I've seen some support for Gecko 1.9 in cvs and while I understand that it's not probably fully supported yet, it'd like to try it.

I already spent one day trying to compile the whole thing. I got Gecko from Mozilla's trunk and after few tries I managed to compile it (had to add --enable-xpcom-obsolete option for --enable-application=suite to work).
After I defined GECKO_VERSION=19 for K-Meleon, it almost worked. "Almost" meaning that there are only three unresolved externals left.

Then I realized that I've chosen the wrong approach. It's pointless to try to play with K-Meleon when I'm not sure that I got the base (Mozilla) right.

So I'd like to ask:

1) Which Gecko 1.9 is it supposed to work with? Is trunk ok, or should I get some specific release?

2) What should be the exact content of .mozconfig?

Thanks in advance.

Well, Just for testing, you can try K-MeleonCCF ME 0.09 Beta1

It's Gecko 1.9 + KM 1.5 + NON-XUL

I tried it, I like it and everything, but I'd like to play with it a little more, have possibility to change some things if needed, ...

I found your buildconfig, but --enable-application=kmeleon doesn't sound like something that will work with standard Mozilla source. Would you mind sharing some info about it? Please.

Now in the CVS
http://kmeleon.cvs.sourceforge.net/kmeleon/mozilla/

Thank you, it really works!

Now I have almost fully working K-Meleon. Well, still far from fully working, I wasn't even able to compile some plugins yet, the chrome is missing, ... But it is able to browse web and it's a good start.

Good to hear that.

Building plugins should be easier. But for history plugin, you also need to define GECKO_VERSION 19. And make sure you get all autocomplete*.h you need.

BTW, does your build exe also have the problem of exiting correctly?

K-Meleon itself and most of the plugins compiled without any major problem (not counting adding some include path or something like that).

I should point out that I'm using MSVC9, so it's probably the reason for lot of the following problems:

Bookmarks plugin does not compile, because it has string type mismatches almost everywhere (88 errors total). I din't look more into it yet, there are two more bookmarks plugins available to use.

Macros2 has minor problems because of more strict compiler.

I can't compile JSBridge. At first there were problems with some macros in nsGenericFactory.cpp, probably something from older Mozilla code, I couldn't find them in current source. I changed the file according to the one with the same name in K-Meleon's main directory, so compiler is now happy, but linker somehow managed to find three unresolved external symbols. They seem to be existing functions, but with wrong type parameters (if I correctly understand how the identifiers are created). I'm currently trying to find where it got messed up.

Other than that, things seem to work.

Exiting problem is present. If I just start the browser and close it, then it's ok. But if I do something first, like open few pages, then it does not work correctly.

@Hao, Just a thought but I have been using FF3b5 in Linux a lot this week and it crashes on exit quite a bit--mabye something to do with Flash 9--who knows, but I have been using the windows version since beta 1 and haven't seen that.

Have you fixed this? I've run in the same problems especially with Macros2.

Ok I finally fixed all the problems with Macros2 and JSbridge.

Do you think you will release a test version?
I really wanna try and test it.

There is an already Gecko 1.9 version of K-Meleon here:
