Hi, I have been trying to build and install the klash4 plugin on my Linux x86_64 system running KDE 4.2.2, to be usable in konqueror, without success so far. Digging through the build and installation procedure, I came across a couple of issues that I'd like to discuss here.
First of all, I could not spot any decent documentation describing konqueror's plugin interface. Can anybody give a pointer? Issue #1: The klash4 plugin is built as a libtool module, which produces three files: libklashpart.a, libklashpart.la, and libklashpart.so. The static library certainly is not required? Issue #2: It is an established convention not to use a 'lib' name prefix for loadable modules, shouldn't the 'lib' prefix be dropped? Issue #3: The module loader code does not use libltdl and therefore does not use the .la file, shouldn't it be excluded from the installation? Issue #4: The module is installed in 'kde4/plugins'. On my system, there are lots of other modules, all of which are installed in 'kde4', shouldn't the klash4 plugin go there, too? I tried this, and konqueror apparently was able to find and load it. Issue #5: When run, konqueror displays the following error message: - konqueror(17573)/kdeui (kdelibs): No such XML file "klashpartui.rc" Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing. - I guess this is because the plugin does not have any gui elements to merge with the containing application. Shouldn't a dummy file be provided, just to avoid the error message? thanks, Thomas _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list Gnash-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
