mplayplug-in and firefox

Hellow everyone,

I'm currently using SeaMonkey Web Navigator and I want to install mplayerplug-in; the problem is when I installed it using the following code
Code:
pkg_add -r mplayerplug-in
, the installer installed firefox as a dependency! I know that mplayerplug-in works with any gecko browser i.e. it works well with SeaMonkey. So, how to install it without firefox. I don't need two browsers in my freeBSD box.

Thanks for help.
 
Here it is:

Code:
cd /usr/ports/www/mplayer-plugin
make -n | grep -A 5 -B 5 firefox | more

so it's like: # make WITH_GECKO=seamonkey

btw, is the port name misspelled on http://www.freebsd.org/ports? I have /usr/ports/www/mplayer-plugin on my disc, but on the ports page its mplayerplug-in.

I don't know if this is also possible with pkg_add without building mplayer-plugin

Thanks for the quick repond,

do I need to type the code like this?
Code:
make -n | grep -A 5 -B 5 firefox |
what about "more:"?
Also do I need to use this code?
Code:
#make WITH_GECKO=seamonkey
please clarify.
 
That's how I found the text about this setting. You don't need it actually.

Code:
make WITH_GECKO=seamonkey

should do the job
 
So this code
Code:
make -n | grep -A 5 -B 5 firefox |
will prevent firefox from being installed with mplayerplug-in? I just want to double-check with you before I proceed with the installation; it's difficult to undo the installation if anything went wrong.

Thanks MG
 
To be exactly, it was a search through the preview of the make command on this port. I was a bit lucky:

If I do:
Code:
cd /usr/ports/www/mplayer-plugin
make -n | grep -A 5 -B 5 firefox | more

I get this info on top of my screen:
Code:
echo ""
echo " mplayerplug-in is using firefox for gecko support, but you can"
echo " change that by defining WITH_GECKO to the following values:"
echo ""
echo "   firefox "
echo "   mozilla "
echo "   seamonkey "
echo "   libxul "
echo ""
true

Maybe this search result only happens on mplayerplug-in-3.55 on CURRENT ports.
I didn't try to build this, but it should just work:
Code:
make WITH_GECKO=seamonkey
 
As I red about Firefox, a 2.0 version should be out of ports and 3.1 or 3.5 should we use but if you install mplayer-plugin for example you will get firefox 2.0 again on the system.

Thanks MG, your help was invaluable. It worked as charm :e. I installed mplayerplug-in using the following code:
Code:
cd /usr/ports/www/mplayer-plugin && make WITH_GECKO=seamonkey install clean
Now I have the plugin installed without firefox.:)
