XULRunner 22.0

[Zendrael]

Hi!

I would like the recent version of the XULrunner too!

The actual maintaner of the package is Arslan S. - I will ask for him to update it.

[Zendrael]

Hello!

Last time that Arslan S. was active in the forum was May 14, 2013, 11:06:42 PM. One week has passed and no answer from him (via PM).

Jason W, would you mind to update this extension? Or could you help me to update it? Then I will be glad to be the official maintaner.

Thanks!

Hello!

Mr. Arslan S. is in Army service for his country, so no news from him...

I got nspr.tcz working (as it is a dependency of xulrunner) and will update the extension for Core 5.0 as soon as i get it compiled. Probably the XULrunner 23.0.1 or 24.

Will post back here.

Hi Zendrael,

Feel free to update xulrunner, as my TC time is totally taken up with my involvement in dCore I am not able to help with it.
Thanks!

Hi

If you only intend building it as you want a mozilla/firefox web browser, can I suggest you try
firefox-get first ......as it has just landed in repo

edit
latest version number to input is
24.0

Hi gordonselfish!

I am just working in the extensions part of the day, will post back soon!

Thank you for your suggestion!

The XULrunner is used as a stand-alone runtime for other applications too, and is part of one new extension that I'm working on to create desktop applications from web applications. Did it years ago (sorta 2008) with debian... Now I'm ready to update it and port to Core.

In my firefox TCE news post an user wanted flash from Adobe.

I just tried to run flash plugin and it aborts now wanting to find missing XPCOM
google shows XPCOM is a part of xulrunner
so it looks like a worthy project of yours to update this package.

OFFTOPIC for some users but not flash users of firefox-get
When xulrunner arrives users will need to adjust my dependencies or ask for a new script.

I'm just having a problem now, with gstreamer: I'm on Core 5 and when compiling XULrunner, it asks for gstreamer-plugins-app gstreamer-plugins-base-dev and gstreamer-dev, but they are installed and loaded. In fact, all gstreamer are installed and loaded... Did you had this problem compiling Firefox?

[Juanito]

What error message are you getting - perhaps xulrunner is looking for gstreamer-0.1?

What does config.log say?

[Zendrael]

Juanito, it says:

Code: [Select]

...
checking for gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10.25
        gstreamer-app-0.10
        gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10... configure: error: gstreamer and gstreamer-plugins-base development packages are needed to build gstreamer backend...
BUT, I have all the gstreamer packages from Core 5 loaded. The dev ones and the non-dev ones.

[Juanito]

You have gstreamer-1.0 loaded, it is looking for gstreamer-0.1

[Zendrael]

Hi!

But it s checking for a >= (greater or equal) version... 1.0 is greater than 0.1... So, I will have to downgrade the gstreamer just to compile it?

[Juanito]

Maybe - it would be worth checking if a newer or coming version of xulrunner depends on gstreamer-1.0 (and gtk3)

[Zendrael]

Didn't found anything "official" about it... Well, I will give a try to the downgrade...

Should I download ALL the gstreamer extensions from Core 4.x?

Thanks!
