Hello! I need to use Flash Player in IceCat on GNU GuixSD.
First I tried to download NPAPI from get.adobe.com and to place it into ~/.mozilla/plugins with `chmod +x libflashplayer.so`. But after Icecat restart, flash player plugin does not appear.
Now I try to compile Gnash - GNU Flash alternative. I did not found it in repository:
$ guix package -s gnash
$
So I have downloaded and unzipped gnash-0.8.10. And try to compile as non-root user. I've installed boost for it , but gnash configure script does not find it:
$ guix package -i boost
The following package will be installed:
boost 1.66.0 /gnu/store/l6hqfwr1hcbn9rg56bwn2d41g2ai36h2-boost-1.66.0
substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org <https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org>'... substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org <https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org>'... 100.0%

$ pwd

$ ./configure

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively you may set the GCONF_CFLAGS and GCONF_LIBS environment variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for
more details.

Please, what to do?

AFAICS the problem here is not about Boost but about GConf, which is
missing.
Note that if you’re building Gnash, you may just as well write a package
definition for it: it won’t be much harder, and it will benefit
everyone. See
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Defining-Packages.html>
to get started.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
