How to make a cab installer of Windows Mobile Fennec build

Posted on Apr 13, 2009

When you finish building Fennec for Windows Mobile, you might ask, "How can I install Fennec on my Windows Mobile handset?" and "Where is the installer?"

The Fennec build system creates only a zip file in objdir/mobile/dist. You can install Fennec using this zip file, but it is cumbersome. Fortunately, the Fennec team has released Fennec for Windows Mobile as a cab installer.

So how can you make a cab installer? Move to objdir/mobile/mobile/installer and then run the Makefile as follows:

$ make installer

After that, you can find a cab installer in objdir/mobile/dist.
