Still getting build error

So I have the newest source of Mozilla, and have modified my build routine to suit. The required binaries and libraries are all installed and working, but I still can't get this to compile.
as per instructions on the Mozilla developer's wiki, I used the following command to build:
make -f client.mk build
and as I stated in the previous thread, the build always fails with:
configure: error: --enable-application=APP is required
I do not know how to fix that. I can only imagine it has something to do with the version of VC++ that I am using (the one bundled with Visual Studio 2003). I have gotten the most recent libraries and installed them into the buildtools as suggested, and am now at a complete loss.
Any explanation (or even wild guesses) would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Whitey

Which thread? Please link it, if it is worth reading. And there are several developer documents in the Mozilla developer wiki ;-), it would have been good if you linked the corresponding one(s), too.
Every (or nearly every) document should point you to . $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig to build FireFox, Thunderbird or Sunbird (and that requires getting stuff from CVS).
To build SeaMonkey you just need
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=suite
ac_add_options --enable-application=suite
But please note that this is only the tip of the iceberg and a problem that's easy to solve...

Okay, I found the problem.
I had a misconfigured library path.
All is good,
