[Enigmail] Using the enigmail IPC library in another extension.

[John Evans]

Hi,

Much like Patrick Brunschwig who posted here earlier this month, I am trying
to use the IPC library from enigmail in my own extension.  I would prefer to
not have to compile my own version if possible.  I seems to me that I should
just be able to copy the .xpt and .dylib files (I am currently trying to get
this working on OS X (ppc)) to the components directory of my extension and
then start using them... but when I try, e.g. :

Components.classes['@
mozilla.org/process/ipc-service;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIIPCService)
;

I get the following error:

Components.classes['@mozilla.org/process/ipc-service;1'] has no properties

which makes it seem as if the components are not finding their way into the
XPCOM registry.

I am not that familiar with Firefox/Mozilla/XPCOM/etc.  Am I missing
something simple?  Is my assumption that I should be able to just copy the
components directory over and access the ipc service straight away correct?
Am I on the right track?

Thanks,
-
John
