Having trouble compiling & building icedove on Debian, missing mozilla/intl/uconv/tests/unit/xpcshell.ini

[Carl Wuebker]

Hi,

   I believe I followed the instructions at

     https://wiki.debian.org/Icedove/Devel

correctly, but continue to get the error message below.  Is the missing 
file included in a different package, is it generated by something I'm 
not aware or am I lacking some package on my system?

   I have tried both running ./configure & make -f client.mk build & 
keep getting the error below.  If there's a web page with a FAQ on build 
problems, I'd appreciate a pointer to it.

Thanks,

Carl Wuebker
