I was under the impression here that it would work by including the XPCOM
header files itself. Thanks for making me realize my mistake.
Basically the only thing for which including headers suffice is for code
in libc or the C++ standard library. For everything else you need to
link to something.
BTW I am
creating an application that would use XPCOM components to load a
webpage in
a window on Linux platform(can call an embedded appl), so would it be
advisable to link the header files through GRE or against xpcomlib ?
I don't really understand the question, I'm sorry :( What does "through
GRE" mean here?
Also, would i need to use XUL to display the page in the browser or using
paint components, through ContentViewerContainer component, to paint the
content on the browser would work as well.
You don't need to use XUL. For your browser UI you can use Gtk as usual.
You may want to use gtkmozembed for embedding mozilla, btw.
