How to deploy XULRunner

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
