A Makefile to install the latest Addon SDK from Mozilla.org

Addon-SDK-Makefile

This gist shows a simple Makefile that you could include with your addon code to help users download and install the Mozilla addon SDK effortlessly.

How To

To install the addon SDK, just type make in the directory holding this Makefile.

It downloads the addon from Mozilla.org ftp site, unpacks it, copies the content to the standard program directories (/usr/local/lib) and finally creates a link in the binary folder (/usr/bin/).

From then on, the command cfx will be available to a user from the terminal.Get more information on the SDK here.

Dependencies

  1. wget
  • make (of course!)

.PHONY: download_cfx, find_cfx, install_cfx, clean
init:
make install_cfx
download_cfx:
@wget -q -O cfx.zip https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/jetpack/jetpack-sdk-latest.zip
@mkdir temp cfx
@unzip -q cfx.zip -d temp
@cp -r temp/*/. cfx
@rm -r temp cfx.zip
@echo "Addon SDK downloaded."
find_cfx:
if [ ! -d cfx ] ; \
then \
make download_cfx ; \
fi ;
install_cfx:
@make find_cfx > /dev/null
@sudo cp -r cfx /usr/local/lib/
@sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/cfx/bin/cfx /usr/bin/cfx
@echo "Addon SDK installed."

@rm -r cfx
@echo "It's now clean.'"
