Compile errors again, symbols like XRE_InitEmbeddingType are not being found. Docs on mozilla website say that they no longer support winEmbed or mfcEmbed; not sure if they'll work now.
What I'm trying to do is to write a bare-bones crawler in C++, I don't need any GUI, or any browser window. I just want a console app (.exe) that will take as argument a URL and save its content to a file on the disk. Just that. Later, data-extractor will pick it up and do the parsing. I already have something like this working in Java, without Gecko or anything. Is there no simple way of doing it in C++/Gecko?
