Progress on Gecko 1.9 API?

Postby jong357 » 27 Jun 2008 02:59

I'm sorry I haven't done the most basic of my homework and checked out of SVN yet but thought I'd ask anyway... What's the status of your plugin in SVN? Does it build with xulrunner-1.9? Or any new gecko for that matter?

I know 0.8.6h craps out because of missing $gecko-config files..... Thanks in advance for a short yes or no from someone in the know....

Nevermind. I hate it when I'm lazy. Still don't know about SVN but 0.8.6h still checks for all the old crap as expected by configure crapping out over "no mozilla". Lot's of firefox-config, firefox-plugin.pc and firefox-xpcom.h stuff.... Gecko 1.8

O.8.6h still builds if you prepend

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/xulrunner-1.9/unstable"

to ./configure an then add:

--with-mozilla-sdk-path=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9/sdk

to ./configure.

Haven't tried the plugin yet but I'm sure it works... Sorry to bother anyone. I'll stick with stable since provisions are already in place....

since at least vlc 0.8.6g xulrunner-1.9 work with the rpm.livna.org package for Fedora 9.
the needed patch was merged in vlc-0.9.0 master git repo. But it probably needs to be tweaked (at least for WIN32 platform)

Thanks kwizart... I've noticed other packages, still in odd numbered development, like totem and librsvg have already migrated to 1.9.... I'm hoping that the next stable release of vlc will automatically pickup on xulrunner so there is no need for extra arguments.... Here's hoping anyway. If not, I hope 0.9 isn't too far away... :wink:

vlc-0.9.0-test1 works without patches on *nix (for now)...
