Cannot build Gaim-2.0.0beta5

[Abhinav]

I was trying to build the gaim-2.0.0beta5 on windows XP using Cygwin, but it didn't build successfully. It gives the following message during build process

I have done everything as given in windows build instruction web page. I also tried to build the gaim using "wingaim-build-fetcher.sh" but it still giving the same error.

Please help Me

The build environment fetcher isn't always up to date.

You need to update NSS and NSPR to the versions on http://gaim.sf.net/win32/build.php

i have downloaded NSS and NSPR from above site, but its not helping.
