Try this build and tell me if it works. It's GTK2/x86 ->

It looks like your preprocessor is not set up right. See the 
installation instructions for it here -> 
http://www.vortoj.com/sjpp/readme.html.

You need the JAR file in your path (which ant should do automatically) 
and in your $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory.

For being a write-once run-anywhere language, you sure have to do a lot 
of platform-specific things :). I'll correct that in version 0.3.1 which 
I'll release when I get time.

I personally don't like Eclipse because it requires add-ons to achieve 
any kind of flexibility and that causes conflicts with many of the 
applications I develop. I don't have the time or money to create add-ons 
so eclipse likes my current build environment. MozCreator is designed to 
be more flexible and not have a specific build system. If you're an 
eclipse fan and want to develop XUL applications using that, you can 
check out Solid (http://solid.mozdev.org) which is a XUL editor add-on 
for Eclipse.

Goals:
* Flexible structure for building, debugging, and running applications. 
An IDE that won't get in your way or force programmers to do things the 
IDE's way.
* A couple of useful tools, like a XML DOM tree provided for convience, 
macros, etc.
* Provide lots of templates to aide programmers and make an interface 
that would be good for beginners, like context-sensitive help.
* Code auto-completion
* other things?
