"Watch this space." ;-) I think you've encouraged me enough to give it a try. It may work if IcedTea-Web will find the nspr/nss/xul libraries FF-31 installed, without needing the .pc files, or I can fake it with stolen files from the standalone versions of nspr/nss. > But for cairo, 1.12.16 ought to be a drop-in replacement for 1.12.6 > (not tested, obviously, but I would actually be surprised if > anything needing 1.12.6 barfs at 1.12.6 : remember that we only I think you meant 16 for the first? > point to current versions). The current cairo (in 7.7) is 1.14, I > think. I understand why you only point to current versions and as they say in the "hospitality" business "Not my table", but it really helps those of us who are trying to update as much as we can of existing systems to know where the API/ABI changes. I'm going to assume 1.12.16 is only bug fixes, and 1.12.6 will (mostly) work. > For xulrunner, we dropped it some time ago.

I'm thinking if I take npapi from 7.6 I may be able to bridge the gap. > So long as your firefox versions of nss/nspr remain up to date, you > have no particular disadvantage in using those instead of system > versions. They're as up to date as FF-31. ;-) -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates." (I do not personally endorse any additions after this line.
