====Putting XULRunner on a Device==== | |||
Thanks to Tim Zander for pointing out that no one ever explains how to get XULRunner onto a device. | |||
NOTE: DO NOT FORGET to copy a mozce_shunt.dll executable from the TOPSRCDIR/build/wince/shunt/build/vs8 or TOPSRCDIR/build/wince/shunt/build/vs9 directory into the OBJDIR/dist/bin directory BEFORE copying the whole directory onto a external card or directly onto your device. | |||
You currently (as of 10-Dec-2008) have two options for getting XULRunner on to a device: | |||
(1) If your device takes a plug-in expansion card, copy the OBJDIR/dist/bin | |||
directory on to a expansion card from your PC, then place that expansion | |||
card into your device. | |||
(2) If your device has a LOT of internal storage (i.e., the HTC Touch Diamond | |||
has 4GBytes of internal storage), then you can teather your device to | |||
your PC, and use ActiveSync's File Explorer to copy the OBJDIR/dist/bin | |||
directory onto your device. | |||
On my PC, the OBJDIR/dist/bin directory is located at c:\hg\mozilla-central\objdir-wm6-dbg\xulrunner\dist\bin, and is approximately 32 MBytes large. | |||
Once you have the executables on your device, you can launch the executables via: | |||
(A) The Visual Studio IDE (for debugging) | |||
(B) Via RAPI remote execute command | |||
(C) Via File Explorer on the device | |||
(D) Via specially-created shortcut | |||
====Creating Shortcut for XULRunner==== | |||
You can make a shortcut link to execute the command you want under Windows Mobile / WinCE. Here is how: | |||
A Shortcut Link File is a text file with an extension .LNK with one line in a very particular format: | |||
NN#THE_COMMAND_LINE_GOES_HERE | |||
Where: | |||
NN: Number of characters in the whole command line | |||
THE_COMMAND_LINE_GOES_HERE: The actual command you would execute | |||
(as if you were running in a DOS box on WinXP) | |||
Some things to watch out for: | |||
(1) It is a LOT safer to use a full path to your executable | |||
(2) If the full path to your executable contains any spaces, you | |||
HAVE to wrap the full path to your executable with double-quotes | |||
(3) Any space not wrapped inside a double-quote will signal the OS that | |||
an argument has ended and another argument is beginning | |||
(4) If your arguments have spaces in them, again wrap the whole single | |||
argument in double-quotes | |||
Here is an example: | |||
64#"\Program Files\MyDir\MyExe.exe" "First Argument" SecondArgument | |||
There is also an app that you can use called [http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/shortcutcreator.shtml ''Shortcut Creator'']. | |||
Place your newly created shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs (or one of its sub-folders). You MAY want to place your shortcut in the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games folder, because WinMobile 6 does not automatically update the Start Menu's contents until its next reboot. However, each sub-directory of the Start menu is re-evaluated every time you open the corresponding folder in the Start menu. | |||
