Progress simply must find the most round-about way of manifesting itself. The solution will be at your fingertips, but you'll have to walk a mile and 3/4 light year to get to it. It's like Mouse Trap, but many orders greater in complexity and many orders lesser in amusement...
Adventure into the Abyss
- Started off trying to get MyBrowser working on Mac in the ORI (Spain)
- Found this site and recognized it from 0.1 (helpful!): https://developer.mozilla.org/En/XULRunner:Deploying_XULRunner_1.8
- Began changing folder structure to match the example for Mac OS X
- Started looking for location of Mozilla source on this computer
- Found Minefield in Applications folder, but couldn't check its properties for the shortcut target
- Is clearly a Windows user, and does not understand the Mac paradigm. :/
- Required /Library/Frameworks/.../1.8/ according to the guide, this computer only has 1.9 and no Hg
- Downloaded Mozilla source from one of Humph's labs
- Modified .mozconfig to handle XUL Runner
- Discovered that there is no XUL Runner code in the lab's version of Mozilla source... (not so helpful)
- Still can't find a stub executable for Mac OS
- Realized that MyBrowser needs moz 1.9, not 1.8!!
- Still does not fix the missing XUL Runner code issue...
