The dependency on libpng needs to be replaced with libpng-apng, as xulrunner requires the latter.

Thank you DaarkWel! I wish I had seen your comment a little earlier, I wasted a lot of time on trying to compile this, but your alternate PKGBUILD works.

This should become the main PKGBUILD for this package imo.

One suggestion: add the "dump" gui to --enable-gui:

--enable-gui=sdl,gtk,dump \

etc.

Without that it is not possible to make audio and video dumps of SWF files. AFAICS this is perfectly stable - the Debian gnash package has it enabled, too.

PS: the PKGBUILD for the agg dependency also seems to require some adjustment, I commented there.

There is github fork of gnash with build patches: https://github.com/shunonymous/gnash.

PKGBUILD for player, without browser plugin:

  rm -f "$pkgdir"/usr/share/applications/*.schemas
}

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()’:

    Aborting...

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/" {} \;
