patch to add DBUS_LIBS to librssextension_la_LIBADD (804 bytes, patch)
2011-11-19 06:12 UTC, Alexandre Rostovtsev 		accepted-commit_now Details | Review

Description Alexandre Rostovtsev 2011-11-19 06:06:51 UTC 
With the rss extension enabled, epiphany-3.2 crashes immediately due to missing libdbus symbols:

$ epiphany
epiphany: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/epiphany/3.2/extensions/librssextension.so: undefined symbol: dbus_g_bus_get

To prevent this, DBUS_LIBS needs to be added to librssextension_la_LIBADD.

Review of attachment 201696 [details] [review]:

Seems I forgot to remove RSS extension from the default extensions built. It's mostly useless now since it has no UI.

Feel free to commit your patch, although I'll likely disable or kill the extension anyway.

I don't have gnome commit rights.

I'll do it then. Thanks a lot, Alexandre :-)
Comment 5 André Klapper 2013-05-27 16:12:34 UTC 
According to its developer, epiphany-extensions is not under active development
anymore. (For reference: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2013-May/msg00035.html and bug 700924.)

It is unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel
free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility
for active development again.
