Basic authentication doesn't work if the cache is enabled.  Workaround: disable 
cache.  Bugs: bug 59866 and bug 61669.

# IMPORTANT: on Linux, if building webclient with a non-debug mozilla
# tree, the libwidget_gtk.so binary produced will not work with
# webclient.  Namely, the symbol handle_gdk_event__FP9_GdkEventPv will
# be defined locally, not globaly, as is required.  For the webclient
# 1.0 release, we're going to bundle a libwidget_gtk.so with the xpi.
# If you want to do a non-debug build of your own, you must make sure
# yor libwidget_gtk.so is linked without these options:

# -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED

# and with these options

# -DNDEBUG -DDEBUG_edburns

# If your libwidget_gtk.so has this symbol:

# 0003b2d0 T handle_gdk_event__FP9_GdkEventPv

# with the capital T, you're ok.  The version of libwidget_gtk.so used
# in the webclient 1.0 bundle is available at:
# 
<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/blackwood/webclient/bin/1.0/libwidget_gtk.so>.
# to build WEBCLIENT_PACKAGE_BUILD on linux, grab libwidget_gtk.so from
# the above URL and put it in the same directory as this file.

To build, you must define BUILD_WEBCLIENT_ONLY.

Comment 4

[edburns]

On Win32, you must remove the java plugin to run webclient.

Also due to bug 70656 you must have a profile named "default" without the quotes
in order to run webclient.

Comment 5

[edburns]

Exiting webclient on win32 after bringing up the dom viewer window will cause 
the webclient to crash on exit.

Comment 6

[edburns]

On Solaris, make sure gtk libs are in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Comment 7

[edburns]

The mozilla into which you have installed webclient must have been installed 
using the XPInstall installation method.  Otherwise, there may be permission 
problems installing the webclient binary.

When using the DOM viewer, the text field that displays the text of the
currently selected node isn't sized properly.  Can someone please fix this?

[edburns]

Due to bug 64332, you must use JDK1.3.1 beta.

Since this bug hasn't been touched since May of 2001, can this be closed?

No change since 6 years. I think we can close this bug.
