Arch Linux

Added the dependencies for gdk-pixbuf2 and gdk-pixbuf, and tested the build in clean arch install. Thanks alfplayer!

Missing gdk-pixbuf2 and gdk-pixbuf in makedepends. The first is in Arch repos. The second is in AUR and depends on aur/gtk which depends on aur/glib.

And upstream fixed the error, so I updated the PKGBUILD.

Quick little update, should work now.

Merging gnash-trunk-git into gnash-git. Bother were orphans; feel free to adopt.

Just using html5 video and audio rendering on compatible sites.

Oh, why? Any security problem?

Don't use it anymore. Orphaning it.

@tmtvl
For current AUR version, gnash-trunk-git 0.8.11.r22195.g7349e86-1,
by gcc version 4.9.1 20140903 (prerelease) (GCC),
makepkg succeeded with your suggestion. thx.

Hi, my system:
gnash-trunk-git pkgver=0.8.11.r22230.g21b977d
gcc version 4.9.1 20140903 (prerelease) (GCC)

and makepkg fails with/without your suggestion.

AS I said upstream, a possible workaround for the bug is to edit libcore/DragState.h:64:
bool hasBounds() const {
-return (_bounds);
+return (NULL != _bounds);
}

On my system it works, but on a system running gcc 4.8.2 it failed, so anyone who runs into the problem could let me know if it helps, that would be useful.

giflib bug is fixed, but another one appeared :

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?43198

No update until this one is fixed.

@melkhatt : gnash doesn't build against last giflib. Will try with giflib-nox11, but as gnash is using x11 and any browser to work with it...

I try downgrading giflib, but it will conflict with another packages. Will have to wait until gnash code is updated.

we need to downgrade "giflib" to compile.
"giflib-nox11" from aur makes the deal

@taro : bug reported upstream. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?42574

We'll have to wait now.

Hi, I got the following error while building the latest gnash. If any idea, please help!

@FredBezies: thanks, but as fas as I can see, base-devel was already installed.
pacman said, it would be a reinstallation. Nevertheless I needed to install autoconf, automake and some others...

@oriba : sudo pacman -S base-devel

You need this to use fully and quietly AUR packages.

No, I'm sorry, not cmake was mising, it was automake / autoconf... that is missing.

cmake is needed to install, so I think it must be mentioned in the makedepends-entry.

@snoxu : try these commands.

yaourt -G gnash-trunk-git
cd gnash-trunk-git
makepkg -s

After building : yaourt -U name of package.

Getting some error about "Unable to read PKGBUILD":

Cleaned up PKGBUILD. agg is deactived for now.

@FredBezies Ya. So, I think you mean Youtube used to work but the latest version doesn't. I just wornder it is my personal problem or general one. thx!

@taro : It used to work. But Gnash is far from being a fully working opened flash tool.

Dear FredBezies, thx for your comment and contribution. I have tried the latest version but it still doesn't work, producing error "The SWF Player plugin has crashed. Reload the page to try again." on Iceweasel and just crash on Midori. Is it working at your place?

gnash-trunk-git 0.8.10.r21946.ga3180f2-2 => enable-ffmpeg is enabled.

Disable ffmpeg a few versions ago because of build problems. Will try to enable it back asap.

For playing HD videos on youtube i guess you would change PKGBUILD:39 to --enable-media=ffmpeg \

Thx, Mr. FredBezies, the build is also in success here with xulrunner 28.0+, althought Youtube doesn't work still... ("An error occured in first visit. Then, the browser freezes when reloaded..") However, the website of gnash says it can work with youtube..

Gnash should be built without problem when using xulrunner 28.0+

Well, great news. But getting it fixed with xulrunner 27.0.x will be better.

And Gnash is sometimes very limited. Don't worry if you find not working sites.

The bug seems to be fixed at the upstream, great.
By the way, I was already succeeded in install of this build
gnash-trunk-git 0.8.10.r21945.ga5c2e3b-1
with xulrunner 26.0 because of your comment at the upstream bbs
->Bug appeared when archlinux upgrade xulrunner to version 27.0
thanks for that!

However, flash doesn't work at every website I visit like
http://www.youtube.com
http://www.google.com/finance?q=INDEXDJX:.DJI
http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/SET:IND/chart

Do you have any idea if it is my environment problem or gnash problem?

Cannot get it to build, even with this make line : make CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -Wc++0x-compat" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fPIC"

Bug reported. Will have to wait for a fix.

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?41587

Wow, great, thx. Mine is
community/xulrunner 27.0-1 [installed]

Looks like it is a bug related to xulrunner 27.0. Will try to see how to fix it.

Thank you for your contribution. This is what I really want now!
Then, I am trying to makepkg, however, encountered the following error.
According to Stackoverflow, it may be fixed by a compiler argument,
but this error happens only for me?! If not, please update this package, Mr. FredBezies ?

Cleaned up again PKGBUILD. Making it looking like official PKGBUILD : removed vaapi for now.

Thanks for this, BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!. My english is poor, but here i go... The PKGBUILD file has a problem, it has 2 lines with --enable-device , one for vaapi and other for X11. Seeing the makepkg -s process, it seem that only X11 is working, it will not compile with vaapi for folks like me that have a Radeon graphics card. and need vaapi support. Tomorrow i will see if works because my APU E-300 CPU is very damn slow and compilation took an eternity...

Cleaned up PKGBUILD

Updated PKGBUILD and add gnash.install file.

What about removing this package ? Gnash-trunk-git is still alive and working ;)

Thanks. Done.

Also, --enable-hwaccel was changed to --enable-device.

The patch has already been applied upstream and is no longer required.

Added patch to get it build against libboost 1.5.0. Found it official package.

Cleaned up a little PKGBUILD and disabled ffmpeg support for now. It breaks build process.

You can disable gconf by adding --without-gconf to the PKGBUILD

Oops, just read I should use the other package instead.

Found it! To compile this without gconf, add this line:
--without-gconf \

gconf is, sadly, a dependency. I came here to tried this package since it didn't list it as dependency but it complains when compiling.

Is there any possible way to exclude gconf? I don't need that

You forgot to add extra/boost to the depedencies. Without it, the first call to CC failed with "DeviceGlue.h:27:34: fatal error: boost/shared_array.hpp: No such file or directory".

I think gconf should be a makedepend and not a depend.

Added gconf as a depend.

yes gconf should be a dep

I had to install gconf to build, which isn't in makedepends.

Modified it following your advices. I will try to make it cleaner asap.

I suggested making your package the new gnash-git, as -git packages should clone master/trunk by default and pkg-branch-git is only need if you want to checkout one specific branch.

Some remarks for the PKGBUILD:
1) Avoid package name references in pkgdesc - better: " The GNU SWF Player based on GameSWF - git development version"
2) Avoid replaces=(...), it causes unneccessary problems
3) Use "$srcdir" and "$pkgdir" instead of ${srcdir} and ${pkgdir}
4) Building starts automatically in "$srcdir", the first cd is unneccessary
5) Use the package() function to include every "make install" you do, that's what the function is for ;)
6) If you are the maintainer, declare yourself as such (maybe consider "foo at bar dot com" for email addresses)
7) Use namcap. It points out that you need desktop-file-utils and hicolor-icon-theme because gnash provides a .desktop file and icons. Because of this, you need a .install file to call update-desktop-database -q and gtk-update-icon-cache

This is everything I see for now. Have fun :)

Your package seems to be more advanced, so I will file a deletion request for gnash-git at aur-general. Let me give you some hints on your PKGBUILD, though. See your comments gnash-trunk-git. :)

Simple question. What is the interest of this, because of gnash-trunk-git is already there ?

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39699

And with far less dependencies : agg boost-libs curl ffmpeg giflib gsm gstreamer0.10-base gtk2 libdca speex

Cleaned up a little again, remove obsolete configure options. It works better and better now ;)

Cleaned a little PKGBUILD. Add an option not ot build testsuite.

Don't try to build with a multilib system, it will crash.

There are a bug into your PKGBUILD...
Change:
'gstreamer0.10-base boost-libs' -> 'gstreamer0.10-base' 'boost-libs'

Indeed multilib. But gnash should be native 64 bit, right?

Thanks for fixing the git behaviour.

Cdh : multilib system ?

I will modify the bad "behaviour" in next update.

WTF

if [ -d ${_gitname} ]; then
rm -rf ${_gitname}

Why would you force a redownload when it is already downloaded?

Anyway, aborted for me with

I have no idea what it wanted to do in /usr/lib32 anyway.

added xulrunner as depend for gnash. Needed for 0.8.10-dev version.

rafmav : cleaned up this PKGBUILD.

namcap tells several erros:

@Eothred : your PKGBUILD was nearly working. Just a typo to modify. And it works. Adopted and updated ;)

Will try your PKGBUILD asap.

Ah, I'm sorry, forgot to modify the "time limit" on the pastebin I suppose. And I managed to delete the PKGBUILD :)

Anyway, here is a new one: http://aur.pastebin.com/dXjhhmdH

Note I changed the gitname variable since this new suggestion of mine delete the gitname folder... I think this works (I didn't go all the way to compilation, but configuration started and it looks OK).

As your pastebin was not more available, I tried this option, but it didn't work :

I will look at it asap and adapt it from your PKGBUILD. Thanks for the tip.

Good package, but could I propose to take advantage of the --depth option in git clone? It does take quite a while (and is quite an unnecessary load on the server) to clone the entire repo. See my suggested PKGBUILD here as an example: http://pastebin.ca/1924933
