This Makefile is a modification of the Makefile.mozextention, found in Makefile for packaging an extension - MozillaZine Knowledge Base (2005).
Note that the original Makefile.mozextention merely repeats the steps in Getting started with extension development - MozillaZine Knowledge Base (2008). The same goes for this slight Makefile rework here.
NOTE: Unfortunately, this wiki system at developer.mozilla.org will try to parse xml declarations - even if they are within a pre tag!! Which is why the code shown below is corrupt - so you may wanna click on edit and view source instead !! Then again if you do that, all of the < > will be quoted as & lt ; so again it will be corrupt :(
- Therefore, here is a direct link to this makefile: Makefile.mozextension2
## file: Makefile.mozextension2
## based on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Makefile_for_packaging_an_extension
## "This Makefile.mozextention is for the test extension"
## the original Makefile.mozextention reconstructs http://kb.mozillazine.org/Getting_started_with_extension_development
# call with:
# make -f Makefile.mozextension2 make_structure
## (without args for 'all')
# note: @echo silent; without @ the command is written in stdout
