Re: [atf-dev] making a Mac build?
|
Hey Lance. I saw your blog post on this and was going to respond, but I guess I'll just do it here.
Getting ATF to work on Mac requires two fixes. The first is on the XULRunner side. The patch is available at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335696. I got review for it yesterday, so I'll check it in to Mozilla source today. But I don't know when there will be a good XULRunner build with this code in it. If you want to and are willing, you can build XULRunner yourself (from the MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH tag) with this patch applied.
The second part is on the ATF side. That patch is available at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=154597. Once a XULRunner build is available, I'll check in that patch to make ATF work on Mac.

I downloaded the Linux one and installed all of its prerequisites. I
followed a tutorial from IBM developerWorks about using ATF and found
that all of it works, except the embedded Mozilla browser.
I had installed the Mac OS X version of XULrunner, but ATF wasn't
happy. I believe it just couldn't find XULrunner, but I'm not sure.
The first time I would try to run my project in Mozilla, ATF would give
an error. The second time I would try, Eclipse would die. I tried
various version of XULrunner: 1.8.0.1, 1.8.0.4, 1.9a*. None of them
helped. I see now that I probably need XULrunner
1.8.1. I think I've
found a Mac OS X build of that, but I don't hold much hope that it will
help ATF.
I think I need to build ATF from source under Mac OS X. Before I get
too far with this, I would be very happy if somebody pointed out that
there's a recent (even weekly/daily?) build of ATF for Mac OS X already
that I can download. If there's no such thing, I would be happy to
make one.
I've checked out the latest version of ATF source from the CVS
repository, but I don't know where to go from there. How do I build
ATF from source? I'm sorry that this sounds like such a silly
question, I really did look around for build instructions before asking
here, so I hope you will forgive me.
