Here lies the MozWebShell java wrapper to mozilla M8. Authors: Kirk Baker Ian Wilkinson Build hacking and packaging: Ed Burns Requirements: * built M8 mozilla tree for WinNT4.0 * JDK1.1.7 or greater * built org.mozilla.util java classes (see NOTE_UTIL) * Perl 5 perl.exe must be in your path How To Build: * make it so the directory in which this file resides is a child of your top level mozilla\java directory * Copy the files .\config\buildpkg.bat and .\config\outofdate.pl to mozilla\config. These file were modified after M8 and the modifications are required to build java. * make sure the environment var JDKHOME is set to your jdk installation directory, ie SET JDKHOME=C:\jdk1.1.8 * type "nmake /f makefile.win all" and hope for the best * Due to bug 10561 (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10561) one must do a horrendous workaround: In the directory mozilla/dist/WIN32_D.OBJ/bin, copy the components.reg file and the components directory to the following places: C:\WINNT\System32 %JDKHOME%\jre\bin How to Run: * once the build has successfully completed, run this batch file: .\src\WIN32_D.OBJ\runem.bat Note that YOUR_URL is probably necessary since firewall support wasn't working in M8. Problems: * clobber_all doesn't remove the .class files from dist\classes. You have to do this manually. * post to netscape.public.mozilla.java newsgroup General notes: * Please update the ChangeLog (changelo) when you make changes. NOTE_UTIL: * this package depends on the org.mozilla.util classes, which can be found in the mozilla tree under mozilla\java\util. They are a separate checkout and build. Once you check out the org.mozilla.util classes, see the README in the mozilla\java\util\README.
