Any way you slice it, I cannot make this work. I tried
make install-plugin
and started with an empty LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and then again with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$prefix/lib/gnash. The complaints about missing
symbols disappear like this, but nevertheless the resulting Fx
cannot play any flash movies, eg from Youtube.
This is with a 3.6.x line Firefox built from source. I am trying
to investigate the extent to which using Gnash rather than Flashplayer
in Firefox makes it easier to debug Flash-related problems in Fx,
but so far I am failing to get to first base.
My Fx is running on a vnc server, not on a real X display. Would
that make any difference?
"make install-plugin" installs a single file, libgnashplugin.so,
which is only 339k, and a significant part of that is Dwarf3 debug syms.
So it can't have much functionality compared to the rest of gnash,
considering that (eg) libgnashcore-0.8.7.so is nearly 92MB in size.
Does libgnashplugin.so dlopen/dlsym the rest of the shared objects
from their location in $prefix/lib/gnash ?
