%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ 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.

Optional , , , and , 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.

On some systems, the RAM/Swap combination needs 6 GB available. Build Xulrunner by issuing the following commands: If you are compiling Xulrunner in chroot, prepend SHELL=/bin/bash to the first make command below. make -f client.mk This package does not come with a test suite. Install, as the root user: make -C xulrunner-build-dir install && mkdir -pv /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins && rm -rf /usr/lib/xulrunner-&xulrunner-version;/plugins && ln -sv ../mozilla/plugins /usr/lib/xulrunner-&xulrunner-version; && chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-&xulrunner-version;/sdk/bin/xpcshell && for library in libmozalloc.so libmozjs.so libxul.so; do ln -sfv ../../../xulrunner-&xulrunner-version;/$library \ /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-&xulrunner-version;/sdk/lib/$library ln -sfv xulrunner-&xulrunner-version;/$library /usr/lib/$library done ln -sfv ../xulrunner-devel-&xulrunner-version;/sdk/bin/run-mozilla.sh \ /usr/lib/xulrunner-&xulrunner-version; ln -sfv ../xulrunner-devel-&xulrunner-version;/sdk/bin/xpcshell \ /usr/lib/xulrunner-&xulrunner-version; make -f client.mk ...: Mozilla products are packaged to allow the use of a configuration file which can be used to pass the configuration settings to the configure command. make uses the client.mk file to get initial configuration and setup parameters. ln -sfv ../mozilla/plugins ...: Some packages will install browser plugins into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Creating this symlink Xulrunner keeps additional plugins in a common directory. for library in libmozalloc.so libmozjs.so libxul.so ... : The libraries shipped with this package are installed into /usr/lib/xulrunner-&xulrunner-version; which means they will not be found at runtime. These commands make relative symbolic links to the shared libraries from /usr/lib. They will also replace duplicate libraries that are installed in /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-&xulrunner-version;/sdk/lib with symlinks in order to save some space. ln -sfv ../xulrunner-devel-&xulrunner-version;/sdk/bin/ ... 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.
