JRex and Mac OS X

headers Steve Magoun | 3 Feb 17:18

I don't have JRex working on OS X yet, but I have it building with a  
modified version of Henry's patch (see enclosure). The test browser  
will start then crash while trying to draw, and I don't have anymore  
time to spend on the problem right now. Hopefully someone else can  
pick up the torch.

I'm running OS X 10.4.4 with XCode 2.1 installed. Henry included an  
xcode project in his patch. I didn't use that; instead I updated the  
Makefile to build the new obj-c files. The original patch also  
included generated jni headers, which I've excluded from my patch.

I started with the Firefox 1.5 source tarball and the following  
mozconfig (maybe I should have used seamonkey 1.0?):

export CC=gcc-3.3
export CXX=g++-3.3
. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
ac_add_options --with-macos-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=cocoa

I had to build Mozilla against the 10.3.9 SDK since JDK 1.4 isn't  
included in the 10.2.8 SDK. The camino build instructions describe  
how to do this.

To build mozilla:
make -f client.mk build_all_depend

I started with JRex checked out from CVS as of early this week  
(1/30/06?), so this patch ought to apply fairly cleanly. I know of  
one destructive edit I made to the Makefile that shouldn't be checked  
in - I removed a SunOS-specific check that was causing trouble on OS  
X. It was probably something stupid like a whitespace problem, but I  
didn't want to spend time on it.
