Hi all, Sorry if I'm forking the discussion a bit, but I started by bumping into this same problem - however, I'm using Firefox 3.7 from Mozilla (and so, not installed from official Jaunty repos), and I wanted to test the latest 0.8.7 gnash.
Because of dependency problems, what I did was actually download the debs: gnash_0.8.7_i386.deb gnash-common_0.8.7_i386.deb gnash-cygnal_0.8.7_i386.deb libboost-date-time1.35.0_1.35.0-8ubuntu5_i386.deb libboost-thread1.35.0_1.35.0-8ubuntu5_i386.deb mozilla-plugin-gnash_0.8.7_i386.deb extacted them and their data contents, and then changed to eventual unpacked .../usr/bin and made this script as rungnash.sh: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib:../lib/cygnal/plugins:../lib/gnash LD_PRELOAD=../lib/gnash/libgnashnet.so ./gtk-gnash $@ and I can see gnash works fine like this, if I call it as, say: ./rungnash.sh -vv -F 2 http://youtube.com/player2.swf Then, I simply copy all the .so's from the /lib and subfolders in firefox/plugins, and call firefox with: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/firefox/plugins LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/firefox/plugins/libgnashnet.so /path/to/firefox/firefox -P myprofile In this case, about:plugins reports Shockwave Flash File: libgnashplugin.so Version: Shockwave Flash 10.1 r999. Gnash 0.8.7, ... etc, however, no Flash content renders at all (no ads either). If I force a display of a browser plugin via http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=WgFgYjWFH0Y, then I get "the plugin for this content has been disabled"; and when I click on it, I get the (enabled) entry for Gnash in the plugin list of Firefox. (hmm.. it seems after removing libflash..*.so from firefox/plugins, and doing a 'repair Extensions/Themes', I do not get "plugin disabled" anymore - but all I get is a grey box, even for say a simple example like on http://www.tizag.com/flashTutorial/flashhtmlcode.php).. So, out from this, I have two subquestions: - What am I missing in the steps above in order to get gnash working in firefox? Is there a guide for something like my case (I guess I'd call it a "portable" install of Firefox + Gnash) - Are there any builds of libgnashplugin.so with all dependencies in it, so that it is the sole and only file needed in the plugins directory of firefox (similar to how Adobe distributes libflashplugin.so); and if not, would it be easy to do in the future (with the purpose of easing testing across versions) Thanks for any answers..
