FAQ

Q

I am trying to port our XUL application to OS X. However when I run xulrunner from the command line it fails silently without feedback. The xulrunner-bin executable runs for about 4-5 seconds, then exits. It outputs no message to the console or system logs and returns code 0 to the shell. Passing the -console and/or -jsconsole options have no effect on this behaviour. I have tried several other XUL applications as well as ours, with the same result. I downloaded the OSX xulrunner .dmg files and installed them using the standard OSX package installer. I am not trying to install applications, just run them from their own directory using

/path/to/xulrunner-bin application.ini

My system is OS X Intel 10.4.7. I get the same result using xulrunner 1.8.0.1, 1.8.0.4 and the latest nightly 1.8. Can anyone give me any pointers on how to pin down this problem?


A

In order for applications to run on mac, they must be in an application bundle (Foo.app). The xulrunner

-install-app

flag can be used to "unpack" a XUL app into the correct mac bundle structure.
