Prequisites?
Hi - I wonder if someone can helpme out with the prereqs for this module. Ultimately I am interested in the Mozilla DOM tree emcapuslated by module Mozilla-DOM, not so mucj the visual aspects of the browser.

But it looks like Mozilla-DOM requires this module. So be it.

On my machine, do I get any libraries needed by installing either Firefox or Mozilla? If so, does the version matter? If not, does the make file buld them directly (where does it get the source if that is what happens?).

Eventually I will be interested in the answers for Linux, Windows, and Mac in that order, but for now I am most interested in the details for Linux, and looking ahead for Windows.

Thanks,

Barry

Re: Prequisites?

All the dependencies of Gtk2::MozEmbed are listed in its README. It needs these Perl modules:

ExtUtils::Depends,
ExtUtils::PkgConfig,
Glib >= 1.060,
Gtk2 >= 1.081.

And either mozilla-gtkmozembed >= 1.7 or firefox-gtkmozembed >= 1.0. Installing either Mozilla or Firefox and the associated development package should get you everything you need.

No, the Makefile.PL does not fetch and build Mozilla or Firefox. When you install via CPAN.pm or CPANPLUS.pm, the other dependencies will be automatically installed, though (modulo some current issues).
