Compile runtime browser plugin with ppmake

Compiling or Editing the Panda Source
1

Hi,
I’ve compiled Panda3D 1.7.0 on my Linux gentoo with ppmake. It’s seems work well, but I’m not able to find nppanda3d.so, needed for browser integration. What I’m missing?

Many thanks!

Nicholas

note: I tryied with makepanda, with no sucess:

nppanda3d.so is part of the runtime build, which is not made by default. If you want to build the runtime in ppremake, you need to set the following in your Config.pp file:

#define HAVE_P3D_PLUGIN 1
#define NPAPI_IPATH ... something appropriate ...
#define NPAPI_LPATH ... something appropriate ...
#define NPAPI_LIBS ... something appropriate ...
#define HAVE_NPAPI 1
#define PANDA_PACKAGE_HOST_URL ... something appropriate ..

Note that you do have to set PANDA_PACKAGE_HOST_URL to an appropriate URL that hosts your Core API build (and you also have to build a Core API and host it there). You could point this to runtime.panda3d.org/ , which is the default PANDA_PACKAGE_HOST_URL, but presumably there’s a reason you’re making a custom nppanda3d.so build, and that same reason might compel you to have a custom Core API build as well. (If it doesn’t, then are you sure you need to make a custom nppanda3d.so build?)

I’m not sure about the makepanda issues, but it might be solved with the latest cvs tree. The same host issue applies to a makepanda build as well, of course.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I’m re-compiling panda with runtime enabled.

After your reply, I’m a little bit confused: I built panda3D SDK with ppmake because in order to make some games. And I’m building the runtime plug-in in order to play panda3d games only released through browser. I’m not using pre-built packages (deb, rpm) because of Gentoo (and ppmake instead of makepanda for the issue stated before).

I’m doing it wrong?

I’m also getting the last cvs version in order to try with pandamake.

Thank you!

Well, I don’t know whether you’re doing it wrong or not. You might be able to use a standard nppanda3d.so that is already provided at panda3d.org (you could unpack it from an rpm or deb file and just install it into ~/.mozilla/plugins; it might just work).

Whether or not you need to build your own runtime has nothing to do with the Panda3D version that you build for development.

Good idea. Thanks for your suggestions.
