in 32-bit. Just wondering why that works and 64 fails.
