Where is mozilla-firefox-devel?

[MBantz]

Hi all,

just refreshing mplayerplugin (because the OSD level is set to debug) but it needs mozilla-firefox-devel. Can't find it anywhere - even looked in the firefox spec and no devel files there.

At the mplayerplugin homepage they recommend to use either mozilla-devel or gecko-sdk (of which we have neither) - what to do?

Cheers

What's in the current spec file?  Who built it the first time?  If you have package-utils installed you should be able to right click on the spec file and install dependencies.

There is no mozilla-firefox-devel package anymore because Firefox is now built with xulrunner however trying to rebuild the existing mplayerplugin which hasn't been updated from the author in quite some time will not build against the current xulrunner-devel package. The easiest work around is to simply edit /etc/ mplayerplug-in.conf and change

osdlevel=3 to osdlevel=0

One can also copy and paste the following line in a konsole su'd to root

Code: [Select]

perl -pi -e "s|osdlevel=3|osdlevel=0|" /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf
I was going to try to rebuild against seamonkey-devel but need to fix the seamonkey devel package first.

Thanks Tex, that explains it.  Strange that it still works so fine with firefox though. Well, only hoped to change the OSD level to 0 because of the many posts on the subject.

I'll then leave it as it is for now,

@Joble, the original spec has mozilla-firefox-devel as a buildrequires, and I only hoped to hit install dep's and build all, but this didn't cut it :-) Now you mention pkgutils, do you know if it is to be altered to work with Dolphin in KDE4?

cheers,

MBantz:  No idea.  Sounds like a project don't it.

[MBantz]

Yes, I fiddled a little with the .desktop files - copied them to Dolphin's servicemenu (at least I think is is) at /usr/share/kde4/i forgot thispart/ServiceMenu but it didn't work,

if someone can point me to dolphins way of providing a servicemenu I'll rebuild pkgutils. The mime types are picked up fine, as the .rpm and src.rpm files have the rpm icon,

cheers

Just a follow up on the mplayerplugin , I updated seamonkey and fixed the seamonkey devel package so I could install it then was able to rebuild the mplayerplugin by changing the devel requirements in the spec file.

[MBantz]

Wonderful Tex :-) Did you set the OSD level to 0 at the same time?

In the meantime I have read up on how to manage mimetypes in kde4, and will soon have an updated pkgutils for kde4 ready :-)

Yes.

Kool beans on kde4.

[MBantz]

Pkgutils with kde4 package sent to contribs :-) (anyone good at drawing icons please contact me )

Something good came out of this thread after all, twofold even
