I've been struggling to get a handle on the FreeBSD system. Making good progress, but then I ran into the fact that Firefox on FreeBSD can't do

linuxpluginwrapper approach, and it didn't work.

It made me recall, in reading up on FreeBSD, I did see where somebody
installed both Firefox and Linx-firefox.

So before I do battle with this Linux wrapper approach, I wondered if I
would be better off simply installing the Linux-firefox?

Is that easier?  More likely to work?

There is now:
cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-f7 ; make install clean
which you should use instead -- its newer :)


btw, you don't need both native and Linux Firefox. Native Firefox an do flash just fine.

Well, how can it? I cannot build linuxpluginwrapper, it alway fails saying: ===> linuxpluginwrapper-20051113_8 doesn't support ELF symbol versioning, yet..

I am using RELENG_7 on i386.


How to install flash with native Firefox:

portinstall nspluginwrapper
portinstall linux-flashplugin7
portinstall linux-gtk2

There should be no need to set anything in firefox, you should simply run nspluginwrapper -a -v -i as the user who will be using FF, open it, and the plugins should be there.
