Hi all,
I am hitting some strange behaviors in embedding under Linux.
Initialization in our app fails, so I worked out a small demo app,
which is just the usual embedding init sequence (in pseudo-code)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
XPCOMGlueStartup
XPCOMGlueLoadXULFunctions // load XRE_InitEmbedding and
XRE_TermEmbedding
NS_NewNativeLocalFile // xuldir
NS_NewNativeLocalFile // appdir
and finally
XRE_InitEmbedding(xuldir, appdir, nsnull, nsnull, 0);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the stuff works perfectly under Windows. I am experienced there and I
am porting under Linux, where I am much less experienced. We are
(still) on XULRunner 1.9.0.10. I tried both "default" and debug-
noOptimize configurations for XULRunner (please see at bottom of this
post). We are on Fedora 12.
If I compile (with -DXPCOM_GLUE=1) and link the small snippet above (I
am using Eclipse with a default wizard-generated C++ app, so no
esoteric flags here), only "xpcomglue" and "dl" libraries need to be
linked, and everything works.
But, when I link "xul" (and I need that for our REAL app), "dl" seems
no loger needed, "mozjs" is needed to resolve stuff like (...)/
libxul.so: undefined reference to `JS_DumpHeap',
JS_SetPrincipalsTranscoder, JS_GetOperationLimit, JS_SetGCZeal,
JS_SetObjectPrincipalsFinder etc, and XRE_InitEmbedding always fails
returning a nonzero value (a generic error, no hints).
Some logging: when failing, I get a lot of
----------------------------------------
WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(compMgr) failed: file
nsComponentManagerUtils.cpp, line 90
nsGenericModule xpconnect: Register hook for JS component loader
component returned error => c1f30001
----------------------------------------
and the like while XRE_InitEmbedding is registering components, and a
final
WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(compMgr) failed: file
nsComponentManagerUtils.cpp, line 165
before XRE_InitEmbedding fails.
Please note that, when it works instead, I get anyway a lot of
warnings and errors, but initialization is OK (XRE_InitEmbedding
returns 0).
here cometh the logs:
this one is when linking just xpcomglue and dl and everything is OK:

I tried to change the link order of xpcom, xul, mozjs, adding and

clueless.
Any idea?
