I have attached a patch to debian/rules which will fix this bug. The problem was, the build flag which executes "pkg-config --variable=sdkdir libxul" fails because there is no more libxul pc file in firefox-dev in Precise. The remaining pc file, mozilla-plugin, works.

However, the gmtk/gnome-mplayer versions in Precise are both 1.0.5, as in Debian. I think that gecko-mediaplayer should also be synced to that version. I have created a bzr branch with a working ubuntu-ized version of the build scripts for 1.0.5 here:

Thanks Brandon for the patch. You can see the difficulties we have to build 1.0.5 on bug 928101.

[Brandon Snider (brandonsnider)]

Hi.
I'll take a crack at this when I get home from work in a few hours, but I
built 1.0.6 successfully last night for precise:

Precise is EoL, setting task to Won't Fix.
