Anyone looking for a quick solution, this is what worked for me
on FreeBSD 6.0 Release.
I have /usr/ports extracted from the 6.0 Release ISO CD. I also
have a directory which I named /home/newports extracted from
the latest portsnap download:
portsnap -p /home/newports fetch
portsnap -p /home/newports extract
followd by
portsnap -p /home/newports update
The following steps gave me firefox 1.0.7 with a working flash 6
plugin:
cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
make install clean
cd /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin6
make install clean
cd /home/newports/www/linuxpluginwrapper
make install clean
cp -i
/usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/libmap.conf-FreeBSD6
/etc/libmap.conf
Finally edit /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh and add
/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6 to MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH
(near the end of the script) (colon-separated path components)
Now run firefox as usual.
That was it for me. Hope this or some variation of this helps
anyone who needs a working setup quickly. Various linux
compatibility packages got installed in the process as
dependencies (list below) but none gave me any trouble.
linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_3 XFree86 libraries, Linux binary
linux-expat-1.95.5_3 Linux/i386 binary port of Expat XML-parsing library
linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_3 The official Macromedia Flash Player for
Linux Mozilla and
linux-flashplugin-7.0r61 The official Macromedia Flash Player for Linux
Mozilla and
linux-fontconfig-2.1_3 Linux/i386 binary of Fontconfig
linux-glib2-2.2.1_3 Version 2.X Linux/i386 binary port of GLib
linux_base-8-8.0_6 Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (only for
i386)
linuxpluginwrapper-20051113 A wrapper allowing use of linux-plugins with
native applica
Unfortunately the build of firefox 1.5 in /home/newports breaks
for me, so I cannot get firefox 1.5 and flash working together in
this manner yet. Also, I installed linux-flashplugin7 the same
way, however, it crashes firefox 1.0.7 immediately at start, so I
removed the plugin path for flash 7 from MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH.
Firefox 1.0.7 + Flash 6 will keep me running until the new
versions stabilize.
