[vlc-devel] Firefox/Mozilla plugin using 0.8.5 test2

[Kuldipsingh Pabla]

Hi Gurus,

I am able to build and use VLC test2 on Solaris 10 /x86 as a standalone 
applications, with minor problems here and there.  I have built various 
(not all) codecs and libraries/muxers. This is all hunky dorry. I hope 
to share it very soon with this community.

I run into linker/loader issues while building VLC as a plugin for 
Firefox/Mozilla. Initially, I thought that this was caused by firefox 
and mozilla SDK that was built using Sun Studio compilers and not gcc. 
To resolve this, I built a FireFox SDK using gcc. I used the gcc based 
SDK to build VLC plugin - unfortunately, it did not solve my problem and 
hence I coming back to you gurus. Here is what I have observed so far:

o VLC as a standalone app build and runs fine using gcc on Sol10/x86/x64
o VLC as a plugin runs into the following loader/linker errors.
o If I remove *_pic libraries in for building the plugin, at least the 
compilation errors go away and then I run into other issues while 
loading the plugin

Could you please help me this? This is one of the obstacles between VLC 
on S10 on Videolan.org. I understand the following symbols are part of 
the standard libc and glib. But I do not understand why VLC as a 
standalone app is able to resolve these symbols and VLC as plugin not :(

Thanking you in advance,

-Kuldip
