unable to compile source code

more options

I am new to developing for Firefox and am having difficulty getting the source code to compile.

I have been following [this guide](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Simple_Firefox_build) as best I can, but when I go to build it, I get the following set of errors:

54:03.62 IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'c:\\mozilla-source-2\\cse403-finalprog\\mozilla-central\\other-licenses\\nsis\\Plugins\\AccessControl.dll'

I'm using Visual Studio 2015, but I've tried it with 2013 as well.

Any assistance you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
