A simple XULRunner skeleton application to use when your programming a cross-platform XULRunner application using the
Mozilla build system.
- Get the Mozilla build system source
- Fork project or clone the source
- Place your project directory inside your Mozilla directory
- Change the pre-defined variables (through the art of find + replace in your fave text editor)
- Code and release your app, try to give us some credit.
To make things abit easier, I’ve used some variables throughout the application you can simply go through each variable
and use find + replace across all the files
* __APP_NAME__ – Application name (without spaces), use the folder name of your project
* __APP_DISPLAY_NAME__ – Application display name
* __APP_VERSION__ – Version string
* __APP_VENDOR__ – Vendor name
* __APP_ID__ – Unique application id, usually something like org.sixones@zenses or a GUID
* __APP_COPYRIGHT__ – Copyright notice
* __MAIN_CHROME__ – The default xul chrome file to launch on startup, dont include the .xul extension
* __IDL_UUID__ – Random GUID for your first idl header
To enable the Mozilla build system to compile your XPCOM components you will need to modify the Makefile.in file,
and add components to the DIRS variable.
You might want to also write some C++, the current code under the component src and public
directories should compile without errors but will provide no functionality and should be modified before expecting results.
