This will be where I'll post links to changes and new files to get the
Mac-necessary stuff checked in for Waterfall.  Browser side (XPCOM) only

Need to enter changes to two files in:

http://homepage.mac.com/mrjplugin/wf/81223/81223.diffs

which are:
in nsJavaHTMLObjectFactory.cpp, the Mac needs nsCRT.h to be included if it's to find nsCRT::strdup

in nsPluggableJVM.cpp,
the whole PR_GetSharedLibrary doesn't appear to work on the Mac, so for now nop the getenv call
and write a temporary loadPluginDLL().  This function looks for a shared library with fragment "jvmp"
(can't call it "jvmp.shlb" as the period seems to be a problem for GetSharedLibrary) next to the app, NOT
in the dist/viewer/Components folder.

Add a build folder, /java/pluggable-jvm/wf_moz6/macbuild/ which contains the following files:

Waterfall.idl.mcp (compile both targets and put an alias of the .xpt into the Components folder)
Waterfall.mcp (the XPCOM component.  Put an alias of the .shlb into the Components folder)
waterfall.prefix.h

http://homepage.mac.com/mrjplugin/wf/81223/wf_moz6_macbuild/Waterfall.idl.mcp
http://homepage.mac.com/mrjplugin/wf/81223/wf_moz6_macbuild/Waterfall.mcp
http://homepage.mac.com/mrjplugin/wf/81223/wf_moz6_macbuild/waterfall.prefix.h

The .mcp's are binaries which are the project files, similar to makefiles.

Add the folder /java/pluggable-jvm/wf/public/mac/ which just contains the same files as the linux folder,
jni_md.h and jvmp.h

http://homepage.mac.com/mrjplugin/wf/81223/wf_public_mac/jni_md.h
http://homepage.mac.com/mrjplugin/wf/81223/wf_public_mac/jvmp.h

To build, you must get rid of the jni.h file (it's real old, v.1.28) and use a newer one.  I use v1.47 and put
it in wf/public/

All these links will become invalid after the stuff gets checked in.

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".
