Re: [Gnash-dev] A problem when building firefox plugin npgnash.dll on Windows

[Wei Cao]

It's strange...I download serveral source code packages released, such as gnash-0.8.1,0.8.2,0.8.3, 0.8.4, there is only one plugin.h under directory plugin/, and this head file is for unix, not for win32. I check directory plugin/win32, there is only a plugin.cpp, no corresponding plugin.h for win32.

but soon I find this site, 

http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/gnash/files/10398?file_id=win32-20060806180214-7b9ymp6ydt7o-1

it seems a http code repository for gnash, there are five source code files under plugin/win32, including the missing plugin.h that released  source code packages do not contain. May be these files do not be copied from trunk to released version by mistake?

I will try them immediately.

Unfortunately, none of the GUIs work with -x on Win32.  That's why I
started work on plugin/win32, creating a native npgnash.dll plugin for
Mozilla that embeds VM in-process.

I'm not sure why cao wei can't build the plugin/win32 directory: it
builds just fine on the buildbot Win2003 slave ... ?
