Hi All,
Has anyone got a resolution to the xulrunner (JBoss tools) problem for 64 bit windows? I
found the following how to:
"Q: How do I build the 64-bit version of SWT GTK?
A: Follow these steps to extract the 64-bit SWT GTK source code from CVS and produce
your own build:
0.1. Start Eclipse and retrieve the org.eclipse.swt, org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64 and
org.eclipse.swt.tools projects from
dev.eclipse.org (see How to use SWT from CVS, use
.classpath_gtk as the .classpath file in the org.eclipse.swt project).
0.2. Convert SWT's Java and C code from its 32-bit form to 64-bit: * To convert the
Java code in-place, go to the build.xml ant script in the
org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64 project and run its "replace.32.to.64"
target. Once this target has completed you must refresh (F5) the org.eclipse.swt project
in order to pick up the changes. * To convert and build the C code, run the
"buildNatives" target in the same build.xml file. Refresh (F5) the
org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64 project when this target has completed, to pick up the
new libraries.
0.3. You're done! The org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64 project will now contain the
64-bit native libraries, and if you're interested, the 64-bit source code will now be
available in the org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64/src folder."
It sounds easy, but I've had the following problems:
1. Can't get to the CVS repository from eclipse. (I've tried the
dev.eclipse.org
site with /cvsroot/eclipse anonymous and a set of newer parameters listed on the eclipse
website.) This may be a firewall problem but I'm not sure.
2. Attempted to use the SWT .zip file downloaded from eclipse and unzipped as the basis
for a project to follow above steps after creating project, but can't seem to get that
to do what it's suppose to either. I have fooled around with the build.xml, tweaking
and running the targets individually, but no success yet and can't help wondering if
it's really supposed to be this complicated, or if I'm missing something that
I'm just not seeing. Also, when I extracted the inner src.zip file (to the same level
as the zip file itself for lack of any instructions), there were numerous
"ActionErrors cannot be resolved to a type" messages after I refreshed the
project.
Has anyone actually created a 64 bit xulrunner that can be used by the JBoss tool
plugins? If so can you point me to the instructions and/or an actual working example or
steps that will really work?
