== Deploying XULRunner 1.8 ==
=== Windows ===
If you  do not wish to use the XUL Runner installer, the installed files should be arranged in the following directory structure:

    * installdir/
          * application.ini
          * components/
                + ... components which are part of the application 
          * chrome/
                + ... chrome which is part of the application 
          * ... additional application files such as icons, etc
          * myapplicationname.exe (This is the "stub executable"... you should copy and rename this           
            file from xulrunner-stub.exe in your XULRunner installation.)
          * xulrunner/
                + ... copy xulrunner/ to this directory

=== Mac OS ===

On Mac OS X, the XULRunner framework bundle is placed in your application bundle:

    * MyApp.app/
          o Contents/
                + Info.plist
                + Frameworks/
                      # XUL.framework/
                            * files copied from /Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework/Versions/1.8/...                          
                      make sure you copy all symlinks correctly 
                     (use rsync -rl /Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework ...). 
                + Resources
                      # application.ini
                      # app_icon.icns
                      # components/
                            * ... components which are part of the application 
                      # chrome/
                            * ... chrome which is part of the application 
                      # ... additional application files such as icons, etc 
                + MacOS/
                      # xulrunner (This is the "stub executable"... you should copy this file from       
                      /Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework/Versions/1.8/xulrunner.

=== Linux === 


Most Linux applications are distributed as simple .tar.bz2 archives which can be unpacked by the user wherever they wish. The archive should be structured as follows:

    * appname/
          o application.ini
          o components/
                + ... components which are part of the application 
          o chrome/
                + ... chrome which is part of the application 
          o ... additional application files such as icons, etc
          o myapplicationname (This is the "stub executable"... you should copy and rename this file         
            from xulrunner-stub in your XULRunner installation.)
          o xulrunner/
                + ... copy xulrunner/ to this directory
