<h1>Building the Python XPCOM package.</h1>

<p>This file describes how to build the Python XPCOM C++ sources.</p>
<p>There are the following steps</p>
<ul>
  <li><a href="#ConfiguringTheEnvironment">Configure environment variables</a></li>
  <li><a href="#BuildingTheSources">Building the sources</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Testing etc is described in the <a href="../readme.html">main readme</a>.</p>
<h2><a name="ConfiguringTheEnvironment">Configuring environment variables</a></h2>
<h3> MOZ_SRC&nbsp;</h3>
<p><b>Windows: </b>Run the standard MOZENV.BAT used to build Mozilla.&nbsp; This
sets MOZ_SRC</p>
<p><b>Unix:</b> Set MOZ_SRC to point to the base source directory -  assumes
&quot;mozilla&quot; sub-directory with mozilla directory  tree under that. eg: assuming
<i>/home/user/src/mozilla/dist/...</i>&quot;</p>
<pre>export MOZ_SRC=/home/user/src</pre>
<h3>PYTHON_SRC</h3>
<p><b>Windows:</b> Set <i> PYTHON_SRC</i> to point to the base Python source  directory.&nbsp;
eg: assuming <i>c:\src\python\PCBuild\...</i><pre>set PYTHON_SRC=c:\src\python</pre>
<p>Unix: Set PYTHON_SRC to point to the base of an &quot;installed&quot; Python
tree. eg:<pre>export PYTHON_SRC=/usr/local/ActivePython-1.6</pre>
<h2><a name="BuildingTheSources">Building the sources</a></h2>
<p>You must ensure some environment variables are setup.&nbsp; The section on <a href="#ConfiguringTheEnvironment">configuring
environment variables explains how.</a></p>
<p>There are 2 build processes to run All C++ sources are in the <i>xpcom\src</i>
 directory.:</p>
<h3>Windows</h3>
<ul>
  <li> Execute &quot;compile.py&quot; in this directory.  This will take <i>Setup.in</i>, create an MSDev project, and build
    <i>..\_xpcom.pyd</i> and <i>..\_xpcom_d.pyd</i>&quot;</li>
  <li> Change to the <i>loader</i> directory.</li>
  <li> Run <i>nmake -f makefile.win</i>.  This will create <i>pyloader.dll</i>,  and
    automatically copy it to the Mozilla build directory.</li>
 <a href="#ConfiguringTheEnvironment">
  </ul>
  <p>Finally, </a><a href="../readme.html#RunningTheTests">run the tests</a>,
  where we also test everything imports correctly.</p>
<h3>Linux</h3>
<p><b> NOTE:</b>  Do not attempt to use &quot;Setup.in&quot; to create a Makefile&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
  <li>Run &quot;make&quot; in this directory.&nbsp; This will create <i>../_xpcommodule.so</i></li>
  <li> Run "make" in the loader directory.  This will create <i>libpyloader.so</i>,
    and copy it to the Mozilla directory.</li>
 <a href="#ConfiguringTheEnvironment">
  </ul>
  <p>Finally, </a><a href="../readme.html#RunningTheTests">running the tests</a>,
  where we also test everything imports correctly.</p>
