------------------------------------------------------------------------

This guide uses UPLOADR to indicate the root of the Flickr Uploadr
source tree on your filesystem.  It probably shouldn't contain spaces.

You can obtain the Flickr Uploadr source code from either a tarball or
from Subversion.

Download tarball:
  http://flickr.com/tools/uploadr/

Checkout from Subversion:
  $ svn co http://code.flickr.com/svn/trunk/uploadr UPLOADR


XULRunner
------------------------------------------------------------------------

XULRunner trunk builds:
  ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/nightly/latest-trunk/

Note: You want the version *without* 'sdk' in the name.

Gecko SDK
------------------------------------------------------------------------

To build the XPCOM components you will need the Gecko SDK:
  http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Gecko_SDK#Downloading

Place the SDK here:
  UPLOADR/MacUploadr.app/Contents/Resources/gecko-sdk.lin

These SDKs are from the Gecko 1.8 series and so are only safe to use
if the XPCOM components use only frozen interfaces.  Fortunately,
Uploadr currently falls into this category.


API Keys
------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll need your own API key and secret from Flickr to build Uploadr.
These can be obtained at http://flickr.com/services/api/.  The key
and secret must be placed in flKey.cpp in the spaces provided. Copy
flKey.cpp.template to flKey.cpp and insert your keys:

  UPLOADR/MacUploadr.app/Contents/Resources/components/flKey.cpp.template
  UPLOADR/MacUploadr.app/Contents/Resources/components/flKey.cpp

The API key is stored as a string.  The secret is stored as individual
characters so it is not easily readable from the binary.

There are blocks to keep both a Windows and Mac key/secret in the same
source file (you certainly don't have to, though).  This is mainly
important for the official builds.

Building XPCOM components

If you make any changes to the IDL files defining the XPCOM interfaces,
you must increment the BuildID defined in:
