I think the package also depends on the boost1.69-libs package.

@iamtakingiteasy thank you for the patches. You should adopt the package and integrate in your patches so it builds easier.

Unfortunately, I failed to install xulrunner. It's written on its Wikipedia page that that package is no longer supported.

@iamtakingiteasy thank you, it works :)

Regarding gif error, this patch may help: http://ix.io/20vM

Basically gnash testing only for libgif 5.1 ignoring that there might be newer minor versions.

You also may need to replace FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE with AV_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE where it is used in code: http://ix.io/20vO

it fails to build with the following error:

GnashImageGif.cpp: In destructor ‘virtual gnash::image::{anonymous}::GifInput::~GifInput()’:
GnashImageGif.cpp:126:20: error: too few arguments to function ‘int DGifCloseFile(GifFileType*, int*)’

Minor correction on @zootboy’s comment – the wildcards need to be quoted, otherwise they might be expanded by the shell, resulting in a “paths must precede expression” error from find.

Also, we might as well single-quote the sed script, run it on multiple files at once, and remove an unnecessary option:

find . \( -iname '*.cpp' -o -iname '*.h' \) -exec sed -i 's/FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE/AV_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE/' {} +

Quick & dirty fix for the current build failure. Add this after the cd line in prepare():

find . \( -iname *.cpp -o -iname *.h \) -exec sed -r -i "s/FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE/AV_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE/" {} \;

do you want to orphan the package, i could take over.

@Rulatir gcc6 is pulled in by xulrunner, which is needed to build the npapi browser plugin. If you don't need that, you can change this line in the PKGBUILD:

--with-npapi-plugindir=/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins \

to this:

--disable-npapi \

and remove xulrunner as a dep to skip those huge builds.

This package has insane build requirements including gcc6, which means that building it with all the requirements that also need to be built is a day of hard work. Any hope a binary might be provided?
