gmake fails while building firefox-devel...

[Amarendra Godbole]

Hi,

I tried building firefox-devel from ports (www/firefox-devel). It hit a
gmake error, with some "entering unknown directory error". A snippet of
the build log follows:

To reproduce:
1. do a make in the firefox-devel directory.

Googling for similar failure tells that the source is incomplete, and a
-d should be used with cvs to get the correct directories. But since the 
tarball is included from the mozilla site, maybe they have bundled it
incorrectly.

Thanks!

Best,
Amarendra
