HOW TO Flash10 plugin, Firefox3 and FreeBSD 7.2 or higher

As a rule of thumb for me when doing a fresh install… I always immediately add the following lines to /etc/make.conf before adding ANY ports:

Code:

OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10

From then on, when I build any linux ports they will depend automatically on the fedora 10 core.

And that all I’m going to cover on linux compatibility other than MAKE SURE ITS RUNNING!!! add ‘linux_enable=”YES”‘ to your /etc.rc.conf file.

1: check the above.

2: add this line to your /etc/fstab

Code:

linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0

3: mount your linprocfs by typing the following at the terminal as root:

Code:

mount /usr/compat/linux/proc

NOTE: If /usr/compat/linux/proc does not exist you made need to create it using the ‘-p’ option!

4: start some additional linux services (this can also be set in rc.conf) by typing the following at the terminal as root.

Code:

/etc/rc.d/abi start
/etc/rc.d/sysctl start

5: if you havnt already.. (tsk tsk!) update your ports and install the following ports:

Code:

cd /usr/ports/www/linux-f10-flashplugin10 && make install clean
cd /usr/ports/www/nspluginwrapper && make install clean

NOTE: As I am using the fedora 10 core emulation layer.. i am therefore using the f10 linux plugin. f8 users will want to use the f8-flashplugin10 port….obvioulsy.

6: close down firefox3 and find the file “libflashplayer.so” by typing the following at the terminal.

Code:

# find / -name libflashplayer.so
/usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

Here is mine above in the npapi directory.

7: IMPORTANT.. at least I thought i was….. exit from super user mode and type the following command at the terminal:

Code:

nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

8: Open up firefox3 and type “about:plugins” into the address bar and hit enter. voila! your plugins should appear as Shockwave Flash.

if dosen`t work try

cd /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins
ln -s /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

For seamonkey

pkg_add -r seamonkey
cd /usr/ports/graphics/gnash
make install && yell
