Running lastest version from git. It writes this error in console log:

Same issue here on Version 25.0.1364.160 Ubuntu 13.04 (25.0.1364.160-0ubuntu3) / Tincr 2.1.1

same issue here, windows 8

Well, after fooling around with this for the better part of my afternoon (I have the bug too, rendering this plugin dead in the water), the best explanation is that I could come up with is the libaray is simply built without the launchFolderSelect method. I started debugging and found that window.nativeFileSupport just plain does not have a method called launchFolderSelect.

After investigating the npapi plugin, I was confused when I clearly could see the method in the source. So then I decided to build the lib myself, only to find that it worked perfectly when I built it myself. Then I noticed the timestamp on the last commit on the x64.so (on my x64 linux/chrome setup seems to load this lib). It seems to be built before the launchFolderSelect method was added to the api of the plugin.

Long story short, it seems like you just need to rebuild the library yourself to get it working.

@ryanackley -- I really wanted to help you out with a pull request fixing this bug, but if I've debugged this correctly, it seems you just need to rebuild the x64 and the .dll I think).

@idealeric Worked for me, thanks

[ThomasG77]

Worked for me too after some fighting with missing headers and CPATH. Thanks

[SV]

@ThomasG77 I did not recompile the extension,I just cloned this package and loaded it in Developer mode.

[Taufan Rezzafri]

@ThomasG77 can you explain how to build the library, same problem here on ubuntu 13.04 but dont know how to deal with it

[Tom Wagner]

rezzafr33 - you will have to use build steps from page https://bitbucket.org/ryanackley/npapi-chrome-file-api/src and compile NPAPI-chrome-file-api in fbbuild directory by make command. Than you will have to solve library dependencies. After compilation you copy npNPAPIFileIOforChrome.so file from fbbuild/bin/NPAPIFileIOforChrome to your tincr directory and replace original file. It worked for me on ubundu 12.04. Hope it helps.

[Taufan Rezzafri]

@tomwagner thanks for replying, the problem is cmake could not find correct path for gtk headers, doesn't it happen on ubuntu 12.04?, somehow i manage to solved it, roughly :p, by creating symlink to /usr/include directory for every missing required headers. btw i am on 64bit ubuntu 13.04

[Tom Wagner]

I made symlinks too. I think that it's not so clever solution, but it works well.

[ThomasG77]

FIY, I followed this recipe using CPATH before compiling http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/error-gtk-gtk-h-no-such-file-or-directory-795475/#post3898879 A way to don't do symlink (I don't know what is the clever solution between this one and symlink)

[Ryan Ackley]

try using

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

or something along those lines. I'm no Linux expert. I didn't have to do anything special besides using apt-get to get it to build.

[King Bowser]

The makefile and related configurations are generated incorrectly in such a manner that many compiler flags are not included.

Here's what I had to do:

export CPATH=$CPATH:/usr/include/gtk-2.0
export CPATH=$CPATH:/usr/include/glib-2.0/
export CPATH=$CPATH:/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include/
export CPATH=$CPATH:/usr/include/pango-1.0/
export CPATH=$CPATH:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include/
export CPATH=$CPATH:/usr/include/atk-1.0/
export CPATH=$CPATH:/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0
export CPATH=$CPATH:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/include
export CPATH=$CPATH:/usr/include/cairo
export CPATH=$CPATH:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include
export CPATH=$CPATH:/usr/include/glib-2.0

Such a PITA.

[King Bowser]

just copied the newly built object to the plugin folder, still broken.
