IcedTea-Web-1.4.2 does not compile against Xulrunner-27

[Merell L. Matlock, Jr.]

(B)LFS-7.4 (except for minor updates from BLFS-SVN. Built and installed Xulrunner/Firefox 27. Attempted to update IcedTea-Web from V4.1 (built against Xulrunner 23.0.1). OpenJDK-1.7.0.51/IcedTea-2.4.5 is installed.

Make output:

There is no difference between /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-23.0.1/include/npruntime.h and /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-26.0/include/npruntime.h.

However:

I cannot confirm .

I updated ITW (February 6th, 2014) using Xulrunner 27 (February 4th, 2014) without a problem.

However, I had a similar problem with an older box, where I needed to update some packages, to get Xulrunner 27.If the error is the same, I may be able to help.

I would like to see the log since the previous g++ instruction (very big instruction) leading to the error, until the part you sent before.

Please, send not here, but to the support list.

Confirmed.

It seems that NPAPI-SDK-0.27.2 is missing as required for IcedTea-Web. I did not notice in 7.4, because I already had it installed. LibreOffice and Gnash were updated, but not IcedTea-Web. It seems that the support was introduced in IcedTea-Web 1.2:

​http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web

Waiting for Merell to report back, and then, to fix the book.

Installed NPAPI-SDK-0.27.2--IcedTea-Web built and installed successfully. I'll report same on BLFS-support.

Thank you!
