I just happened to try and build a B2G desktop today on OS X following the
instructions here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Using_the_B2G_desktop_client
I used latest m-c (I'm testing the effect of recent changes on B2G) and latest
gaia master.
The first issue I had was than the page says I need to use b2g-bin to run, but
there is no such file anymore as far as I can tell. My build completed
successfully, but I only have a 'b2g' file created.
I tried running these instructions using 'b2g' instead of 'b2g-bin', but just
get a black screen:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Using_the_B2G_desktop_client#Running_on_Mac
It doesn't complain about the -profile argument, so presumably that is supported
by 'b2g' now.
So I'm wondering if your changes could have caused this issue?
Then again maybe B2G desktop is just broken for m-c and gaia master right now. I
also notice in the console that there's this assertion:
System JS : ERROR chrome://global/content/BrowserElementChild.js:23 -
NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED: Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff
(NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIDocShell.setFullscreenAllowed]

Apologies in advance, I may have broken your B2G desktop workflow. In a patch
we moved shims from production gaia code into gaia extensions. These extensions
are now being bundled by the DESKTOP_SHIMS=1 flag (included by default with
DESKTOP=1 or DEBUG=1).
WTF, why are there so many flags?
Please see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=940603
In this bug we are talking removing all gaia build flags for use of proper
Makefile targets. Not only are targets the *right* way to do this, once we have
them, we know never to break them. The details are in the bug, but I am
proposing we support only two targets:
$ make - Default command, builds a profile for a device.
$ make desktop - Builds a profile for b2g desktop OR Firefox Nightly OR
Simulator.
The gaia extensions will need some work, and they will need to be made context
aware so they work for all environments. We can also tie this stuff into
travis/TBPL and run gaia ui tests on different consumers of `desktop` targets
to ensure things don't break.
Please let me know if you have any concerns/questions.
Best,
Kevin Grandon
