Description A.C.Heron 2009-02-07 20:53:42 UTC 
In the configure script pkg-config checks the presence of swfdec-0.8 package. If it does not find it, compilation stops. configure should be able to handle newer versions of swfdec and set SWFDEC_MAJORMINOR accordingly to 0.8 or 0.9. For example, something like 

SWFDEC_MAJORMINOR=`pkg-config --list-all | grep -o 'swfdec-[0-9\.]\{1,\}' | sed 's/swfdec-\([0-9\.].*\)/\1/'`

swfdec-gnome compiles and works fine with swfdec-0.9.2.
Comment 1 Benjamin Otte (Company) 2009-02-08 08:52:13 UTC 
Different Swfdec versions usually provide a different API, so we pick a specific version of swfdec-gnome and support that one.
Also, Swfdec 0.9 is still in development, so the API might change at any time and prevent swfdec-gnome compilation.

So, the choice to only support Swfdec 0.8 is a deliberate one.
