need help building PyXPCOM - which version of Mozilla does it build with?

[Chris Knight]

Which version (date?) of Mozilla have you been able to build PyXPCOM
against on Linux (Mandrake 9) using the integrated build process, not
the stupid makefiles?

Ok, here's my details:

The eventual target platform for embedding gecko via PyXPCOM is Windows,
so if anyone knows of a binary distribution of PyXPCOM, I'd be ecstatic.

Needless to say, being the cross-platform guy that I am, I'd like to
also build PyXPCOM for Linux, esp. as we may move our target platform to
Linux and/or OSX, so I don't want to have to re-tool my XPCOM
application for the platform changes and also because I do most of my
development in Linux.

I'd prefer to use the latest and greatest version of Mozilla, but it
appears that the nsOutputConsoleStream class has been depricated out of
the latest CVS, I can either try to fix it (and post patches) or
(preferred) I can go back to the version that others report having
success with building PyXPCOM. (And perhaps, later work on the patches.)

The 1.1 branch should work. Sometime between then and now the trunk
stopped.

One day I will find the time to fix this - however, it is very hard to
stay motivated when the many other patches I make for areas other than
PyXPCOM just rot, in some cases for nearly 2 years.

So maybe I will just schedule this fix once all my other patches listed
in Bugzilla get traction <wink/sigh>. It is no fun when everything
seems to flow in one direction.

Mark.
