Compiling lightspark for SalixOS

[thenktor]

Is xulrunner really needed then? Or does a fixed link work?

[caitlyn]

It appears that xulrunner is really needed. So is pulseaudio, which is compiling now. I have my doubts about whether this is worth it or not.

[thenktor]

It ptobably will suck at the end
But it's worth a try.

[caitlyn]

OK, I installed pulseaudio and sound still works. cmake failed again, this time on dependencies for ftgl and glew. I installed ftgl from the repository but found that glew was already installed. The problem was that the SalixOS glew package doesn't have a /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/glew.pc (Is that an error in the package?) Anyway, I created one and cmake ran correctly. So far, so good.

make failed.

It turns out DataTypes.h lives under /usr/include/llvm/Support/ rather than /usr/include/llvm/System/ I made a link and the compilation then was able to proceed to 30% before returning another error:

I checked and /usr/include/llvm/PassManager.h is there. So... I'm stuck again. Grrr...

[caitlyn]

I tried again with the last release code (version 0.4.1) instead of the latest code from the git repository. The results were exactly the same. Unless someone has a suggestion about what the llvm errors mean and how I can correct them I'm pretty well stuck when it comes to compiling this.

I could try the Ubuntu package with alien as a last resort.

[Shador]

The error is there because though the right function ('llvm::FunctionPassManager::FunctionPassManager') exists it's not accepting 'llvm::Module*&' as argument. The possible arguments are 'llvm::ModuleProvider*' or 'const llvm::FunctionPassManager&'.
But I don't know how to fix it. Maybe you should have a chat with the devs, might be something you did wrong or even a bug/incompatibility in their code.

Lightspark 0.4.2 released

Ver­sion 0.4.2 of Lightspark, the mod­ern, effi­cient, open source Flash player is now offi­cially released, with a cou­ple of last moment fixes and improvements.

The main fea­tures of this new release are:

* Use font­con­fig to select fonts
* Greater com­pat­i­bil­ity with youtube video
* Sound syn­chro­niza­tion
* Chrome/Chromium sup­port
* Firefox’s OOPP support

If you use a ver­sion of fire­fox newer than 3.6.4 you can ensure a crash free expe­ri­ence by enabling OOPP mode for lightspark

Somebody already tried?

[caitlyn]

Thanks for the heads up. I may give it a try again. I had given up on previous versions.

caitlyn, fyi (as already written in the "64 bits flash" thread)

Lightspark seems not or only rarely to work in Firefox 3.6.4 and Midori 0.2.6. Dunno about Chrome (new feature of lightspark 0.4.2).
