Porting over an XUL App

[kokhoor]

Hi,

I have a very old XUL app that runs on Windows and on XUL 1.8.1.3.

I am hoping can port over to UXP, and am trying Goanna_6.0. Is this right place to start?

I compiled Goanna_6.0 branch and end up with following folder: UXP\obj-i686-pc-mingw32\dist\bin, with following files:

• .purgecaches

• js-gdb.py

• js.exe

• mozglue.dll

• mozjs-6.dll

• nspr4.dll

• plc4.dll

• plds4.dll

I built using Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition, mozbuild 3.3, using: 'mach build' in the UXP folder.

Is this correct? Can I start using this to run an xul application? Previously I run using: xulrunner\xulrunner application.ini -jsconsole

Any guidance or sample XUL application boilerplate will be appreciated.

Regards,
Kok Hoor

Here is the example application for the UXP Platform, but I dont know if it still builds. it hasn't been updated in a while.

Maybe you can integrate your own application with that starting point. Looks like the client.mk also includes some build instructions, but I'm no developer.
