My view on Flash has not changed, and I won't be using this either. Just though this might be good to have

I only tested on Opera 9.64.

Yes, the modern day devil Youtube works. Warning, it requires exceptions, and thus might not run without the to-be-released fix.

Hi Curaga,

Gnash in 3.x is linked to libboost_thread.so.1.41.0. However, libboost now only has libboost_thread.so.1.41.0 and libboost_thread.so. Hence the link is broken. May you recomile gnash against libboost_thread.so?

Best regards,

Xianwen

The linking happens to the soname of the lib, which in good-behaved apps is a symlink (ie. libz.so.1 instead of libz.so.1.2.3). In these boost libs the soname forces to link against the actual lib. I don't think it's possible to force linking against something else when a soname exists.

That's a really bad thing to do unless every boost version is incompatible with each other. It forces a rebuild for every boost update for every extension depending on boost.

Added on my todo list.

edit: Yay.

Thank you!

Hi Curaga,

Will it be possible for you to make some time to update the extension to 0.8.9?

[curaga]

I don't really use gnash, so it'd be fairly low priority. Would you like to take it over?

[Xianwen Chen]

I can try. Have you kept a log file (or ./configure parameters) somewhere when you were building gnash?

[curaga]

Yes, at
http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/metalab/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/tcz/src/gnash/

Looking at the params it has agg statically, the other deps should be visible in its .dep file (agg is a bit weird, I recall it did not offer an install option at all).
