[Gnash-dev] Failing to build mozilla plugin for gnash-0.8.7

[Julian Seward]

Hi,

This is probably a clueless-newbie question, but searching the list
archive doesn't help.

I am trying to build 0.8.7 on x86_64-linux (openSUSE 11.0) for use
with Firefox 3.6 (64-bit).

I configured with

  ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/Inst --enable-gui=gtk

and that builds and "make install"s ok.  However, when I looking in
$prefix/lib/gnash for libgnashplugin.so, it isn't there.  The online
docs at http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/manual/gnashref.html#manually
(actually the next section, Installation) state that I should

  .. copy the file libgnashplugin.so  to .mozilla/plugins ..

but it doesn't exist.

If I copy the entire contents of $prefix/lib/gnash, as shown below,
to ~/.mozilla/plugins, and restart Firefox, I get a bunch of
complaints like this

  LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library 
  .mozilla/plugins/libgnashmedia-0.8.7.so
  [.mozilla/plugins/libgnashmedia-0.8.7.so: undefined symbol:
   _ZTIN5gnash8ImageRGBE]

What am I doing wrong?
