I would like to Install a certificate programmatically on Firefox version 59. I read that i need CertUtil, but the certutil code that i got on github is built from old NSS. so it only generates cert8.db and not Cert9.db, which Firefox 59 needs i assume.
So if i am correct, i need to build NSS 3.35 or higher to have a Certutil right? i went to this site to set the Windows Prerequisite and downloaded the mozilla build. and was able to build it. but it was very long so i cancelled it. I have also installed Visual Studio 2017 community Edition with the C++ compilers.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/Building
So i have a working mozilla-build folder and working bash prompt . And i have cloned the nspr and nss into my local folder.
So when i execute the command to build the nss, i get this error. that C compiler not working. And when i check the console.log, this is what i got.
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
It was created by configure, which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69. Invocation command line was

I do not understand why its not able to run the cl compiler. Cause when i ran the developer command prompt for VS 2017, i can execute cl.
I don't know what is causing this error. Is it because bash cannot identify the c Compiler cl? do i have to set additional environment variables?
I hope someone can help me to solve this problem. Or if someone has a compiled NSS 3.35 with Certutil.exe, that would greatly help.
Thank you very much, Rommel
