For those interested I put together a Mac Build. I was in the middle of refactoring the playlist when I got side tracked with work and metro stop, so the current state of xulmusic is certainly not pretty… Anyway, I think this still serves as a pretty good example. So, here’s a link to the binary for Mac OSX for those interested. xullicious.com/XULMusic.app.tar.bz2 11M
I found out a couple of things about building firefox 1.0.x on tiger today as I attempt once again at porting Simohealth to the mac. The first thing I did was run:
sudo gcc_select 3.3
Then I created my .mozconfig
. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig</code> ac_add_options --disable-tests ac_add_options --enable-debug ac_add_options --disable-optimize ac_add_options --without-system-nspr ac_add_options --without-system-zlib ac_add_options --without-system-jpeg ac_add_options --without-system-png ac_add_options --without-system-mng ac_add_options --with-macos-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk
Notice I already had MacOSX10.3.9 sdk installed from building xulrunner.
I downloaded the firefox-1.0.6-source.tar.bz2 tar ball.
extracted the tar ball.
cd mozilla/
make -f client.mk build
I started getting errors:

I worked past that error manually only to hit another error:

Seeing this error I decided I still did not having something setup quiet right… So, I signed onto irc and started to explain the build problems… I was very lucky to ge t the help of mento… He kindly directed me to Bug 292530 with Patch 185940
Next he let me know I would need to use autoconf 2.13 not autoconf 2.54
I used apt-get to replace 2.54 with 2.13 and from the advice of some fink devs from freenode.
Next per mento’s advice I ran:
make -f client.mk distclean && autoconf && make -f client.mk build
Now I have a working Mac OSX Firefox 1.0.x debug build to start working with to begin working with to port simo.
On the music player front I’m reworking the playlist control. All the track data is going to be stored in a sqlite database. The displayed information will come from a custom nsITreeView implementation. This should make it possible to include some neat features like showing the playlist by artist or album. Also, it will make it easier to support other types of content like podcasting.
The biggest unknown I have is how drag and drop of rows will work, because I haven’t found any good examples or explanations about how that’s supposed to work.
I was able to greatly simplify playback by removing the separate thread that was being used to notify when playback had finished.
I also fixed the rounding issue that someone else had mentioned in response to one of my earlier posts.
The player now displays the time as you drag the position marker.
I found a bug in mozilla tree view, that I’m currently working on creating a patch for.
I haven’t had too much time to fool around with this code, but I did manage to improve the feed reader support for the upcoming simohealth release. Now, instead of scrapping news.google.com, it grabs the atom.xml feed from their site, caching it daily. I wonder if my asking about support for this at OSCON helped influence the support of a news feed from google. At any rate it certainly makes life a lot easier.
I’ve become much more fimilar with the mac over the last couple of weeks and now have xul music working on the mac as well as it does on linux and win32. I have to admit, I’m very happy with the mac, it’s a pretty cool environment. I’ve been without my linux notebook though for the last few weeks so i’m a little concerned about the state of the gstreamer implementation, but hope to get my linux system within the next few days so I can start working on it again. Heres a screenshot of the Mac xulmusic running:
Recently, I’ve been working on the mac to get xulmusic to work. I made some strides today in reaching that goal. First, I finally got things to link, and I am pretty sure I’m linking correctly now. After xulrunner switched to a Framework from an App Bundle, libxul.dylib disappeared. I found out today, to link to a framework I just needed to include the framework on the command line like so:
g++ $(DIST)/XUL.framework/XUL $(LIBS) $(OBJS) ...
The next thing I found out talking to bsmedberg on irc is xulrunner is going to be distributed as a framework, but include an app bundle for installing xulrunner packages. So, for example xulmusic would be distributed as a zip file, then to install it the xulrunner will read that zip file in and create a new app bundle.
The nice thing about this is all the core code is shared between each xulrunner application. It also means I can create one zip file and distribute it to any xulrunner supported platform and a user will get an icon on the desktop or in the startmenu and run the app by double clicking, etc…
