Excellent. The PyXPCOM builds should work on Mac OS X (at least they are
working on the Mozilla 1.8, as Komodo is using it there).
I think the tricky parts for Mac OS X are going to be:
* building and including PyxpcomExt's own Python 2.5.x (likely as a
Framework)
* pyxpcom library relocation tricks, as the library references will need
to be tweaked (otool -L, install_name_tool)
* universal binaries
The PyxpcomExt builds for Windows and Linux are using a component stub
(.dll, .so) to load the necessary pyxpcom and python pieces, this stub
should not be necessary on the Mac if the "library relocation tricks"
work correctly, as the stub is there to simply load the library
prerequisites which the Mac can already do through @executable_path and
@loader_path library settings.
Cheers,
Todd
