PPAPI plugins - how to build example plugins?

[sarath]

Hi,

I am trying to build ppapi plugin examples for Linux chromium, like below, but fails with  "ninja: error: unknown target 'ppapi_example_paint_manager'. "
$ninja -C out/Default ppapi_example_paint_manager

What is the right way to build these example plugins and run in Linux chromium?

I see how to run a plugin in https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/pepper-plugin-implementation
chrome --register-pepper-plugins="/local/src/out/Debug/lib/libppapi_example_paint_manager.so;application/x-ppapi-example-2d" file:///local/src/ppapi/examples/2d/2d.html

Does it work? any updated instructions?

Thank you
Sarath

The target name is paint_manager. I have no idea if the instruction
for running it works or not.

Please be aware that PPAPI is going to go away eventually.

Yes, target names work with out prefix 'ppapi_example'. Running the plugin also works with: chrome --register-pepper-plugins="/local/src/out/Debug/lib/libppapi_example_paint_manager.so;application/x-ppapi-example-2d" file:///local/src/ppapi/examples/2d/2d.html

I was trying to build & run plugins on Android. First able to build Android chromium with flag "enable_plugins=true" and some hacking without enabling 'enable_extensions=true'. But, it seems impossible to build plugins without having enable_extensions flag.
Is there any ways to use plugins on Android?

I see about PPAPI support removal and servicification of PDF (https://crbug.com/702993) for eg. What would be the effect on Android chrome after pdf servicification? Would it be possible to open the pdf file on a new tab by using the service, just like in desktop chrome?

Thanks a lot.

Plugins have never been supported on Android. As such, PDF servicification has no effect on Android.
