OK, following Wolfgang's email in opensuse-factory I changed my home:RedDwarf/gecko-mediaplayer package to BuildRequire pkgconfig(npapi-sdk). Not surprisingly the configure script fails to detect it... surprisingly it tries the compilation anyway, but it fails since it can not find the headers.

So, what's the proposed plan? Are distributions supposed to patch plugins as gecko-mediaplayer? It doesn't make a lot of sense to submit the patch upstream if each distribution is going to use a different name for the .pc file and put the headers in a different directory. Shouldn't http://code.google.com/p/npapi-sdk/ provide the .pc file and an installer so it's standardized?

Yes, upstream should ;-) I've also thought about reusing mozilla-plugin.pc which so it would be transparent for the configure scripts but as long as xulrunner still exists providing the same file they would conflict which also is not really nice. As I found no communication channel besides the issue tracker I just filed a request to have a pkgconfig template in the sources to get a strong argument for upstream maintainers to check for that. Thanks for reminding me about that. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-mozilla+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-mozilla+help@opensuse.org
