1 - Summary
This little guide will show you how to install the Linux Flash 6 plugin for a
native build of Firefox in FreeBSD 5.2.1. For this guide to work you will
need to be running FreeBSD 5.2.1 and have a native build of Firefox.
2 - Dependencies
Log in as root before starting. First, add the following to your make.conf file.
# echo "WITH_LIBMAP=yes" >> /etc/make.conf
Now, install this to have libmap support.
# cd /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf
# sudo make clean all install
Linuxthreads is also a dependency that is needed.
# cd /usr/ports/devel/linuxthreads
# sudo make install
# sudo make clean
3 - Wrapper Installation
Install the wrapper itself.
# cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper
Edit the following in the Makefile.
# RUN_DEPENDS= ${LOCALBASE}/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so:${PORTSDIR}/print/acroread5 \
RUN_DEPENDS= ${LOCALBASE}/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so:${PORTSDIR}/www/
linux-flashplugin6
Also edit the following under pre-install:
# @${LN} -sf ${LOCALBASE}/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so \
# ${X11BASE}/lib/browser_plugins/
# sudo make install
# sudo cp work/linuxpluginwrapper-20040727/misc/libmap.conf-FreeBSD5.x /etc/libmap.conf
# sudo make clean
4 - Libmap Configuration
Edit the /etc/libmap.conf file. Comment out everything except the section on
Flash6 for Firebird.
# Flash6 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany
[/usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so]
libpthread.so.0 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
libz.so.1 libz.so.2
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 liblstdc++.so.4
libm.so.6 libm.so.2
libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
5 - Plugin Check
Now, log out of X-Windows. Log back in as a normal user and run firefox. Go into
firefox and type about:plugins. You will see the Flash 6 plugin. That's it,
now you have the Linux Flash 6 plugin for a native build of Firefox on FreeBSD 5.2.1.
