GWT on Ubuntu

Had a hard job getting this to work. But as usual the solution is quite simple:

  1. Download and unzip http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/tools/redist/mozilla/mozilla-1.7.13.tar.gz
  2. Add $INSTALLED_MOZILLA (e.g. /code/mozilla-1.7.13) to mozilla-hosted-browser.conf in the GWT
  3. Add $INSTALLED_MOZILLA (e.g. /code/mozilla-1.7.13) to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf (can be any file in that dir ending in conf)
  4. run ldconfig
  5. Start your app and have fun!

If you see gwt-linux-1.5.2/libgwt-ll.so: undefined symbol: JS_PropertyStub then your mozilla-hosted-browser.conf needs to be set to the downloaded mozilla from set 1. Looks like the newer Firefox and Seamonkey dont have this symbol.
