Ok, release MINUS 0.01 of mozgard is available for crash tests.. - and anyone
who is interested in seeing if they can add/extend it...
http://midgard.hklc.com/mozgard/mozgard.xpi
this is a mozilla installer file. you can use mozilla to visit this link and
it might install..
Things to note on install:
- Latest midgard snapshots are best - on the top bar of www.mozillazine.org
- Unix seems to work better if you install as root.
Overview of the install process (eg. if you have to do it manually!)
the xpi is a zip file it contains 2 files
- install.js
- mozgard.jar
install.js is supposed to add (at least) this line to installed-chrome.txt (in
the mozilla/chrome directory)
content,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/mozgard.jar!/content/mozgard/
and put the file mozgard.jar into the mozilla/chrome directory
mozgard.jar is another zip file - if you want to play with the contents =
recommended :)
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome (or your chrome dir)
mkdir mozgard
cd mozgard
unzip ../mozgard.jar
this will make a directory called content.
inside content are a few files (mainly used for rebuilding the jar file and
xpi file.)
the most important is mozgardtojar.sh - this will rebuild the jar file, as
mozilla does not use the raw text xml files, only the jar!
to use it
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/mozgard/content
/mozgardtojar.sh
(eg. after you have edited something in content/mozgard)
After installing, try opening a new window and and using the task menubar and
mozgard should be there.
otherwise
mozilla -chrome chrome://mozgard/content/mozgard.xul
should work!
-------------------------------
General status:
It's got a big rdf file which is an example page tree - and comes up in the
tree box (you get a prompt for the location of your mozgard server - just
press cancel, the serverside code is only on our development server at
present.)
Nothing much works except the general proof of concept.. - if you can make
something work - let me know :)
