Re: [platform-swt-dev] Building swt-mozilla*.so how-to required

Hi Sriram,

SWT always compiles its mozilla libraries
against a built mozilla 1.4, as is required to ensure backwards compatibility
with mozilla versions this far back.  Instructions for compiling mozilla
(any version) are at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Build_Documentation
.  The following .mozconfig file should work for you:

mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=<pathToMozillaSourceRootDir>/builddir
ac_add_options --disable-optimize
ac_add_options --enable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2
ac_add_options --disable-freetype2
ac_add_options --enable-application=suite
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=suite

(you may wish to remove the enable-debug
line)

Once this is done, the variables that
are set before invoking swt's build.sh are:

GECKO_SDK <yourBuiltMozillaPath>/dist/sdk
GECKO_INCLUDES "-include ${GECKO_SDK}/mozilla-config.h
-I${GECKO_SDK}/nspr/include -I${GECKO_SDK}/xpcom/include -I${GECKO_SDK}/string/include
-I${GECKO_SDK}/embed_base/include -I${GECKO_SDK}/embedstring/include"
GECKO_LIBS "-L${GECKO_SDK}/embedstring/bin
-lembedstring -L${GECKO_SDK}/embed_base/bin -lembed_base_s -L${GECKO_SDK}/xpcom/bin
-lxpcomglue_s -lxpcom -L${GECKO_SDK}/nspr/bin -lnspr4 -lplds4 -lplc4"

And finally...

sh build.sh clean
sh build.sh make_mozilla install

...should build everything for you.

Of the linuxes only ppc is missing these
libraries.  Are you on ppc?

Thanks.

Some time after I posted, I got the basic SWT to compile. It's the
Mozilla specific make target that I can't seem to get to compile. This
target is not part of the all: target.

I've downloaded the Mozilla 1.7.12/1.7.13 sources and binaries, and
have set the GECKO_INCLUDE, GECKO_LIB variables, as figured that
they're not really being used in the make file. I finally started to
figure out which headers are referenced by the xpcom.cpp cource file,
and started to mention their paths in the include arguments
e.g.
-I${MOZILLA_SOURCE}/nsprpub/

It there are a few .h files that some of the mozilla headers seem to
want, but which are not present.

My goal:
Get the libswt-mozilla-*.so file to build on Solaris and Linux (I've
seen that even the Linux SWT standalone build doesn't have the mozilla
bindings within it.
