Attachments:	compile eclipse with firefox - some include still seems not correct

Description Peter Leugner 2005-07-25 14:17:36 UTC

The ebuild for eclipse-sdk-3.1-r1 has a USE flag for firefox and mozilla. If you
set the mozilla USE flag and have firefox installed, eclipse is compiled against
the firefox libs. If you don't have mozilla installed, but firefox, no support
for  gecko internal bwoser is built at all. I don't want to install mozilla,
only to have gecko as a browser widget in eclipse, when I have firefox already
installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.USE="-mozilla firefox" emerge eclipse-sdk
2.start eclipse
3.Menu Window/Show View/Other/Basic/Internal Web Browser

Actual Results:  
No more handles (java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-mozilla-gtk-3138 in
java.library.path)
org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles (java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no
swt-mozilla-gtk-3138 in java.library.path)

Expected Results:  
Show the embedded firefox browser widget

Same problem here, except I don't get the effect:  
"If you set the mozilla USE flag and have firefox installed, eclipse is  
compiled against the firefox libs."  
  
I would be happy, if it would be like that - I found no solution for compiling  
it with Firefox.  
 
I'm runnin' on amd64 and have both firefoxes 32/64bit installed.

Created attachment 66349 [details, diff]
compile eclipse with firefox - some include still seems not correct

It compiles nicely, but when running Eclipse the internal browser doesn't work.
In the eclipse-error message again the wrong include-path is shown.

Sorry, I never used the Attachments before - didn't know how that looks.. so 
I'll continue here: 
 
In the patch I changed the path from /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox 
to /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox - in which on my system libgtkembedmoz.so is 
located. So it gets found and Eclipse compiles - Never the less in Eclipse the 
error message shows: 
 
No more handles [NS_InitEmbedding /usr/lib64/MozillaFirefox error -2147221164] 
org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles 
[NS_InitEmbedding /usr/lib64/MozillaFirefox error -2147221164]

# export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/ 
# eclipse-3.1 
 
does the trick - but it runs frickin' unstable... :( 
 
I hope, that some package-maintainers can use that information.

Not any more, for almost one year. Closing.
