Hello, world!
I've got a few questions about this article [1], on dependent library
usage in extensions.
I'm writing a little firefox extension that use a shared library of my
own. My development environement is a custom build of firefox. My
sources are sitting in the mozilla/extensions/myextension. I've got an
object directory in mozilla/obj/. My component compiles and I have no
(more) problems to access it.
I would now implement the extension's part that uses my shared
library. I've created a mozilla/extensions/mystub directory, put a
makefile inside and of course a mystub.cpp source file containing an
adaptation of the .cpp file given in [1]. It also compiles fine.
What comes next is a bit fuzzy for me.
* The first question I'm asking is 'Do I still need an install.rdf
file in my mozilla/extensions/myextension directory?' If my
understanding of the thing in not too bad, I will no more use
myextension but rather mystub from the js code. Is it right?
* [1] says that the file structure of the extension directory
changes. My question is 'Where is the extension direcotory?` Is it
mozilla/extensions/mystub or mozilla/extensions/myextension or
someting in my obj dir like mozilla/obj/extensions or even in
mozilla/obj/xpi-stage/my{extension,stub} or in
mozilla/obj/dist/bin/extensions/my{stub,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks for your reply,
-AJ
