Description

EV_GECKO is a Vision2 widget that allows an easy embedding of mozilla/gecko into Vision2 applications.

It is designed with the Vision2 structure (bridge pattern) to allow a multi-platform implementation, but right now only the Linux version (GTK) is implemented.

Use

The widget is provided as an Eiffel library for EiffelStudio 5.7 (with an .ecf file)


Requirements

  • Vision2
  • In order to use the widget an environment variable (with the name EV_GECKO) has to be set to point to the directory containing the project file (.ecf).
  • The widget requires mozilla and its development files, which are most easily installed through package management systems: package firefox-dev.
