Re: can't build minimo

Hi leen,


Well,

* the first step you must to copy the mozconfig file from
path_to_mozilla/mozilla/embedding/minimo/ to the mozilla's outermost
directory. This file describe witch mozilla's packages, modules and
components will be available. As Minimo does not need all the source used
by desktop mozilla version (mozilla suite, thunderbird, firefox, ...),
this file is too important.

* i think it's not necessary to export the MINIMO env variable (make do it
for you), but if you want , you can do it for "guarantee" ..

* then, use the follow command to build both mozilla (with some components
the modules disable, according with mozconfig file ) and minimo:
     ** make -f client.mk build_all

    This command will compile the mozilla componts that will be used by
Minimo ... At this point, Minimo , the gtk-based user interface still
not available ...

* after that, come in the minimo folder, copy the package.sh file to
"app", and run the ./package.sh script ... This will compile the gtk UI
(Minimo), to work with the components compiled by previous steps, and copy
some libraries and aexcutable files to the appropiate place.

* ready, it's done. You have a "thin" mozilla + a gtk ui to access its
functionalities ..

To run Minimo

> cd mozilla_path/dist/bin/
> ./run-mozilla.sh ./Minimo
