Building foo_spider_monkey_panel.dll

1. Download this repository.
2. Change current directory to foo_spider_monkey_panel/scripts.
3. Prepare submodules:
   • If you want to use pre-built SpiderMonkey, execute py setup.py: this script will download and initialize all submodules and will also apply compatibility patches.
   • Otherwise, you can build and use your own Mozilla SpiderMonkey engine binaries (ESR68):
     Instructions

     1. Build SpiderMonkey.
        
     2. Put SpiderMonkey engine binaries and headers in foo_spider_monkey_panel/mozjs folder using the following pattern:
        

        Configuration = Release or Debug
        mozjs / %Configuration% / bin / *.dll | *.pdb
        mozjs / %Configuration% / lib / *.lib
        mozjs / %Configuration% / include / *.h</blockquote>

     3. Execute py setup.py --skip_mozjs.
4. Main solution can be found at foo_spider_monkey_panel/workspaces/foo_spider_monkey_panel.sln.
5. Output artifacts will be placed in foo_spider_monkey_panel/_result/%Configuration%/bin/.

Creating .fb2k-component package

1. Change current directory to foo_spider_monkey_panel/scripts.
2. Execute py pack_component.py: this script will pack all the required files to _result/%Configuration%/foo_spider_monkey_panel.fb2k-component.
   • py pack_component.py --debug will create the package from debug binaries.
