First a bit of background. I work got Cognito Ltd, http://www.cognito.co.uk, and we are in need of a web browser to use on PDA devices running Windows CE 2003, think XDA. On previous versions of the OS we used the MSHTML ActiveX control, however that control no longer appears to work without the shell process (i.e. Windows CE 2003's user interface) running. Unfortunately our software requires the shell not to be running and we have not, as of yet, found a work around to this problem. As such we are attempting to port Gecko and Adam Lock's ActiveX control wrapper for Gecko to windows CE. So far we have a number of core components, such as XPCOM, netwerk etc, compiling for windows CE with only a few tweaks, whether they work properly remains to be seen. I am currently working my way through the documentation at mozilla.org trying to familiarise myself with the Mozilla code base, but I thought that it might be useful to post here and ask for advice. Specifically, we are looking for information as to which modules must be included to create a basic browser, which can be omitted, ideas on how to reduce the footprint, both in memory and on disk, of the browser, and pointers as to how to go about creating such a custom build. More generally any advice, information or documentation on porting Mozilla would be appreciated. Please feel free to respond to this news post and/or contact me at the email address in the headers. Thank you all for your time. Nick Thomson. _______________________________________________ mozilla-embedding mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-embedding
