[gentoo-user] openoffice-3.1.0: nsplugin USE flag does nothing?

[Nikos Chantziaras]

I enabled the nsplugin USE flag in OOo 3.1.0 and re-emerged.  Curiously, 
nothing changed.  There's no plugin listed in Firefox (3.0.11).  Am I 
missing something obvious?  I'm on AMD64.

OOo has been emerged with following USE flags:

bash-completion dbus gtk linguas_en linguas_en_US nsplugin

I also don't know what it does, but I do know I had to remove the flag to get 
OOo to build since about 4 months ago.

More info at bug 256773. Perhaps you can make sense of it and even get your 
question answered, it's all a bit over my head.

I would assume that USE=nsplugin gives you browser plugins to view OOo files. 
It's a major hassle but have you looked in the emerge log for clues? Perhaps 
the plugins couldn't be built and th reason is buried deep in that massive 
build log. 

You might even need to MAKEOPTS="-j1" to get a sane order in the log ... :-)

I seem to recall some issue where OOo was building the plugin against
a different xulrunner when you have both 1.8 and 1.9 installed. In
other words maybe it build the FF2 plug-in instead of FF3? If that is
even possible. I could be totally wrong. :)
