%general-entities; ]> Xulrunner Xulrunner is a runtime environment for XUL applications, and forms the major part of the Mozilla codebase. In particular, it provides the Gecko engine together with pkgconfig files so that other applications can find and use it. &lfs75_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &xulrunner-md5sum; Download size: &xulrunner-size; Estimated disk space required: &xulrunner-buildsize; Estimated build time: &xulrunner-time; Xulrunner Dependencies Required , , and Recommended , , , , , and If you don't install recommended dependencies, then internal copies of those packages will be used. They might be tested to work, but they can be out of date or contain security holes. With Firefox-31.0 and later versions, you must have installed Openssl before Python 2, or the build system will quickly fail with output including "ImportError: cannot import name HTTPSHandler". If you are in any doubt about this (e.g. upgrading from an older version of Xulrunner), check if /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_ssl.so exists. If it does not, reinstall (after installing - the latest version of any currently maintained version of Openssl should be satisfactory if already installed - if that package has not already been installed). Optional , , , (with and at runtime), or (with and at runtime), Hunspell, , , , , and User Notes: The configuration of Xulrunner is accomplished by creating a mozconfig file containing the desired configuration options. A default mozconfig is created below. To see the entire list of available configuration options (and an abbreviated description of each one), issue ./configure --help. You should review the entire file and comment or uncomment options as necessary. cat > mozconfig << "EOF" # If you have a multicore machine, firefox will now use all the cores by # default. Exceptionally, you can reduce the number of cores, e.g. to 1, # by uncommenting the next line and setting a valid number of CPU cores. #mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j1" # If you have installed DBus-Glib comment out this line: ac_add_options --disable-dbus # If you have installed dbus-glib, and you have installed (or will install) # wireless-tools, and you wish to use geolocation web services, comment out # this line ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi # If you have installed libnotify comment out this line: ac_add_options --disable-libnotify # GStreamer is necessary for H.264 video playback in HTML5 Video Player; # to be enabled, also remember to set "media.gstreamer.enabled" to "true" # in about:config.

The run-mozilla.sh and xpcshell files have been moved in this version, but the code which installs Firefox (when linked to xulrunner) was not updated. These symlinks allowFirefox to install when built against Xulrunner.
