No. I can not launch exe yet.

Is there any tutorial for it?[/quote]

1.) Can You give me Your k-meleon.exe and the kplugins.dlls, please?
You know more than me. I cannot build these parts.

2.) There are [url=http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=338845]old build instructions to build Firefox with free tools[/url].
From there I know to build the GRE with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.

2a) I use the [url=http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/MozillaBuildSetup-1.3.exe]Mozilla-Build[/url] environament from [url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Windows_Build_Prerequisites]Windows_Build_Prerequisites[/url]
(link from build Prerequisitives Page. Some tools have a recommended location.)
It contain the up to date tools to make any Mozilla GRE.

2b.) [url=ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/1.1.18]And the Source naturally.[/url]

2.c) Building any current GRE with free Tools definitely needs
[url=https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Windows_SDK_versions#Windows_Server_2003_R2_Platform_SDK]Microsoft Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2[/url]  Because it is the only that has free mfc, atl, crt... includes.

Since You have VS 2005 You can use any other SDK.

3.) I needed an altered comsupp.lib, the normal system calls brake the build.
The one I will include in a subfolder is from Mozilla.zine thread, link above. 
The zip includes the sources and the lib. All other mentioned later go there too.

4.) I used a .mozconfig like [url=http://resources.kairo.at/mozilla/build/make-win-tinderbox-vc8express.html]described by Robert Kaiser[/url]. I will include my .mozconfig.
I also patched like he described. I will include the patched atlbase.h.

5.) I used a 1.bat that starts the build in writes the results and errors to a log. So that I could search google for the solutions, because I am no developer or coder.

6.) A finished SeaMonkey build with  Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition is at http://two.xthost.info/kmupdate/bin.7z It includes the described files. Also three manifest files that are copied into ./dist/bin - when the compilation stops at half way with error: cannot find *80.dll.

7.) To do. Place the files where they must go. 
Setup instructions are at Mozilla build instructions.

Next You need to partially build a Tbird or Firefox 1.8 non static.
You need its chrome.dll and chrome.xpt to run K-Meleon's chrome components.

Next replace the files of K-Meleon GRE with files from new GRE and K-meleon.exe etc. with Yours.

And You have to test if it really helps to use the GRE build with Visual C++ 2005.

I wish You success, greetings to CN(?) from DE.

p.s. added forgotten Seamonkey manifest and the two mentioned chrome files from a Tbird build.[/quote]
