linuxpluginwrapper

[Beecher Rintoul]

I recently had to go through quite a few modifications to get 
linuxpluginwrapper working with Firefox. This has bit several people and 
there was a large thread on questions addressing this issue about two weeks 
ago. My question is can this be fixed or at least documented somewhere?

Here's what I did to get things working:

## Before building linuxpluginwrapper;

rm -R /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins

ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins


## Build linuxpluginwrapper.

cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper

make -DWITH_PLUGINS install clean


## Fix acroread.

mv  /usr/local/bin/acroread7  /usr/local/bin/acroread

rm -rf /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nppdf.so

ln 
-s  /usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nppdf.so

## Change path in /etc/libmap.conf for .nppdf.so

# Acrobat7 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany/Konqueror
[/usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so] 
libc.so.6			pluginwrapper/acrobat.so


## Helix does not work with Firefox or Mozilla at this time and loading the 
plugin can lock up the browser.
## Flash 6.0 works without modification.
## Flash7 will crash Firefox & Mozilla.

Please cc me as I'm not subscribed to ports.

Thanks,

Beech
