On my system equery files mozilla-firefox lists a huge include library including for instance /usr/lib64/mozilla-firefox/include/plugin/ nsIPluginInstance.h which contains comments: * DO NOT EDIT. THIS FILE IS GENERATED FROM nsIPluginInstance.idl and * The nsIPluginInstance interface is the minimum interface plugin developers * need to support in order to implement a plugin instance. The plugin manager equery files firefox-bin lists no include libraries , .h files or .idl files So, I would guess that gecko-mediaplayer probably needs the include library to build and, no, firefox-bin does not supply it.
