Building the Component

The code is intended to reside within extensions/xmlextras in the Mozilla source tree.  The following commands should be sufficient to download the code and build it:

cd mozroot/extensions/xmlextras
cvs -d :pserver:guest@mozdev.org:/cvs login
cvs -d :pserver:guest@mozdev.org:/cvs co \
  expatcom/Makefile expatcom/Makefile.in \
  expatcom/public expatcom/src expatcom/test
cd expatcom
gmake -s

where mozroot is the Mozilla build root directory.  You could just checkout the entire expatcom directory, but you get a bunch of stuff you don't really need that way, like the HTML page you are currently reading.

The component you build will be installed into the dist directory in the Mozilla build tree.  If you have the dist/bin directory on your path you should be able to execute gmake testjs to run the test script.
