Running brackets

Currently Brackets with Crosswalk works only on Linux. We'll need three separate parts:

• Crosswalk. This is our application that runs web content. We'll build the cmarcelo/brackets branch.

• Brackets. Repository with HTML/JS files that implement the Brackets editor. We are using cmarcelo/test branch, because we need some modifications that are not available upstream.

• Brackets-Crosswalk. The extension that adds features to Crosswalk so Brackets can run.

Steps

1. Follow the regular steps to build Crosswalk. The remaining instructions will assume that Crosswalk base directory is ~/dev/crosswalk. That directory should contain an src subdirectory, and inside src, there's a xwalk directory.

2. cd ~/dev/crosswalk/src/xwalk

3. git remote add cmarcelo git@github.com:cmarcelo/xwalk.git

4. git fetch cmarcelo

5. git checkout -b brackets cmarcelo/brackets

6. python gyp_xwalk

7. cd ..

8. ninja -C out/Release xwalk

9. At this point there must be a ~/dev/crosswalk/src/out/Release/xwalk executable

10. cd ~/dev

11. git clone git@github.com:cmarcelo/brackets.git

12. cd brackets

13. git checkout -b test origin/test

14. git submodule update --init

15. cd ~/dev

16. git clone git@github.com:otcshare/brackets-crosswalk.git

17. cd brackets-crosswalk

18. make

19. There should be a ~/dev/brackets-crosswalk/brackets.so file after make runs.

20. ./run-brackets.sh ~/dev/crosswalk/src/out/Release/xwalk ~/dev/brackets (you may need to install realpath package for it to work, at least on Ubuntu it's needed).

It should be possible to see a menu bar with native look and feel. Note that not all features are working at the moment.
