* [http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.platform/browse_thread/thread/f36bd89790743d85/0a59403a5f9d092c#0a59403a5f9d092c|Sep 27 Xulrunner fails without feedback on OSX Intel 10.4.7] 
''I am trying to port our XUL application to OS X.  However when I run  
xulrunner from the command line it fails silently without feedback.   
The xulrunner-bin executable runs for about 4-5 seconds, then exits.   
It outputs no message to the console or system logs and returns code  
0 to the shell.  Passing the -console and/or -jsconsole options have  
no effect on this behaviour.  I have tried several other XUL  
applications as well as ours, with the same result.
I downloaded the OSX xulrunner .dmg files and installed them using the 
standard OSX package installer.  I am not trying to install 
applications, just run them from their own directory using'' 
<pre>/path/to/xulrunner-bin application.ini</pre>
''My system is OS X Intel 10.4.7.  I get the same result using  
xulrunner 1.8.0.1, 1.8.0.4 and the latest nightly 1.8.''
Can anyone give me any pointers on how to pin down this problem?


=== '''A''' ===


In order for applications to run on 
mac, they must be in an application bundle (Foo.app). The xulrunner 
<pre>-install-app</pre> 
flag can be used to "unpack" a XUL app into the correct mac 
bundle structure.
