(xulrunner|firefox)-gtkmozembed

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2
1

Hey,

I’ve tried modifying gtkmozembed/extconf.rb to build with
PACKAGE_ID=“xulrunner-gtkmozembed” and “firefox-gtkmozembed”, but
neither work. I have both firefox and xulrunner installed, but running
extconf.rb throws out the same type of error message for each:

Package xulrunner-gtkmozembed was not found in the pkg-config search
path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing
xulrunner-gtkmozembed.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'xulrunner-gtkmozembed' found extconf.rb:27: private method sub!’ called for nil:NilClass
(NoMethodError)

Indeed, pkg-config confirms this… but I don’t understand why. I
installed firefox using Fedora’s yum package manager, and xulrunner as
described here:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XULRunner_1.8.0.4_Release_Notes

How can I get these packages registered properly so that ruby-gnome2
will build properly?

Cheers,
Andy.

I think this can be the key to solve your problem.

Mirko,

The strange thing is that I don’t have xulrunner-gtkmozembed.pc or
firefox-gtkmozembed.pc anywhere on my system…

This means you’ve installed the binary library but non the development
files
needed for compiling.

Search some package named mozilla-devel, firefox-devel, install it and
watch
what files are shipped. This is very distribution dependent and I don’t
know
if Fedora has a firefox-devel package and how it’s named.

Good luck.
