Gecko-media player for openSuse

[mal...@interele.demon.co.uk]

openSuse has mplayer and gnome-mplayer in the Pacman repository but it
seems to
be missing gecko-mediaplayer. I have built it myself from the source
but it's a bit of
a pain as you have to install a lot of stuff that a vanilla openSuse
install leaves out.

Has someone got an openSuse package somewhere? Alternatively can you
point
me at a howto make packages and I'll have a go at making one for
openSuse

TGIF

I don't know if opensuse provides mock, but it is quite easy to build on
fedora using mock.

I just spent the better part of an hour trying to compile this thing.

I'd love to find an openSUSE rpm.

Part of the problem with compiling is that openSUSE needs a /usr/
lib[64]/mozilla directory and they don't seem to find it necessary.

I realize that all gecko apps rely on xulrunner now, but in the case
of Debuntu (and Fedora if I'm not mistaken), they still include the
mozilla directory for the sake of (plugin) consistancy.

I eventually cheated and stuck the plugins from my
machine at work that has fedora on a memory stick
and then put all of the gecko stuff in the Suse browser
plugin directory on my machine at home  and it seems
fine - so I guess you could just grab the rpm from livna  and
use that - I can't remember what the options are to
redirect where rpm sticks the files ( --relocate ?? )
( or I could just email you the files  for you to bung
on your machine )

best wishes

What does ./configure tell you... and I would check packman. I know they
have packages for gnome-mplayer.

Thanks.

I hadn't gotten around to it yet, but I also run Fedora (and Ubuntu and
Debian and Mandriva and OpenSolaris and Windows and....) in VirtualBox,
so I'll just copy the files from there myself.

Whenever I want to extract files from a RPM or DEB package I generally
do it in file roller and then manually copy the files to their proper
locations.

I often install themes from one distro to another this way.

But I digress...

Do you want to see the whole output?

I use the Packman repo and it's not there. :(

Perhaps you should request it... does opensuse have a tool like mock?
