Compiling lightspark for SalixOS

[caitlyn]

gnash is not working out well for me as a replacement for Flash in 64-bit SalixOS. I decided to try lightspark but have run into issues compiling it. Here is what has worked so far:

1. Installed ocaml from the repository.
2. Used the script at SlackBuilds.org to build an llvm package and installed it.
3. cmake failed on three dependencies. nspr is part of seamonkey-solibs so I installed that from the repository. gtkglext was also packaged in the repository. Both are installed now and those errors disappeared.

I am stuck on the final dependency: a mozilla-plugin module.

The developers have packages for Ubuntu/Debian so I assume that is the platform they develop on. What package that I don't have installed already is likely to fulfill this dependency. Anyone know?

Here is what I get when I run cmake:

Code: Select all

-- Loaded CMakeASM-NASMInformation - ASM-NASM support is still experimental, please report issues
-- checking for modules 'gtk+-2.0;gtkglext-1.0'
--   found gtk+-2.0, version 2.18.9
--   found gtkglext-1.0, version 1.2.0
-- checking for modules 'nspr;mozilla-plugin'
--   package 'mozilla-plugin' not found
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:259 (message):

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

The instructions I was following are at: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lights ... i/Building.

Any help/clues will be appreciated.

First idea: Try to install the seamonkey package, too.

EDIT: And try to create a link from /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/seamonkey-plugin.pc to /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/mozilla-plugin.pc

I did exactly as you suggested. I still get the same error from cmake.

It could be that it needs something in xulrunner: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.1/ ... xulrunner/

You can also try the package from GSB: ftp://ftp.slackware.org.uk/gsb/gsb64-2. ... 4-2gsb.txz

Still just a guess though.

Hmm, I'm quite sure the link should do the trick

I thought so too, but it didn't work. The link is there:

Code: Select all

root[pkgconfig]# ls -l moz*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2010-06-18 09:47 mozilla-plugin.pc -> usr/lib64/pkgconfig/seamonkey-plugin.pc

I'll try xulrunner from Slackbuilds.org next. gsb packages tend to have all sorts of interesting dependencies so I'd rather build the package from the script.

What happens if you change the plugin-dir/CMakeLists.txt file, so that it requires seamonkey-plugin instead of mozilla-plugin?

[Shador]

mozilla-plugin.pc -> usr/lib64/pkgconfig/seamonkey-plugin.pc

Huh? Does that work? I think you've got a broken link there. It would evaluate to: ./usr/lib64/pkgconfig/seamonkey-plugin.pc (. (dot) being relative to the dir containing mozilla-plugin.pc).

Good catch! However, gapan had it right. xulrunner created mozilla-plugin.pc when I installed it. There is no longer a link.

Sadly compilation still fails because it needs libpulse. I have more than a little trepidation about adding Pulse Audio.
