+ This page summarizes information on troubleshooting the NSS and JSS build and test systems,
+ including known problems and configuration suggestions.
+
+ If you have suggestions for this page, please post them to

+.. _building_nss:
+
+`Building NSS <#building_nss>`__
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. container::
+
+ - Having /usr/ucb/bin in the path before /usr/ccs/bin breaks the build on 64-bit Solaris.
+
+ - The Solaris compiler needs to be workshop-5.0 or greater.
+
+ - The 64-bit builds don't support gcc.
+
+ - If the build fails early on the gmakein coreconf try updating your cvs tree with -P:
+ cd mozilla
+ cvs update -P
+
+ - Building a 32-bit version on a 64-bit may fail with:
+
+ .. code:: notranslate
+
+ /usr/include/features.h:324:26: fatal error: bits/predefs.h: No such file or directory
+
+ In this case remember to set USE_64=1
+
+.. _testing_nss:
+
+`Testing NSS <#testing_nss>`__
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. container::
+
+ The SSL stress test opens 2,048 TCP connections in quick succession. Kernel data structures may
+ remain allocated for these connections for up to two minutes. Some systems may not be configured
+ to allow this many simultaneous connections by default; if the stress tests fail, try increasing
+ the number of simultaneous sockets supported.
+
+.. _building_jss:
+
+`Building JSS <#building_jss>`__
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. container::
+
+ - **Windows Only:** The shell invoked by gmake, ``shmsdos.exe``, is likely to crash when
+ invoking some Java tools on Windows. The current workaround is to use some other shell in
+ place of ``shmsdos``, such as ``sh.exe``, which should be distributed with the `Cygnus
+ toolkit <http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/download.html>`__ you installed to build NSS. The
+ change is unfortunately rather drastic: to trick gmake, you rename the shell program.
+
+ cd c:/Programs/cygnus/bin *(or wherever your GNU tools are installed)*
+ cp shmsdos.exe shmsdos.bak *(backup shmsdos)*
+ cp sh.exe shmsdos.exe *(substitute alternative shell)*
+
+ Making this change will probably break other builds you are  making on the same machine. You
+ may need to switch the shell back and forthdepending on which product you are building. We
+ will try to provide a moreconvenient solution in the future. If you have the MKS toolkit
+ installed,  the <tt>sh.exe</tt> that comes with this toolkit can be used as well. \ No newline at end of file
