I can see here http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/1870803/ that the plugin for FF17 Linux 64bit is ready for a couple of days; Are there any instructions availablle on how to build the plugin or is it available somewhere pre-built ? I feel kinda lucky as I am working on Ubuntu 64 bit, but it is an ambiguous feeling as I dont know how to get this running ...

IIRC:

1. Checkout trunk/plugins
2. Checkout plugin-sdks/gecko-sdks/gecko-17.0.0
3. Apply the patch to trunk/plugins
4. cd plugins/xpcom && make BROWSER=FF170

That should update the XPI found in plugins/xpcom/prebuilt

Anyone willing to post this dev build? I just had my FF auto-update :(

Given that only the Linux x64 patch is ready, therefore assuming you're on Linux x64, can't you just "apt-get install firefox=16*" or equivalent?

[Michael Joyner]

Heh... didn't think about that... its a Monday after a long weekend. :)

[Daniel Kurth]

It would have to be packaged first. I myself am using Ubuntu 12.04 etc and unfortunately have never seen it available that way (or at least in the default packages).

http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/firefox ?

[Daniel Kurth]

Yep, that's the package I see available for Firefox, but I don't think it includes the google plugin. I'd be happy to be wrong on that score, but to date I've used packages (from Debian..Ubuntu) for everything except the Firefox google plugin (for which I've instead relied on the gracious efforts of people such as as yourself).

[Michael Joyner]

I downgraded via dpkg to FF16 then marked it as stay that way in Synaptic. Luckily, the FF16 deb was still in my cache folder.

[Daniel Kurth]

Ah...thanks, I was so focused on upgrade that I missed the point that Thomas was suggesting downgrade. Downgrade it is. In my case used following to get back the earlier version of FF for now: 

dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/firefox_16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb

I tried to build - would be nice to master that because it will keep on happening every 6 weeks; Ubuntu updates FF even without asking and even without restarting FF;

I fiddled a bit with the Makefile to include ff170 and tried to find my way in the huge directory structure.

Finally it started to compile but no luck so far; 

Missing IOOPHM.h :

That may be, but you can still exert control. I don't use Ubuntu, but
since it's based on Debian, you can use apt pinning:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto

P.S. There's probably a FF config setting you can apply to disable
auto-update, but working knowledge of pinning will serve you in good
stead for other packages.

That file comes with the patch from http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/1870803/

[Brian Slesinsky]

That's due to a bug in the Makefile: it creates the IOOPHM.h file but not the directory it's in. (The build procedure for plugins is full of this sort of thing.)

But if you sync to head, you should be able to get away with just building the xpi file from the preexisting binaries, because the binary is checked in.

[Samyem Tuladhar]

Are the windows binaries available yet for FX17? 

[wbabachan]

I have built the plugin under Fedora 17 x86 (FC17_x86) and it works fine. You can download and use it from here:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bz789tz1BWLqcVNrOERSOWdLNlU

I hope it will work at least in all Linux x86 OS.

Thank you. That works for me with openSUSE 12.2 32-bit and Firefox 17.0.2.

OS X 10.8 works fine ...

Works like a charm on linux 64-bit. Thank you!

How about Windows 7? When I try to install this, I get "This add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt."

wbabachan's build also fails, but it tells me the plugin only works with Firefox 3 thru 15.

Did you really download the XPI? and not the page from the SVN repo browser? (the one linked by Ivan).

See instructions from skybrian in the issue, and note that "denarced" in the issue comments tried to "install the web page", not the XPI.

Sorry, I should have specified that this is Win7 64-bit

I downloaded the XPI:  In Chrome, from http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt, right click on gwt-dev-plugin.xpi, "Save link as..." to my desktop. Drag XPI onto Firefox 17: "This add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt."

This is **not** the XPI, it's a web page!

As Brian explained in the issue tracker: follow that link, then download the target of the "view raw file" link.

[Thad]

Doh! (sheepish thanks)
