* WebIDE is trying to make developing Gaia more easily by clicking a button without any command line tricks. It triggers building process by invoking "make" currently. After rewriting Makefile to pure JS module to take over it's job, WebIDE can build Gaia without any dependencies. (such as make and node) | |||
:To install [http://nodejs.org/ Node.js] may be a little bit inconvenient. Since Node provides a great installer for all platform, so it won't frustrate so many users to get started with hacking Gaia. After installing Node, we can build up new features quickly by NPM packages and speed up rewriting Makefile to pure JS. I'm pretty sure and still believe that NPM ecosystem will bring lots of benefits more than XULRunner. | |||
