build fail log for net-www/mplayerplug-in-3.50

Ah, forgot to mention that this should either be fixed or made to depend on
=net-libs/xulrunner-1.8* or net-libs/xulrunner:1.8

This was already fixed by armin76 (thanks!).

I propose reopening of this bug.
I get the exact same errors, because net-www/mplayerplug-in-3.50 compiles with
-I/usr/include/xulrunner-1.9

I have following versions installed:
[I] net-libs/xulrunner (1.8.1.13(1.8)@10/04/08 1.9_beta5(1.9)@10/04/08):
[I] net-libs/xulrunner-bin (1.8.1.13@10/04/08):

This may be caused by net-libs/xulrunner-1.8.1.13 installing into
/usr/lib64/xulrunner/include instead of /usr/include/xulrunner-1.8 or similar,
which would make it a seperate bug.
I assume you can tell me how to proceed (whether this really should be filed as
a seperate bug, or instead be fixed in net-www/mplayerplug-in).

The problem was that mplayerplug-in was looking for www-client/mozilla which is
no longer in-tree using mozilla-plugin.pc. That file is now provided by
net-libs/xulrunner-1.9 (and has a different meaning) which breaks
mplayerplug-in with glee.

The attached patch (below) to configure.in fixes this problem by removing the
segment which tries to find www-client/mozilla

Patch to mplayerplug-in-3.50.ebuild to include the above patch

Single-liner patch to mplayerplug-in-3.50.ebuild to apply the above patch.

Same problem here with net-www/mplayerplug-in-3.45.

I have installed both xulrunner 1.8 and 1.9:

[I] net-libs/xulrunner
     Available versions:  
        (1.8)   1.8.1.11 1.8.1.13
        (1.9)   {M}(~)1.9_beta5
        {dbus debug elibc_FreeBSD gnome ipv6 java startup-notification xinerama
xprint}
     Installed versions:  1.8.1.13(1.8)(16:51:28 04/16/08)(gnome ipv6 java

                          1.9_beta5(1.9)(01:38:25 04/15/08)(dbus gnome ipv6
java -debug -elibc_FreeBSD -startup-notification)

Perhaps mplayerplug-in should use xulrunner 1.8 if it is installed?

I'll try the patch now.

The patch does not work for me, I still get:

Are you sure you've added the patch in ${FILESDIR} and applied the second patch
to the ebuild? Because I just double-checked, and it works for me.

Alternatively, could you paste the build.log ?

OK, the error occurs only for mplayerplug-in 3.45 (whereby the patch applies
successfull there).

I have tried also 3.50 now and it compiles fine.

But there was another problem with 3.50, it depends on firefox-2* if I have the
firefox USE-flag enabled. It should use the xulrunner USE-flag and if activated
depend only on xulrunner. (But there is already another bugreport exactly about
this.)

Why does 3.50 work and not 3.45? How exactly does the configure script determit
what it links against (mozilla, xulrunner or firefox)?

3.50 is marked ~x86 whereby 3.45 is stable. So either we should fix this
problem in 3.45 or perhaps make 3.50 stable?

Yeah, and there are plans to enable xulrunner by default in the profile instead
of firefox.

This is very strange, the configure scripts for both the versions are
completely identical so there should be no problem..

build.log for mplayerplug-in-3.45

This is the build.log for mplayerplug-in-3.45. Perhaps you can see the error
there somewhere...

Ah, I just saw, there is a eautoconf missing in 3.45.

I added it and then I get:

Without the eautoconf, the mplayerplug-in_xulrunner-1.9.patch doesn't make any
sense or am I wrong here?

Not just mplayerplug-in_xulrunner-1.9.patch, but also
mplayerplug-in-3.50-seamonkey.patch doesn't do anything without an eautoconf

So, yeah, an eautoconf is needed there.

But eautoconf doesn't work.

But I have fixed it now much easier:

Add this before econf:

    MOZPLUG_CFLAGS="$(xulrunner-config --cflags)" \
    MOZPLUG_LIBS="$(xulrunner-config --libs)" \

It works then, I have successfully compiled mplayerplug-in-3.45 now.

The reason why this works is because xulrunner-config gives out the data for
xulrunner 1.8.

Any particular reason this patch isn't in the tree?  This is one of the few
things that do not work with a xulrunner 1.9 install.

Trying to install the (currently masked) mozilla-firefox-3.0_rc1-r1 leads into
this problem: mplayerplug-in-3.45 cannot be kept, as it insists on FF2, and
mplayerplug-in-3.50 does not compile due to this bug :-(

A (temporary) solution is to upgrade to the ~arch mplayerplug-in-3.50 with
USE="-firefox -seamonkey"

OR

Remove mozilla-firefox-2.0*, install xulrunner-1.8* and then recompile
mplayerplug-in-3.45 (so it'll use xulrunner), and then install
mozilla-firefox-3.0* (with USE=xulrunner to take advantage of the unified
xul-1.9 system)

Also, um, you should really really avoid mixing stable and hard-masked :P

See also bug 204953, for which this one here is probably a duplicate.
Especially the patch from bug 204953 comment 8 looks a lot cleaner to me than
the one from comment 6 here.

If you look at the patch attached on that bug, you'll see that the
`xulrunner-plugin.pc` test which replaces the `mozilla-plugin.pc` test, is
taken from a line lower below the ones for `{firefox,seamonkey}-plugin.pc`. See
the the text file attached below which contains the relevant lines.

Commenting out the `mozilla-plugin.pc` lines is the best solution because the
test conflicts with xulrunner-1.9 and the test is useless anyway since mozilla
is not in the tree anymore.

Gecko tests from mplayerplug-in's configure.in

I'm trying to compile mplayerplug-in against firefox-3-rc1, so I've applied
this patch because firefox-3 depends on xulrunner-1.9, but when emerge is doing
the configure, it crashes because of this:
configure: Determining mozilla/firefox packages to build against
checking for MOZPLUG... no
configure: WARNING: firefox-plugin not found
checking for MOZPLUG... no
configure: WARNING: seamonkey-plugin not found
checking for MOZPLUG... no
configure: WARNING: xulrunner-plugin not found
checking for MOZPLUG... no
configure: WARNING: iceape-plugin not found
configure: error: Unable to find mozilla or firefox development files

what can I do?

Strange. mplayerplug-in should pull in xulrunner-1.8 which will satisfy
configure.in

Are you manually compiling it?

Also, I doubt this is the right place for troubleshooting; come onto
#gentoo-desktop and catch me if you need help.

I have tried gecko-mediaplayer instead of mplayerplug-in. It also doesn't
compile with newest xulrunner which is xulrunner-1.9-rc2 at the time. It says:

"configure: error: xpidl compiler not found"

I had to change some lines in libxul.pc to workaround the problem.

I attach the modifications I made in a patch.

libxul.pc modification to resolve "xpidl compiler not found" error

Fixed, i'll ask for 3.50 to be stable.

Was there a fix to this problem? I am getting the same errors for MOXPLUG...
