Building

Currently only building for the iOS simulator is working. There is a mozconfig to use in the tree under build/, and then you need to build an embedding app using XCode.

First, build Gecko:

export MOZCONFIG=`pwd`/build/iphone-simulator-mozconfig
./mach build

Next, open embedding/ios/GeckoEmbed/GeckoEmbed.xcodeproj in XCode. Change the target to some variant of the iOS simulator (click on the GeckoEmbed icon just beside the play and stop buttons), then select Product -> Build For -> Running. You should then be able to do Product -> Run if the build was successful, and the simulator should open eventually showing mozilla.org.

The XCode project has an external build step to rebuild Gecko using make binaries, so once you've done a full Gecko build you can edit and rebuild from XCode.
