[i sent this last night, but it didn't go through because I sent it
from an unsubscribed address. If you get it twice, please forgive.]
I'd like to have a debugging build of the GRE so I can debug my
application, which embeds a browser. I've already downloaded and
built Mozilla. I see the dist/sdk and dist/gre directories. How do I
make dist/gre into a full-fledged GRE, such as that distributed on
the FTP site?
I tried just running my application against dist/gre by setting the
GRE_HOME environment variable. This produces an error message
"WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(mInternalWidget = do_CreateInstance
(kChildCID) failed, file c:/moz/mozilla/embedding/browser/webBrowser/
nsWebBrowser.cpp, line 1087". I traced into that function (that's why
I made a debugging build, after all :)) and it is failing to find a
factory for the class ID of the child window widget object. (Excuse
my sloppy terminology -- I'm new around here.) Also, on startup,
there is chatter about components being found and registered the
first time I run my app, and there are two "failed to write xpti
manifest" assertions unless I create a 'components' directory in the
same directory as my executable.
I noticed that dist/gre/components lacked an xpti.dat, so I tried
copying regxpcom from dist/sdk into dist/gre and running it. This
produced an xpti.dat but didn't help. I also tried copying the entire
GRE into the same directory as my executable and running regxpcom,
but that didn't change application behavior either.
I'm on Win XP. I would be very grateful even for the 'make'
invocation that builds the GRE installable package that is
distributed on the FTP site.
Thanks very much,
