A standalone Helloworld XUL example (XULRunner)
Scribbled on Sunday, January 13th, 2008Updated: 2 Aug, 2008 at 11:46 PM IST
I am pretty much impressed by firefox extensions but the extensions still requires firefox to be installed and run.
So here is the way to create standalone XUL application using XULRunner runtime (its like JRE, java runtime that is used to run JAVA application but here), its required to run XUL applications. Songbird is already utilizing the power of XULRunner and XUL and Miro is catching up.
The link to whole example zipped up is HERE
Here is the step by step procedure to set up XULRunner and a HelloWorld example written in XUL.
- Download XUL zip archive from HERE(windows) , others may select the install from HERE according to their operating system.
- Extract it to any directory/folder of your convenience, below screenshot shows the patch where I extracted the zip file.
- Next step is to set up the “path” environment variable, the screenshot is provided below
