[arch-general] Running Mozilla Prism?
Has anyone managed to get Mozilla Prism to run properly? The behaviour I see is that a .desktop file and a file in ~/.webapps are created. Both look all right to my untrained eye. The behaviour when double-clicking the .desktop file is as expected though. I never end up where I intended, but always at the default startpage (http://www.google.com/firefox). You can find a screenshot of what I got after creating a webapp for youtube (URL http://www.youtube.com/) and ran it for the first time here[1]. Has anyone had any success with it? /M [1]: http://therning.org/magnus_files/prism.png -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

Works fine for me... been using it since it was first released. --

How strange. I run the following: Arch, 64 bit, Gnome, FF 3.6.3 Does that match your setup at all? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

32bit
I wonder if that could make a difference at all. Anyone out there using Prism successfully on Arch 64bit? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

After reading this thread I just took a look - I hadn't heard of it before. It seems the PKGBUILD pulls in an i686 binary (there's a complementary bin32- version). Is there a reason why it's not a source package? Pete.

This is where the confusion may be. I'm using the Firefox extension[1]. The stand-alone app is only built for 32bit by upstream (that seems to be a common situation for Mozilla stuff, rather sad if you ask me ;-). The code is available in an SVN repo so it ought to be possible to do a build from source. /M [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6665/ -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

Ah, I haven't tried that. source. Yes, I could only find a 32-bit binary from Mozilla. But, things in the AUR usually build from source unless there's a reason not to, right? I don't know if there is a policy to this effect, or if it's just common practice... but PKGBUILDS should /build/, right? :-) I just checked out Prism from SVN, but there isn't a readme on how to build it and I don't have any experience with building mozilla's code. Also the Prism wiki doesn't provide any information either. Will post back if I get anywhere... Pete.

Okay, the build instructions are here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Prism/Build And it seems that it needs to be built inside of xulrunner and then separated out :-( I don't have time to do this right now, but if anyone fancies turning these instructions into a prism-svn package, then I'd be happy to help test. Cheers, Pete.

Excellent, thanks Nicolás! I'm just installing it now... I did notice a small typo though, line 39 should read: cd ${srcdir}/mozilla-1.9.2/mozilla-obj/prism/dist not cd ${srcdir}/mozilla-1.9.2/mozilla-obj/prism/dist/prism Will report back... Pete.

Ah, also that /usr/bin/prism links to the pkgdir when it should link to /usr/lib/prism-1.0b4/bin/prism But, fixing that, it launches but just gives a window with the following error in it: XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome://webrunner/content/webrunner.xul Line Number 58, Column 5: <command id="cmd_saveImage" label="&saveImage.label;" oncommand="WebRunner.doCommand(this.id);"/> Any idea? Thanks, Pete.

sorry, it seems i've lost the pkgbuild that fixed this issue and uploaded the previous version :p i'll upload a new rev in a few minutes.
But, fixing that, it launches but just gives a window with the following
error
in it:

Ah, I haven't tried that.
I decided to try that mostly because the only pre-built versions were 32-bit, and AUR didn't have a build-from-source package, just as you noticed ;-) I also liked the idea of a FF extension on a matter of principles; why install XulRunner for Prism when I already have a perfectly working XulRunner for FF already? Anyway, I can report that the FF Prism Extension works equally well on a 32-bit Ubuntu system I have access to :-( The only system were it works as expected is a WinXP system I have here :-( I wonder if there's something in the FF build in Arch (and Ubuntu) that prevents it from working properly. I'll report more after I've tried the Mozilla build of FF. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

Well, interestingly enough the Prism extension for FF works in the Mozilla build of FF, so it looks like there's something in the Arch build that prevents it from working. Any ideas on how I find out what build configuration is used for the official builds on the Mozilla site? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

Slightly more interesting still, firefox-pgo from AUR seems to works perfectly with the Prism extension. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
