Type conflicts when embedding Japhar in Mozilla

[Pablo Giambiagi]

I'm trying to build the Japhar/OJI plugin for Mozilla (indeed, SeaMonkey) under Linux 2.0.36, and I wonder if I'm using the right sources as Japhar/OJI seems to be trying to redefine types and functions in a way that conflicts with SeaMonkey's.

This is what I've done, or tried to do:

• Following the instructions at http://www.japhar.org/oji.html, I first downloaded the Mozilla code (from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/source/mozilla-19990128.tar.gz, as it was suggested at news:netscape.public.mozilla.builds by Daniel Nunes). This worked fine.

• I downloaded Japhar, which compiled without major problems.

• Then, I configured Japhar to use Mozilla/NSPR by invoking:

~pgiamb/japhar/configure
  --with-mozilla=/a/kingkong/fdt/pgiamb/mozilla --enable-nspr

  --enable-oji --with-sun-jdk=/a/kingkong/fdt/pgiamb/Java/jdk1.1.5

  --prefix=/a/kingkong/fdt/pgiamb/Japhar --enable-debugging
But, when "gmake" is run, gcc wouldn't find NSPR headers (certainly to
be found at ~pgiamb/mozilla/nspr/include). And, after fixing this momentarily
by setting C_INCLUDE_PATH and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH to point to this directory, 
I get the following error messages:
c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/a/kingkong/fdt/pgiamb/japhar/lib/liboji -I../../include

...
followed by a long list of mismatches between type definitions (also
C function declarations).
 

Help will be greatly appreciated!
 

Thanks,
