[OpenIndiana-discuss] __deregister_frame_info_bases

[Мартин Бохниг]

Interesting,

because in 

$ nm /lib/libsocket.so.1|grep deregister_frame_info_bases
         w __deregister_frame_info_bases

it is defined as weak symbol:

$ man nm

          "W"
           "w" The symbol is a weak symbol that has not been specifically
               tagged as a weak object symbol.  When a weak defined symbol is
               linked with a normal defined symbol, the normal defined symbol
               is used with no error.  When a weak undefined symbol is linked
               and the symbol is not defined, the value of the symbol is
               determined in a system-specific manner without error.  On some
               systems, uppercase indicates that a default value has been
               specified.

Apostolos didn't state which version of the src tree he uses, but probably the newest one?

nspluginwrapper-1.4.4?

In its entire src there is at no single place any mention of (shortened search string) "deregister_frame_info_bases" so perhaps it's in the symbols table of the LinUX plugin binary (?)

I don't have the Flash plugin for LinUX at hand nor ever spent time with this wrapper, but it looks quite interesting/promising. Also from what its README states.

Download
nspluginwrapper is packaged by most Linux distributions and can be installed from your distribution's repository. To get the most recent version, you can also build from source.

On the other hand I wonder if it is still in maintainance or even under development.
Perhaps they have some github elsewhere?

Their Downloads section looks a bit old, but on the other hand the wrapper itself may simply be stable and no development is needed.
We can cheack later if we get it working ;)


Anyways thanks to Apostolos for bringing this up.
Maybe simply another ld option and you may get it working.

@Apostolos: Too bad you didn't tell what you changed to come that far, because by default it won't at least configure.
So I cannot quickly (without hassle) re-create your scenario and hence cannot tell you what you are missing.
The first thing it appears to depend on are GNU tools.
