I guess this is not the real problem, but just a consequence of it.
Probably, this crash is because of a mis-initialization of XPCOM. You
can check this easily just adding a 'printf' before the return
statement at EmbedPrivate::PushStartup method
rv = NS_InitEmbedding(binDir, sAppFileLocProvider);
if (NS_FAILED(rv)) {
printf ("The problem begins here\n");
return;
}
Btw, have you tried building it with xulrunner's mozconfig either
(xulrunner/config/mozconfig). I've built and ran TestGtkEmbed from a
xulrunner build without problems ... check out
http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/blog/2006-01-12/mozilla-embedding-small-devices-and-gtkmozembed/
and http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/dougt/archives/009576.html
I got it doing something like this :
cd base_dir
cp xulrunner/config/mozconfig .
make -f client.mk build_all
cd dist/bin
export GRE_HOME=.
./run-mozilla.sh ./TestGtkEmbed www.google.com
