ChromeLL-2.0 is an add-on for Mozilla Firefox, built using the WebExtensions API.

Install by downloading the source, unpacking it to a folder, then loading it in chrome with "Load Unpacked Extension".

NOTE this is the development version and may not always work. Please download the stable release at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/chromell-for-firefox/ for normal use

================== BUILD INSTRUCTIONS

This extension is now set up to use google's closure compiler before distribution, which opens us up to optimize the code in many ways, as well as makes the extension smaller and (theoretically) faster.

When developing, you can load the unpacked extension per usual. However, before a pull request is made, you should test with a compiled version of the js. Run the compile process by running the make command in the root directory, then import the unpacked extension from the build/ directory created. make clean will delete intermediate builds from build/ when you need.

The Makefile requires a few *nix-like commands including make (obviously), mkdir, cp, and rm to be included in your PATH. The Closure compiler also requires that you have Java 7 or above installed. The Cygwin, gnuwin32, and MinGW versions of these programs have been successfully tested.

Don't forget to add new targets to the Makefile if you add a new file to the extension.

SUMMARY: 1) to build run make in the ChromeLL-2.0-for-Firefox directory. 2) to clean run make clean in the ChromeLL-2.0-for-Firefox directory.
