Surprising... Does this mean there is no sample project that will compile correctly under VC++ within mozilla ? Anyways, then how can I compile winEmbed using "start-msvc9" shell ? ************ winEmbed does not compile under VC++ 9 IDE ******************* > > 6.

Gecko Embedding Basics and embedding projects documentation that links. anything related to sample codes are all confusing and not up to date whatsoever.

I assumed incorrectly that once firefox is installed I should be able to get a gecko embedding sample to work without anything. As it is, I have: "hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.1/ 191src" and built it... no sample that works... I wanted to ask whether there is a packaged distribution binary to include for embedding and other update issue along side with existing firefox installation if any. At this point, I am fast losing confidence if I can even get this within reasonable time. Apparently, embedding mozilla/gecko within c++ app is more difficult and larger topic than I have initially imagined. According to several postings like: ---- http://www.nabble.com/embedding-build-in-firefox-3.*---xulrunner-1.9--td21849094.html http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.embedding/browse_thread/thread/31a22e981127c878 ---- Please someone clarify.
