Xpidl is a tool used to generate information about the XPCOM interface based on the description file of the XPIDL interface. It will automatically generate:

* C ++ header file (. h), which contains a complete declaration of the C ++ interface with annotations.
* Java interface file (. java)
* The XPConnect typelib file (. xpt) defines the runtime type information of the dynamic calling of the XPCOM object through XPConnect.
* HTML format document (.html)

Compile xpidl

The implementation of xpidl is based on the libIDL compiler in the Gnome project. the glib library that the libIDL compiler depends on also comes from the gnome project. the Mozilla IDL compiler is a part of Mozilla's entire compilation process. We use it to generate the header file of the XPCOM component. for details about how to obtain libIDL and glib, see Build Documentation.

Unix: If you only want to compile xpidl itself, you only need to compile a few directories. after obtaining the mozilla source code, run 'configure '. Then, compile the following command in the dist/bin directory to translate xpidl:

Make-C config
Make-C nsprpub
Make-C xpcom/typelib

Use IDL

The xpidl build page describes how to add an IDL file to the compilation process of Mozilla. XPIDL can also be executed in the form of command lines on Unix and Windows:

Usage:./xpidl-m mode [-w] [-v] [-t version number]
[-I path] [-o basename |-e filename. ext] filename. idl
-A emit annotations to typelib
-W turn on warnings (recommended)
-V verbose mode (NYI)
-T create a typelib of a specific version number
-I add entry to start of include path for ''# include" nsIThing. idl"
-O use basename (e.g. ''/tmp/nsIThing) for output
-E use explicit output filename
-M specify output mode:
Header Generate C ++ header (. h)
Typelib Generate XPConnect typelib (. xpt)
Doc Generate HTML documentation (.html)
Java Generate Java interface (. java)
As mentioned above, how can I install this IDL in my system? Otherwise, the gecko sdk cannot be loaded. I just want to install an mplayer plugin, so I have encountered so many installation requests, the head is dead,
Why can't I proceed to the next step?
My installation is as follows:
[Root @ localhost home] # cd mplayerplug-in-3.55
[Root @ localhost mplayerplug-in-3.55] #./configure -- with-gecko-sdk =/home/gecko-sdk
