Bug 107579 – Can't we use mplayerplug-in with mozilla-firefox-bin?

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description MATSUI Tetsushi 2005-09-29 03:14:28 UTC]

I'm using mozilla-firefox-bin.
Today, emerge -up world suggests to install mozilla,
because updated mplayerplug-in requires mozilla or mozilla-firefox.

Can't we use mplayerplug-in with mozilla-firefox-bin?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:





Expected Results:  
I expect mplayerplug-in may be able to be used with mozilla-firefox-bin.
But I don't know the truth.
If I'm correct, mozilla is not required by mplayerplug-in since there has been
mozilla-firefox-bin already.

Take a look at bug #107580. After dealing with the issues mentioned there, you
just have to use the gecko-sdk flag on mplayerplug-in. This way you won't need
mozilla, just gecko-sdk.

[Comment 2 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2005-09-29 07:25:27 UTC]

I don't know if the binary version comes with the development libraries (I only
use PPC, no x86 here.) You're welcome to try adding it to the !gecko-sdk DEPEND
line and see if it works, but otherwise, using the gecko-sdk use flag should
also solve the problem.

Thank you for your comment.
I didn't notice about the gecko-sdk flag.

But setting gecko-sdk flag makes thing worse.
It requires BOTH mozilla AND mozilla-firefox!
What's happening?


I think the line 18:

 !gecko-sdk? || ( >=www-client/mozilla-1.6 www-client/mozilla-firefox)

must be:

 !gecko-sdk? (|| ( >=www-client/mozilla-1.6 www-client/mozilla-firefox))

according to ebuild(5) manpage and supposed right behaviour
(If not gecko-sdk then (mozilla or mozilla-firefox)).

[Comment 4 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2005-09-29 08:29:56 UTC]

Yes, that should already be fixed in CVS.

[Comment 5 MATSUI Tetsushi 2005-09-29 08:46:21 UTC]

Thank you.
I will use the gecko-sdk flag.

My first problem was that I wanna use mplayerplug-in with firefox-bin without
installing mozilla nor firefox from source. So the fixed ebuild and gecko-sdk
flag completely solve it.

I don't know about the development libraries either, and it's beyond my intention.

[Comment 6 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2005-09-29 08:48:55 UTC]

If you could try anyway with USE="-gecko-sdk" and adding mozilla-firefox-bin to
the !gecko-sdk dependancy, I would be interested to know if it works.

[Comment 7 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2005-09-29 20:41:58 UTC]

I wonder if we should not rather remove the gecko-sdk flag, and make it fall
back to that if 'mozilla' and 'firefox' is not in USE ?  This is what gnome
users (ie, using epiphany) will normally want, and they will not have mozilla or
firefox in USE ...

[Comment 8 MATSUI Tetsushi 2005-09-30 10:00:28 UTC]

(In reply to comment #6)

I tried with USE="-gecko-sdk" and adding mozilla-firefox-bin to the !gecko-sdk
dependancy.  Of course, I uninstalled older gecko-sdk beforehand.

The result:
...
configure: Determining mozilla/firefox packages to link against
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for mozilla-plugin... configure: WARNING: mozilla-plugin not found
checking for firefox-plugin... configure: WARNING: firefox-plugin not found
checking for seamonkey-plugin... configure: WARNING: seamonkey-plugin not found
configure: error: Unable to find mozilla or firefox development files


Now it's clear that I can't use mplayerplug-in without gecko-sdk.

[Comment 9 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2005-10-11 20:08:23 UTC]

Okay, so closing this bug, if you use -bin, you need to use gecko-sdk.
