hi Hrudaya, from your screenshot, it looks like your build is
failing because some compiler warnings are treated as errors. Scroll
up and search your console log for the string ": error" to see the
actual original error message.<br>
<br>
Alternately, ensure you do not have the following line in your
mozconfig file:<br>
<br>
ac_add_options --enable-warnings-as-errors<br>
<br>
Remove it or change it to --disable-warnings-as-errors. If you have
any more debugging questions, drop by the #introduction IRC channel
on Mozilla's IRC server.<br>

To contribute to the development of Firefox, I tried
to produce the Firefox build (the debug build) by
following the below mentioned links:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Contribute/Firefox">https://wiki.mozilla.org/Contribute/Firefox</a><br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Simple_Firefox_build">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Simple_Firefox_build</a><br>
To make the build process produce a debug build
instead of a release build, I simply copy-pasted all
the lines mentioned in the above first link into a
mozconfig file. (I am using <b>Ubuntu</b> as my OS
and have an <b>8 GB RAM</b> in my computer.)<br>
<br>
However, <b>errors</b> are cropping up during the <b>compilation
tier</b> of the build process. Even after running
"./mach build" multiple times, the errors are not
getting removed. Rather, every time errors are
produced on different "lines". I tried the following
link for some help, but to no avail:<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Mozilla_build_FAQ"><br>
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Mozilla_build_FAQ</a><br>
<br>
</div>
<b>But, there seems to be a "common pattern" to the
error occurences.<i> Initially,</i></b> the errors
seemed to be "<u>centered around</u>" files having the
following generic name:<br>
<br>
</div>
<div style="text-align:center"><b><i>lib*.*.o.desc</i></b><br>
</div>
<br>
</div>
As I ran the build command multiple times, the number of
warnings issued by the compilation process started to
increase and <b>now</b> the error seems to be "centered
around" the following element:<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align:center"><i><b>Unified_cpp_xpcom_base0.o</b></i><br>
</div>
</div>
(A screenshot of the current error indication is attached)<br>
<br>
</div>
I would be highly grateful if someone could point out the method
to eliminate the error. Thanks in advance!<br>
