Re: [Gnash-dev] Gnash on the iPhone/iPad

Why does Agg not work on the iPhone?

Yes, agg does not work on iPhone.

You need to set a external variable to bypass configure checks, the thing have been theorical all the time..

I finally got through the mountain of dependencies and hit this

configure: error: Cairo renderer is not supported by Dump gui. Use --enable-renderer=AGG or --enable-gui=gtk,sdl

so I tried -to add -enable-gui=sdl

and I get

configure: error: Cairo renderer is not supported by SDL gui. Use --enable-renderer=AGG or --enable-gui=gtk,sdl

So no dice which ever way I try it.

I have seen on the web that Cario and SDL should play nice, but AGG also looks pretty good as it a bit more focused on embedded. Without code modification AGG seems the route to go.

Piero,

Your scripts implied that you used SDL + cairo, but my gnash configure is telling me this is not possible. Did you bypass this check?

Thanks,

Ash

p.s. And all compiled on Linux, just to mention it again :) And to think I almost went out and bought a mac to do this...

Nice, i've seen this plugin, this were the start point.

Know what you need is fix the bug i'm saying.

Attached are all the files and compiling flags used to get gnash
libraries to work stand alone on iphoneOS.

All you need to accomplish is making gnash draw on cairo without a
hardware backend (only image surface).
As said before it should work, but the fact is that it doesnt.
