I supose you meant "Mozilla" ;)
I tried, I used debbuild to generate the *.debs, with no success, it
outputs nothing more.

I can test it, but my knowledge of mozilla and c++ are weak. But if you
tell me (in a bit more guided way) what to do I'll gladly do it.

Actually Mozilla DOES see the plugin, If I generate the plugin and open
mozilla, the SWF MIME gets registered as this gnash-db.log shows
22:33:29: PluginGetValue. Init
22:33:29: PluginGetValue. End
22:33:29: PluginGetValue. Init
22:33:29: PluginGetValue. End


And here's how I've modified the function to see what's going on internally.
NPError
NS_PluginGetValue(NPPVariable aVariable, void *aValue)
{
//    GNASH_REPORT_FUNCTION;

    NPError err = NPERR_NO_ERROR;

    dbglogfile.setVerbosity(2);
    dbglogfile << "PluginGetValue. Init " << endl;
    switch (aVariable) {
      case NPPVpluginNameString:
          *((char **)aValue) = PLUGIN_NAME;
          break;

      // This becomes the description field you see below the opening
      // text when you type about:plugins
      case NPPVpluginDescriptionString:
          *((char **)aValue) = (char *)description;
          break;

      case NPPVpluginNeedsXEmbed:
#ifdef HAVE_GTK2
          *((PRBool *)aValue) = PR_TRUE;
#else
          *((PRBool *)aValue) = PR_FALSE;
#endif
          break;
      case NPPVpluginTimerInterval:
      case NPPVpluginKeepLibraryInMemory:
      default:
          err = NPERR_INVALID_PARAM;
          break;
    }
    dbglogfile << "PluginGetValue. End " << endl;
//    GNASH_REPORT_RETURN;
    return err;
}

So the plugin is "reachable", but for some strange reason
NS_PluginInitialize()
never gets called and instead, NS_PluginShutdown()
gets called twice when running:
mozilla /home/jo/gnash/testsuite/movies.all/elvis.swf

as shows:
cat gnash-dbg.log
22:37:26: Plugin already shut down
22:37:35: Plugin already shut down

The first one appears when mozilla starts, the second when I close mozilla.


Any hint?
Kind regards.
