Bug#405900: swf-player: should be updated for iceape/iceweasel
swf-player is using the Netscape Plugin API, which does *not* require linking against any Mozilla libraries. It only requires the header files from one of the -dev packages. Therefore I believe the following patch: --- plugin/Makefile.am~ 2006-01-09 20:33:42.0 + +++ plugin/Makefile.am 2007-02-22 23:07:54.0 + @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ libswfdecmozilla_la_SOURCES = plugin.c libswfdecmozilla_la_CFLAGS = $(GLOBAL_CFLAGS) $(MOZILLA_CFLAGS) $(X_CFLAGS) \ -DBINDIR=\"$(bindir)/\" -libswfdecmozilla_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version $(X_LIBS) $(MOZILLA_LIBS) +libswfdecmozilla_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version $(X_LIBS) libswfdecmozilla_la_LIBADD = -lXt -- END -- plus autoreconf fixes this. With this change, I was able to load a swfdec plugin built against libxul-dev into Firefox 2.0.

In fact, the actual plugin file is installed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/, which is looked at by all of these packages. On IRC, Ari Pollak suggested that the problem is that the plugin is linked against xulrunner, causing library mismatches with the browser. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Bug#405900: swf-player: should be updated for iceape/iceweasel
tags 405900 +patch thanks Hi, I've made a patch for swf-player which fixes _this_ bug, but in practice Iceweasel will not pick this plugin up. I've also tried to copy the old .so-file into one of the directories where Iceweasel picks up it's plugins, but libswfdecmozilla.so does not show up in the list of plugins in Iceweasel (about:plugins). My package is available [1] if others want to test, but I'm not sure if I will NMU this package when the plugin doesn't work. - Werner [1] http://people.debian.org/~werner/debian/pool/unstable/s/swfdec0.3/ diff -u swfdec0.3-0.3.6/debian/changelog swfdec0.3-0.3.6/debian/changelog --- swfdec0.3-0.3.6/debian/changelog +++ swfdec0.3-0.3.6/debian/changelog @@ -1,3 +1,11 @@ +swfdec0.3 (0.3.6-2.2) unstable; urgency=high + + * Non-maintainer upload. + * Adding symlinks for plugin in the plugin directories for iceape, +iceweasel and the latest firefox-package.
