We support building a standalone version of TransforMiiX on Windows, Unix and OS X. Read the build instructions for your platform to get the requirements, they are the same for TransforMiiX as for Mozilla.
You need to get the source from CVS. Add
TX_EXE=1 mk_add_options BUILD_MODULES="xpcom transformiix" ac_add_options --enable-standalone-modules="xpcom transformiix"
to your .mozconfig, and use client.mk to pull as usual. This will pull the necessary subtree with
mozilla/client.mk mozilla/build/unix/modules.mk mozilla/build mozilla/config mozilla/expat mozilla/extensions/transformiix mozilla/include mozilla/allmakefiles.sh mozilla/client.mk mozilla/aclocal.m4 mozilla/configure mozilla/configure.in mozilla/Makefile.in
plus nspr and xpcom from the cvs repository. Building from a full mozilla tree is not supported.
It is recommended to add
ac_add_options --disable-gtktest ac_add_options --without-jpeg ac_add_options --without-zlib ac_add_options --without-png ac_add_options --without-x
to your .mozconfig, too, as it stops configure from testing unneeded libs.
make -f client.mk build
as usual.
Of course,
make -f client.mk
checks out and builds just TransforMiiX alright.
The binary transformiix(.exe) will be in <tt>extensions/transformiix/source</tt> and <tt>dist/bin/</tt> (symbolic link). Run it via <tt>run-mozilla.sh transformiix</tt> on unices and just <tt>transformiix.exe</tt> on Windows.
