Hi,

I'm trying to install GeckoPort on openSUSE 11.4 and Lazarus compiled with Qt. But:

I'm using this copy of XULRunner:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XULRunner_1.9.1_Release_Notes . I followed all steps of installation shown on this page.

So, GeckoPort isnt compatible with Qt and GTK2? :(

On Windows worked perfectly.

Thx.

windres" not found, switching to external mode

On ubuntu I had to install mingw32-binutils to get windres. It wasn't part of the standard binutils. IRC I had also to create a symlink to i586-mingw32msvc-windres. Windres is used to compile resources in the windows format. Reason why you find it only in cross-binutils. FPC can read them, including on linux.

You can run this component in Ubuntu?

I haven't tried. My comments were only related to the compile error you encountered. I encountered this problem when porting an app to linux that used file resources.

Thank you very much! :) Tonight I'll try installing again...

Yes, on 32 bit it should work out of the box. On x86_64 you need at least fpc version 2.6.0 (rc1).

Thanks guys! :)

Unfortunately I can't use the GeckoPort, Now I saw that he does not support HTML5. x(

Thank you all anyway! :)
