Architango,

the new ac_add_options you gave me got me a lot farther than I was able to get before. Unfotunately I'm running into another problem now. I have followed the instructions in the README for the installation very carefully. Here is an excerpt of the problem I've run into:

Writing Makefile for XPCOM::GenericModule
Writing Makefile for XPCOM::GenericFactory
Writing makefile.mk for XPCOM
/usr/bin/gmake -f makefile.mk LINKTYPE=static
gmake[6]: Entering directory `/tmp/mozilla/extensions/perl/XPCOM'
gmake[7]: Entering directory `/tmp/mozilla/extensions/perl/XPCOM/GenericModule'
gmake[7]: makefile.mk: No such file or directory
gmake[7]: *** No rule to make target `makefile.mk'. Stop.
gmake[7]: Leaving directory `/tmp/mozilla/extensions/perl/XPCOM/GenericModule'


makefile.mk exists only in extensions/perl/XPCOM/

Any ideas?

Jon

Jon,

In case you still want to build plxpcom:  the current plxpcom install
documentation instructs you to add following line:

ac_add_options --with-extensions=default,perl

to your .mozconfig file before you build Mozilla.  However, if you're
building Mozilla 1.4.1, this should be:

ac_add_options --enable-extensions=default,perl

Also, be sure to follow the instructions in plxpcom/perl/INSTALL about
adding makefile lines to the allmakefiles.sh file; the instructions in
the HTML documentation are a bit vague.

I've been unable to install plXPCOM (i've followed the installation instructions to the T but the Makefiles are never picked up by mozilla during compilation) does anyone have any experience with this?

Has anyone embedded mozilla in perl or written modules to interface with the gecko engine? The only way I know how to go about this is writing a .xs file and a perl module to interface with the c++ code, is there a better way, or has anyone written this perl module?

Thank you,

Jon
