First off: I’m totally new to mac / programming on the mac, so please excuse my ignorance Anyway… I’m trying to get the juce browserplugindemo working in firefox. It works fine on windows and it compiles on the mac in xcode 3.2.6 (64bit) (took almost 2 hours, is that normal on a mac?) . However, when I copy “JuceBrowserPluginDemo.plugin” to “library/Internet Plug-Ins”, and start the “test.html” in firefox (64bit, also tried with 32bit mode), firefox tells me the plugin cannot be found. In safari i don’t see the gui from the plugin at all, however when i push the “tell the plugin to show a popup”-button, the dialog does pop up. So in safari it sort of works. My goal is to have it working on both safari and firefox. Can anyone help me ?
Getting the right settings is a bit of a black art, and I’m afraid I don’t know what to suggest there, very hard to know what the browser is objecting to. But it does work - I have a commercial client for whom I’ve been using this stuff to create a plugin, and although 64-bit is now a problem, it does load.
64-bit is on my to-do-list - it’ll involve writing a special type of componentpeer to write pixels directly to the browser rather than embedding an NSView like it currently does.
