## page was renamed from SpawnProcessHelper
Conkeror is able to invoke an external editor for editing web page text fields.  XULRunner does not have direct support for complex interactions with external programs, so to support such a feature, Conkeror needs a special utility called `conkeror-spawn-helper`.

'''Important Note:''' currently, `conkeror-spawn-helper` only works on unix-like operating systems.  We are actively clicking our heels wishing for a Windows-using hacker to add Windows support. In the meantime, it does work compiled with Cygwin. Run `gcc conkeror-spawn-helper.c` and patch `spawn-process.js` to include the .exe extension on the end of `spawn_process_helper_program`.  Any program you spawn with `spawn-process` or `spawn-and-wait-for-process` will also need the .exe extension in the name.

If you installed Conkeror via your operating system's package manager, `conkeror-spawn-helper` is likely either already installed or available as a separate package.  For example, on Debian and Ubuntu, this utility is available in the package `conkeror-spawn-process-helper`.

If you installed Conkeror manually, you need to run `make` in the Conkeror base directory.  To do this, you will need to have the normal C compilation toolchain (like gcc, etc) installed on your computer.  There is no need for a `make install` step because Conkeror will look in its own directory for the `conkeror-spawn-helper` executable.
