Makefile for packaging an extension
From MozillaZine Knowledge Base
here is my proposal for a Makefile
after you set the variables run
make -f Makefile.mozextention
or rename it to Makefile and just run
make
This will create the directory structures and files for project reffered by variable PROJECT.
If you run
make -f Makefile.mozextention package
or
make package
than you'll have a XPI package under PROJECT
copy paste the script into file called Makefile.mozextention
it should work under windows too with a proper make utility
have fun
and here is the file itself
## This Makefile.mozextention is for the test extension
PROJECT=test
PROJECT_NAME=TestWorld
