Moonlight is an open source implementation of Microsoft Silverlight for Unix systems. http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight I think it should be a good idea to provide an ebuild that installs moonlight firefox plugin and can be able to trigger audio/video codecs trought this ebuild USE flags. Reproducible: Always
@Marcello: Please don't CC the reporter - it's superfluous.
I made an ebuild that works from source, I still need to test it on a few different situations, ie FF2 or FF3, but i'll attach my attempt, from what i can tell it works great, but i haven't tested it enough to confirm that. Feel free to improve my ebuild, need some help with the mozextension.eclass, see attached. -Mike

Yea, i see the issue, i need to add a conditional for FF2. I'll update the ebuild.
Wouldn't it be smarter to rename the "plugin" useflag to "nsplugin"? That's an already defined useflag to build ns-compatible browser plugins - besides that "plugin" is a masked keyword...

Created attachment 162782 [details] moonlight files list list of moonlight files on my system
I finally successful merge moonlight (I think that was the xulrunner dep, that wasn't included in previous ebuild) but it seems that my firefox doesn't see the relative plugin neither under extensions, neither under about:plugins , in the previous attachment there is the list of the files of the moonlight package on my system.
I forgot to say that I say that mine firefox doesn't seem to "see" that plugin also because I opened a site after installing the extension from http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/ and opens a silverlight site (but doesn't open the videos) with your ebuild that site asks to install silverlight to view it so it doesn't find the sl features like if moonlight wasn't there.
okay i will do some heavy testing on FF2 using default USE. I will update accordingly. -Mike
updated a few things on the ebuild. @Marcello, can you confirm that you copied the plug-in to your $HOME/.mozilla/extensions ?

I thought that I didn't have to install the extension manually since with other ebuilds, like enigmail, the ebuild install the extensions to a particular dir so the extension is installed system wide. Anyway like I told you also doing : cp /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/novell-moonlight.xpi /home/magowiz/.mozilla/extensions/ didn't solve this issue, Anyway I saw that you made a new ebuild, I'll try also the last and I'll let you know about it.
neither soft-linking the xpi file to .mozilla/extensions/ solve this issue...
I believe that the 'mono' use flag should use --with-mono instead of --with-mono-runtime (./configure --help). Also, the silverlight 2.0 feature that the 'mono' flag enables requires a version of mono greater than 1.9.1 [http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight#Alpha_support_for_Silverlight_2.0: (version 1.9.1 is not enough)] so unless there is a svn mono ebuild, silverlight 2.0 won't work.

I believe that yuo can install the plugin by entering file:///usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/novell-moonlight.xpi into the address bar. Firefox will then prompt you to install the plugin.

Need Crash details. @gfl3162, from install DOC: "--with-mono-runtime=yes,no By default Moonlight will build with 2.0 profile of Silverlight and will try to link with Mono to provide the required managed support. Use this flag to disable support for Mono from your plugin build." From what i read, you are correct about Silverlight 2.0 but ebuilds are suppose to be portable for versions, so it will probably be correct in later versions. -Mike

Also, I don't think that moonlight 0.7 should be used for silverlight 2.0 because even as of now, silverlight 2.0 support is only at its alpha stages. If moonlight is compiled without the svn version of mono, I get this at the end of ./configure: Moonlight configuration: Support for 1.0: yes Support for 2.0: no (reason: Mono newer than 1.9 not installed) Support for ffmpeg: yes Support for running the test harness: yes Using cairo: system Support for Firefox: yes With Silverlight 1.0 bugs: yes Support for plugin installer: yes Support for Gecko 1.8 (Firefox 2): no Support for Gecko 1.9 (Firefox 3): yes During the configure, it uses pkg-config to look for smcs.pc, which does not exist in mono 1.9.1 (it only exists in svn) and if it can't find the file, it turns off the silverlight 2.0 feature.

Yea i noticed that, that's why i have mono with USE moonlight because it installs: /usr/lib/mono/2.1/smcs.exe.mdb /usr/lib/mono/2.1/smcs.exe but from testing, along with trying to patch the configure ( to find those files) it still shows, Mono newer than 1.9 not installed. For now I changed to USE to just mono, i am going to test out what happens with SVN mono. @Marcello, Having a super hard time reproducing your issues, but i am getting similar one's on my install, so i am still getting to the root, i updated a few things on the ebuild that might be causing some runtime errors, rebuild an let me know.

Did you tried with the link I gave you ? If it changes you could try to go to http://www.pechino2008.rai.it and then click on "Le dirette" (on the left menu) , I don't know other silverlight enabled sites so I don't know if it is a problem relative to moonlight in general or it's only that site. The only thing I can tell you is that , as I said before, with the xpi from moonlight official site that site doesn't make my firefox crash.
I tried also with a test site listed here http://go-mono.com/moonlight/MoonlightStatus.aspx , more precisely this one : http://bubblemark.com/wpfe.htm (bubble mark) that is reported to work fine and my firefox crashed again with the same error
I noticed that moonlight-0.8 was released yesterday, I renamed your ebuild to moonlight-0.8.ebuild , it merges fine but I still get the same error on opening pages.

Created attachment 163226 [details] Updated Version with some fixes Attaching version 0.8 with a few changes. I have been testing with x86 on FF2, with all stable packages, except this one of course. I don't seem to get the same errors, but it does crash about 45% of time, i managed to narrow it down to an issue with nsl.PrefBrach.getComplexValue function, which is the FF ContentHandler. I am testing the Various MOONLIGHT runtime-parameters, to see if i can get to the root of this.

I don't have all stable packages since I have mono-1.9.1 and other stuff that are testing. I'm still trying to find where that XML_ParserCreateNS came from . I really don't know what should I do or what is wrong with my installation, also googling doesn't help a lot since I cannot find any similar issue with moonlight. Should I report the bug upstream ?

I quote from moonlight mailing list : "Using --enable-user-plugin for a local build is wrong. We should probably rename this option to --enable-firefox-plugin-installer or something. Doing both --enable-user-plugin and make install will have unexpected results." I don't know if it is the cause of my problem , anyway it could be a hint to improve your ebuild.
Marcello, from INSTALL DOC: To build a mozilla plugin installer (XPI) configure with --enable-user-plugin and build as above. This modifies the libraries to open the libraries it needs from ~/.mozilla/plugins and builds an unsigned .xpi file which you may use to install the plugin in your browser. testing results when i added --shared to configure, will update accordingly.
I tried also enabling system wide expat use flag that wasn't enabled, but doing emerge -uDN world re-emerge only neon library and nothing changes on libmoon.so dynamic linking
Created attachment 163308 [details] updated deps,xulrunner_libs, Added a few deps, which came up while investigating this annoying crash, but i managed to get somewhere though. I think i am passing the right configure items that it should build correctly now. On FF2 setup it doesn't seem to link libexpat.so.1 inside libmoon.so in the XPI On FF3 setup it links libexpat.so.1 inside libmoon.so in the XPI on my unstable setup: ldd XPI/plugins/moonlight/libmoon.so | grep expat libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0xb77d9000) on my stable setup: nothing. Also it looks like the XPI/plugins/moonlight/libmoonplugin-ff3bridge.so can't find xulrunner1.9 even with XULRUNNER_LIBS passed to conf libxul.so => not found but on XPI/plugins/moonlight/libmoonplugin-ff2-bridge.so it finds xulrunner1.8 just fine. Thats where i am at this point, -Mike
(In reply to comment #51) > [...] I can confirm it on my setup (ff2) : /usr/lib/libmoon.so : no link to expat /usr/lib/moon/plugin/libmoonplugin-ff2bridge.so : linked to xulrunner ( mine is 1.8.1.16 ) result : same annoying crash also with your last ebuild . but I think you expected this since you are still working to this issue. I chatted in the #moonlight channel and they told me that moonlight doesn't check explicitly for expat and doesn't link explicitly to expat. They told me anyway that (perhaps in the next release) they should fix this (I hope). I think it could be better to have a dialogue with moonlight developers to better discover which is the problem and how to fix this.
latest ebuild is working for me on x86 with ff3 and xulrunner-1.9.0.1. I used bubblemark.com as test site @Marcello: Yes it's clear that the issues with FF2 build is that it doesn't explicity check or do anything with expat, it just assumes everything is all good. But i am able to get it to work on 2 different FF3 installations, i am going to try a clean chroot to make sure i haven't missed any deps. I have not been able to get it to work on FF2. -Mike
Created attachment 163692 [details, diff] Expat linking fix I had the XML_ParserCreateNS symbol problem with the latest ebuild. Applying this patch should hopefully fix the expat linking issue. I figure it should explicitly check for the expat header/library since it uses expat functions in src/xaml.cpp. With this patch, bubblemark.com works on FF3 + amd64.
Created attachment 163696 [details] new ebuild with expat linking patch I modified last ebuild to include the expat linking patch
With the patch provided by Daniel I can confirm that here (ff2 x86) it works like a charm. I'll test it with other pages and let you know if I have problems.
working great on x86 with FF2 and FF3 for me, even builds fine under i486 and i686 with gcc-4.1.2, 4.2.4 and 4.31. Using bubblemark.com as test site. The only thing i am not sure about is the mozdevelop USE flag on Firefox, i am not too familar with NSPR libs, so it clould definitely not be needed. Now that it's working, i am going to work on getting the tests to work, and try to trim down some of the excess code, that i think is in the ebuild. -Mike

also last one works here. I didn't enabled test use flag anyway.
I was able to install moonlight using the 0.8 ebuild. I'm able to run Silverlight apps from several of the sites listed in the project's TestSites (http://go-mono.com/moonlight/MoonlightStatus.aspx), including bubblemark.com. Other sites that are listed as working reliably crash my browser instead, for example the Glyph Map here: http://www.wynapse.com/Silverlight/Silverlight_GlyphMap_Utility.aspx Should I report this kind of bug here or upstream? The only message FF3 prints when it crashes is "windowless mode" even with the "debug" use flag set in moonlight. What else can I do to produce more useful output? I'm running FF 3.0.1 on an otherwise stable system.
@Nick, Run FF3 via command line with a clean profile. Also the Error Console can be found in the tools menu. If you are reporting a crash, need exact crash text, 'emerge --info', and steps to reproduce. Also please note the Silverlight 2.0_alpha support is not working, thus those websites will not work. Without this info, cannot determine where the source of the bug is. -Mike
I'm running FF3 in a new user account with a clean profile and plugins other than moonlight. I'm going to this site: http://www.wynapse.com/Silverlight/Silverlight_GlyphMap_Utility.aspx The Moonlight 1.0 Test Sites page (http://go-mono.com/moonlight/MoonlightStatus.aspx) lists that site as working reliably. In my experience, the only steps needed to reproduce this crash is to simply load the site. Firefox crashes as soon as the site loads. The only message on the command line is: windowless mode windowless mode windowless mode Segmentation fault It doesn't list anything in the Error Console. If I run Firefox in gdb, I only get a little more information before it segfaults: [New Thread 0xaee5eb90 (LWP 3351)] [Thread 0xb0027b90 (LWP 3344) exited] (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) windowless mode (no debugging symbols found) windowless mode windowless mode (firefox:3328): Moonlight-WARNING **: EventHandle called before SetWindow, discarding event.

If moonlight needs mono svn, wouldn't it be a good idea to create a 'mono-9999' ebuild?
Moonlight needs mono-2.0 for Sliverlight-2.0_alpha, which is not near stable. There is a mono-2.0_alpha tarball out from dev's, but Sliverlight-2.0a is still shotty at best, and mono-2.0 is still in development. Just made the ebuild ready for that time period. -Mike

This is an ebuild for a NSBROWSER plugin. -Mike
Would you detail please, Mike? I tried the ebuild: 1. It causes some blocking situations - So I cannot try it. 2. It reports lots of dependencies, like gnome-desktop. May be they are really needed but also may be not. What is wrong in reporting these here? Did I misunderstand anything? Thank you and I apologize if I did something wrong.

What is wrong in reporting these here? This is a request bug for this package to get added to the tree, and your issues don't directly effect the building of this package. You did nothing wrong, just trying to keep this bug somewhat clean. -Mike
Working fine for me with x86,FF-3.0.3,xul-1.9.0.3,libtool-2.2.6a. Need to rebuild though with new versions. -Mike
Moonlight now uses --with-managed=yes|no|desktop|browser instead of --with-mono.

Does this really require www-client/mozilla-firefox? Shouldn't net-libs/xulrunner be enough? The indention for DEPEND is misleading. S="${WORKDIR}/moon-1.0b1" << You should use MY_PN, MY_PV, MY_P instead. (MY_PN=moon, MY_PV=${PV/_beta/b/}, MY_P=${MY_PN}-${MY_PV} Same for SRC_URI: SRC_URI="ftp://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/${MY_PN}/${MY_P}.tar.bz2" if use ffmpeg ; then myconf="${myconf} --with-ffmpeg=yes" fi Should be: $(use_with ffmpeg), I think. You use: doexe novell-moonlight.xpi || die "plugin install failed" but: einfo "file:///usr/$(get_libdir)/${PLUGINS_DIR}/novell-${PN}.xpi"
Created attachment 179113 [details] Ebuild with fixes as described The attached ebuild is untested. (I found the precompiled one at http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/.) What I wonder about is the enormous amount of dependencies...
Is the dev-util/mono-tools dependency really required? I've just built moonlight without it and it seems to work without any problem. And removing it saved me from building almost whole GNOME.
It's now in the tree. The libraries are installed to the harddrive now and if you restart firefox after having installed it, it should Just Work. You can go here and test it: http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/MoonlightStatus.aspx
Forgot to reassign.
There's 2.2 stable out there. Please reopen this and update the ebuild..

Can a multilib option be added to this ebuild? I'm running 32-bit Opera on amd64 and would like to use moonlight.
