Why build it if it's already been done: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=291482 ? I find compiling the gecko-sdk really silly for a tiny mozilla plugin...

I completely agree. I hesitated to emerge mplayerplug-in after the gecko-sdk dependancy was added, but, eventually I had to do it. I was hoping the ebuild maintainers would have the ebuild check for mozilla and firefox, and compile against which ever it finds. I wonder if this is even possible. I would do it myself, but I'm not that good with ebuilds. Hmm, it would be an interesting project 8O

Ebuilds are simple to make, but I just lack the time...

All I did was make an identical copy of the ebuild and add in a use flag for gecko-sdk.

In the "DEPEND" section I put in:
Code:

!gecko-sdk? (
                   >=net-www/mozilla )
gecko-sdk? (
                   net-libs/gecko-sdk )


And in the src_compile I added:
Code:

if use gecko-sdk; then
           einfo Configuring to build using gecko-sdk
            myconf="${myconf} --with-gecko-sdk=/usr/share/gecko-sdk
fi


That'll work for me as I'll be using galeon which depends on mozilla anyway.

Though, apparently embedders like galeon are working at having stuff added to gecko-sdk because as it is galeon uses various stuff outside the sdk.
