Hum.. This document is too old. Because, as it is now,
1. '2. add WITH_LIBMAP=yes to /etc/make.conf'
It inspects whether linuxpluginwrapper port needs to update
rtld. So please follow port's message.
2. '4. cd /usr/ports/devel/linuxthreads && make install clean'
No more linuxthreads.
3. '6. edit the Makefile and comment out the following 3 lines:'
Please define WITHOUT_PLUGINS macro if you need.
4. '8. create a libmap.conf in /etc and add the following to it'
SEE ALSO: sample of libmap.conf in exampledir. Please look at
`pkg_info -D linuxpluginwrapper-\*' for details.
5. '9. now restart X (I'm not positive this is necessary, but the howto said so, so I figured it was)'
I think no need. But, as possible as, restart browser.
What can be said in all is already included in linuxpluginwrapper
port:-). Is still document required? I don't think so, but
if flash6(or flash7) is used by native browsers, it advertize
that there is installation necessity about linuxpluginwrapper.
