Hi,

I've started exploring XUL Runner as a potential tool for an upcoming app.

I can get some good examples running using the command line xulrunner-bin myapp.

How can compile it all in a native looking application, like SongBird does.

I understand SongBird packages the entire xul runtime with it, and I'm happy with that. I'm just wondering is there are any tool I can use to compile my xul project as a standalone app?

Any Mac and/or PC hint much appreciated!

EDIT: I guess what I'm looking for is a way to generate a Mac and/or PC XUL stub application (but not an installer). Is there something like that?

cheers Ben
