IDL Compiling Library (libIDL)
Last modified: Wed Dec 5 05:52:10 EST 2007
libIDL is my library for CORBA IDL and Mozilla's XPIDL, originally created for the GNOME project (bundled with ORBit), and extended for the Mozilla project close to the beginning of Mozilla (if you are not using Firefox, you should). Newer distributions of libIDL than 0.6.8 (0.8.x and above, with build updates and other changes -- newer versions install as libIDL-2, so they can coexist) are packaged with Fedora and are available on the GNOME FTP site.
Check out the Gecko SDK (check here for Mac OS X instructions).
On many Linux systems you can just type something similar to 'yum install libIDL-devel' as root to install the development files for libIDL.
Consider a donation to the Mozilla foundation.

The latest development sources for libIDL are available on the GNOME CVS server.
