I am creating simple XPCOM plugin for firefox by using the code from. blog.peschla.net code is straight forward but Im getting following error: Error 1 error MSB3073: The command "xpidl-build.bat IHelloWorld.idl :VCEnd" exited with code 1. C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets 103 6 HelloWorld I am using firefox 22 hence gecko-sdk version 22 and vs2010 I used following files.
I have given link above which contains all the code but I am giving code below as well
1)HelloWorld.h
#include "HelloWorld.h"
NS_IMPL_ISUPPORTS1(HelloWorld, IHelloWorld)
HelloWorld::HelloWorld()
{
mName.Assign(L"Nameless");
}

/* attribute AString name; */
NS_IMETHODIMP HelloWorld::GetName(nsAString & aName)
{
aName.Assign(mName);
return NS_OK;
}
NS_IMETHODIMP HelloWorld::SetName(const nsAString & aName)
{
mName.Assign(aName);
return NS_OK;
}
/* long add (in long a, in long b); */

{
*_retval = a + b;
return NS_OK;
}
