Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: totem
Firefox Granparadiso (currently 3.0 alpha 7) crashes with missing
symbols in totem plugin.
Most of those could be fixed by adding "-L/usr/lib/firefox -lxpcom" (ie
linking with Firefox 2 as usual) so at runtime, Firefox 3 also knows it
has to load -lxpcom (but from its own /usr/lib/firefox-granparadiso
following its own LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
I have a working patch that does just that.
After this patch, there's still one remaining missing symbol: nsMemory::Clone
Problem is this symbol was in -lxpcom before, it is now only in libxpcomglue.a
(which is in Firefox SDK that's now in firefox-granparadiso-dev in gutsy, but
unfortunately not in firefox-dev).
Instead of messing with compilation options, I thought it was better to
not use that symbol, which is used only 3 times in the whole totem
source tree.
I'm made a second (working) patch.
I hope you'll consider those patches so that firefox 3 users can also
use totem plugin, like I do now.
In the long term, it would be better to stop compiling against firefox-
dev but use xulrunner sdk (that will be packaged hopefully soon by the
MozillaTeam).
patches follow.
