Here's the progress so far on v0.1 of the [[Canvas3D_XUL_Runner_App|XUL Runner App]] project. It's not quite complete. ^^;;
=Oct 19 - v0.1=
Objectives semi-met!! I've gone with a build of Firefox 3 for now, since I know how to change it and install extensions for it.
The current package was made with "make package", no arguments. I found some [http://ilias.ca/blog/2005/03/locking-mozilla-firefox-settings/ instructions] for setting up FF with some setting defaults, which I used to set a preset homepage (c3dl.org) and silence the "make Minefield your default browser" message.
You can find my build [http://lycee.omoshiroi.info/t/canvas.win32.zip here]. (The build is for Windows only, possibly WinXP only, possibly not friendly to wireless Internet.)
There are a few usage notes:
*"run.bat" gives you the "--no-remote --profilemanager" options without needing a command line. Feel free to use.
*Profile manager may make the buttons unreadable after you make a new profile: the "start Minefield" button is the one on the bottom left.
*You will be prompted to install the Canvas3d extension when you first start this build. (Say "yes".)
*The "first start for Minefield" page may pop up. This should go away in a later version.
*An infobar will appear for the http://www.c3dl.org/ homepage, asking for permission to make a 3d context. (Say "yes".)
What you can expect:
*There should be a rotating 3d teapot on the C3dL homepage!!
*Any page that requests the Canvas 3d context should be viewable, including the C3dL demos.
What I'm worried about:
*I'm not sure Firefox counts as a "XUL Runner App", although it technically is.
*I don't know how I should be including the C3dL JS library.
