I am trying to build NSS source codes (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/NSS) version 3.15 on OS X 10.9. I have downloaded the NSS and NSPR package and based on the instructions I have CDed into NSS folder and entered:
make nss_build_all
The build instructions are available at: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/NSS_Sources_Building_Testing and developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/NSS_reference/Building_and_installing_NSS/Build_instructions
however I get the following error in the middle of the Make:
rm -f nfspwd; cp ../../config/nfspwd.pl nfspwd; chmod +x nfspwd

I have downloaded the package several times and performed make clean before testing..
You should never use paths containing whitespace (or other shell-special characters) when building software with make.
