 Posted: Sat Oct 12, 2002 4:48 pm Post subject: Acrobat Reader plugin, Mozilla, and Gcc 3.2 |
 |
|
Has anyone gotten the acrobat reader plugin to work with mozilla and a gcc 3.2 system.
I've been digging through the forums for 40 minutes or so and found lots of "search the forums cause there are other threads about this" but couldn't actually find those threads.
I have gnome 2, mozilla 1.1-r1, and acroread 5.06-r1 all installed from portage over a gentoo 1.4 system. The plugin file (nppdf.so) was only installed in the /opt/netscape directory, I figured that mozilla probably read that directory too but just in cause I made a symlink to the plugin file in the mozilla plugin directory (/usr/lib/mozilla). In mozilla if I click on help->About Plugins it says no plugins are installed.
It seems like maybe this has something to do with Gcc 3.2. I used emerge to get acroread though so if that doesn't compile it from source I don't know what would, I haven't been able to find the source for it on adobes site (not surprisingly).
Has anyone figured this out? If you're going to refer to another thread please include a link to it.
Thanks,
xpfx |

Emerging mozilla 1.1-r1 without the gtk2 flag did the trick. Don't know why but now flash and acrobat work (hopefully java as well).
cd /usr/portage/net-www/mozilla
export USE=-gtk2
emerge mozilla-1.1-r1.ebuild
peace yo,

I got the shockwave-flash, acroread, and java plugins working. Java was a pain, I had to:
emerge unmerge openmotif
follow this guy's instructions to compile sun's java j2sdk
copy the /etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.0 (from the "emerge sun-jdk") to a new file, edit it to specify the new j2sdk location, and run "java-config --set-system-vm=j2sdk ; env-update ; source /etc/profile"
emerge openmotif (I guess java apps use these openmotif widgets!?)
THEN
export USE=-gtk2 ; emerge mozilla-1.1-r1.ebuild
Note: about:plugins in Mozilla 1.1 only reports the sun-j2sdk-1.4.0 plugin for java (as well as flash and pdf), although there symlinks in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for both blackdown-jre and sun-jdk. However, Mozilla might only look at the java plugin in $JAVA_HOME (which was for the hand-built j2sdk). I could try using java-config to change the environment (or just export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/whatever)... that might be interesting.
But I've got Mozilla 1.1 with java, flash, and acroread plugins working. OpenOffice.Org 1.0.1 also seems to run without problems. |

Yes the script works, the one in the second post on the first page. You can't just run it though, check out some of the variables in the beginning and you'll see that it's looking for java sources and patches in a specific directory. You'll have to download them yourself (due to Sun's licensing) and then put them into some directory. The script just follows the "javafromscratch" hint on the linux from here, so you can also read that page to figure out what is going on. I think applying the patches specified in the hint is important to get the compilation of java to work; I followed it exactly and neither the script nor executing the lines from the hint by hand caused any problems. My issue was with getting the java plugin to work in Mozilla 1.1, and I recompiled java three times (not a little task when it takes four hours) before I tried re-emerging Mozilla with the USE=-gtk2 flag which made all plugins (java, flash, nppdf) work. |

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

those j2sdk-1_4_0*.zip files are the source files that you download from sun. put them AND the patches (which are .bz2'ed) in $SOURCES and it should unpack normally.
re: your second post: it's probably asking what file to patch because it couldn't unzip the sun sources to patch them. |
