Xulrunner-12.0
Introduction to Xulrunner
Xulrunner is a runtime environment
for XUL applications, and forms the major part of the Mozilla codebase. In particular, it provides
the Gecko engine together with pkgconfig files so that other
applications can find and use it.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.1
platform.

Installation of Xulrunner
The configuration of Xulrunner is
accomplished by creating a mozconfig
file containing the desired configuration options. A default
mozconfig is created below. To see
the entire list of available configuration options (and an
abbreviated description of each one), issue ./configure --help. You should
review the entire file and comment or uncomment options as
necessary.
cat > mozconfig << "EOF"
# If you have a multicore machine you can speed up the build by running
# several jobs at once, but if you have a single core, delete this line:
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j4"
# If you have installed Yasm delete this option:
ac_add_options --disable-webm
# If you have installed DBus-Glib delete this option:
ac_add_options --disable-dbus
# If you have installed wireless-tools delete this option:
ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi
# If you have installed libnotify delete this option:

Install Xulrunner by issuing the
following commands:
sed -i '/fcntl.h/a#include <unistd.h>' \
ipc/chromium/src/base/{file_util_linux,message_pump_libevent}.cc &&
sed -i '/sys\/time\.h/a#include <unistd.h>' ipc/chromium/src/base/time_posix.cc &&
make -f client.mk
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make -C xulrunner-build-dir install &&
mkdir -p /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins &&
rm -rf /usr/lib/xulrunner-12.0/plugins &&
ln -sv ../mozilla/plugins /usr/lib/xulrunner-12.0 &&
for library in /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-12.0/sdk/lib/*.so; do
ln -sfv ${library#/usr/lib/} /usr${library#*sdk}
done
Command Explanations
sed -i '/fcntl.h/a#include
<unistd.h>'
ipc/chromium/src/base/{file_util_linux,message_pump_libevent}.cc
&& sed -i '/sys\/time\.h/a#include <unistd.h>'
ipc/chromium/src/base/time_posix.cc: These seds fix
bugs that would otherwise break the build if you're using
GCC 4.7.
make -f client.mk
...: Mozilla products are packaged to allow the use
of a configuration file which can be used to pass the configuration
settings to the configure command. make uses the client.mk file to get initial configuration and
setup parameters.
ln -sv ../mozilla/plugins
...: Some packages will install browser plugins
into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.
Creating this symlink Xulrunner
keeps additional plugins in a common directory.
for library in
/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-12.0/sdk/lib/*.so; do ln -sfv
${library#/usr/lib/} /usr${library#*sdk}; done: The
libraries shipped with this package are installed into /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-12.0 which means they
will not be found at runtime. These commands make relative symbolic
links to the shared libraries from /usr/lib.
