How to run the XUL app on Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

I am trying to create a XUL "Hello World" application on Mac OS X. I download XULRunner from here , then this tutorial , then this tutorial , and then this tutorial ... Nothing worked. So, I looked at it better and found this section , the instructions of which I followed. Unfortunately, it does not work yet. I can even run the application with the command

/Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework/xulrunner-bin $PWD/application.ini

However, the window does not appear and the error does not print. This happens when I try to launch the application using firefox -apptoo.

What could be wrong? Also, does anyone know which tutorial will work? That would be an acceptable answer :)

Thanks in advance!

Following the recommendations of Vladimir Palant, I changed the content chrome/chrome.manifestfrom

content zull file:content/

to

content zull content/

Then, following these instructions , I created a file chrome.manifestin the root directory of the applications whose contents

manifest chrome/chrome.manifest

This is necessary because the default location for chrome.manifestin XULRunner 2.0 is the root directory of the applications.

However, the error No chrome package registered for chrome:///User/brandizzi/sandbox/zull/main.xulpersists. Then I got this: trying to solve the problem, I tried using the full path to the file main.xulin defaults/preferences/prefs.js:

pref("toolkit.defaultChromeURI", "chrome:///User/brandizzi/sandbox/zull/main.xul");

I just changed it to the chrome path ...

pref("toolkit.defaultChromeURI", "chrome://zull/content/main.xul");

... and he worked.

, , . . , -jsconsole XULRunner (, /Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework/xulrunner-bin ~/sandbox/zull/application.ini -jsconsole) .
