<title>Embedding distribution information</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>This is the Embedding distribution of <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/">Mozilla</a>. It
serves as a reference and smoketest distribution to demonstrate a typical
subset of Mozilla needed to embed it into another application. The
distribution contains sample applications for testing and development purposes.</p>
<p>Please note the phrase<i> typical subset</i>! If you want to use a different
subset then see the <a href="#cust">customizing the embedding distribution</a>
section below.</p>
<h2>Where can I find more information about embedding? </h2>

<p>The Embedding project page - <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/embedding/">http://www.mozilla.org/projects/embedding/</a>.
This page should serve as your main point of information for learning how to
embed Mozilla in your own applications.</p>

<h2>Contents </h2>
<p>The distribution contains, libraries, resources and chrome. All of this
is a subset of Mozilla, repackaged for embedding. The layout follows the
usual Mozilla directory, i.e. </p>
<ul>
<li>./ - Test applications, launch scripts and core libraries (xpcom, nspr
etc.)</li>
<li>./components/ - XPCOM components (network, graphics, layout, content,
etc.).</li>
<li>./chrome/ - chrome files. In embedding most of the chrome has been
re-packaged into a single embed.jar file to make it more manageable.</li>
<li>./res/ - miscellaneous rendering and parser files.</li>
<li>./defaults/ - default preference settings</li>
</ul>
<h3>Unix</h3>
<h4>TestGtkEmbed</h4>
<p>A simple browser application built using the GTK+ Browser Widget.</p>
<h4>GTK+ Browser Widget</h4>
<p>A GTK+ widget for embedding Mozilla into GTK+/GNOME applications such as <a href="http://galeon.sourceforge.net/">Galeon</a>.
More information about the widget may be found here <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/unix/gtk-embedding.html">http://www.mozilla.org/unix/gtk-embedding.html</a>. </p>
<h3>Windows</h3>
<h4>MFCEmbed</h4>
<p>A complete browser application written in MFC and the Gecko embedding APIs.
This application demonstrates and exercises the functionality necessary to
put together a fully featured browser using Gecko.</p>
<h4>Mozilla ActiveX Control</h4>
<p>An ActiveX browser control built with the embedding APIs. You may use the
control to embed a browser inside applications
written in VB, Delphi etc. More information about the control including
installation instructions may be found at <a href="http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm">http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm</a>.
</p>
<h3>Macintosh </h3>
<p>There is no Macintosh distribution at present, though an embedding test application PPEmbed is built as part of a standard Mac build. Work on <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/ports/fizzilla/Mach.html">Fizilla
Mach</a> may also yield a Mac embedding distribution in the future. </p>
<h2>Installation and Usage </h2>
<h3>Unix</h3>
<ol>
<li>Untar the embedding distribution into an empty directory of your
choice.</li>
<li>From the command-line, cd into the directory and type
'./run-mozilla.sh ./TestGtkEmbed'</li>
</ol>
<h3>Windows </h3>
<ol>
<li>Unzip the embedding distribution into an empty directory of your
choice.</li>
<li>Double-click on mfcembed.exe</li>
</ol>
<h2><a name="cust">Customizing the embedding distribution</a></h2>
<p>The embedding distribution is produced by first building the full Mozilla
source and cherry picking files and chrome into a separate embedding directory.
Basically the steps are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Build Mozilla as usual</li>
<li>cd mozilla/embedding/config</li>
<li>make</li>
</ol>
<p>The embedding distribution will appear in mozilla/dist/Embed.</p>
<p>The build process works by reading a file called basebrowser-win (or
basebrowser-unix, basebrowser-mac-macho etc.) and copying the listed files from
mozilla/dist/bin into mozilla/dist/Embed. It then reads a file called embed-jar.mn
and repackages the specified chrome files and directories into a single
embed.jar.</p>
<p>The build process also also looks for a file called client-win (or client-unix,
client-mac-macho etc.) and if present copies from there as well. This file
allows embedders to specify files to be added or removed from the default
embedding distribution. </p>
<p>For example if you wanted a distribution containing character converters for
various character sets, but not the ActiveX control you might define a
client-win like this:</p>
<pre>[Embed]
components\ucvja.dll
components\ucvko.dll
components\ucvcn.dll
components\ucvtw.dll
components\ucvtw2.dll
components\ucvibm.dll
-mozctl.dll
-mozctlx.dll</pre>
<p>When the build process is run, the files from embed-win will be copied first
and then those in client-win. Minus signs in front of filenames delete the
files, so the previous example would delete mozctl.dll and mozctlx.dll.</p>
