Patch for Makefile.in
1.61 KB, patch
Details | Diff | Splinter Review
I like to debug my js/xul in a tight edit/run cycle, and the current "make debian package" feels too slow. I've created a new target that creates a mobile application tree that links directly to your source tree. That way, you can run your edits without compiling, making edit/run cycle a lot faster. Submitting a bug just in case you guys find it useful.
Did you mean to attach a patch?
To use it, cd <Your build>/mobile make sourcetreeapp You'll get the instructions on how to run the app straight out of the source tree
doh! --enable-chrome-format=symlink does exactly the same thing! Close this useless patch as invalid.
