We are looking at using Mozilla for a project we are working on and need to embed it into an application so we can use it for portable development (the app would be entirely written on top of Mozilla). Anyway I have been looking at the Embedded project and it looks cool, but it seems rather large. I took a look at the wxMozilla project and from what I can see the files required the embed Gecko on Win32 total about 13Meg in size.
Is that correct or am I missing something?
I also noticed that there are projects to embed Mozilla into handheld devices, so clearly 13Meg for binary files is a bit much. Is there a stripped down version of Mozilla that takes up a lot less space that we might be able to use? Our project would only need basic HTML support (CSS, frames etc). We probably don't need JavaScript, as we may be using PHP/SQLite on the server side of things.
Also I was wondering what the status of Firefox is related to embedding? Is Firefox smaller than the current Mozilla, and if so would it be a betetr candidate for getting this into an application with a smaller size?
Finally is it possible to static link all this into a single application binary rather than required 13Meg of runtime DLL's? We would prefer to avoid the headaches of shared libraries on Windows and Linux for our application, so static linking it all would solve that.
Thanks!
